2025 AFC South Odds: Can Texans Pull Off Three-Peat?
Which squad is favored to win the division this season? Here are the odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of July 31, as well as what to know.
AFC South
Texans: +110 (bet $10 to win $21 total)Jaguars: +290 (bet $10 to win $39 total)Colts: +370 (bet $10 to win $47 total)Titans: +600 (bet $10 to win $70 total)
What to know: Annually, a toss-up of a division. In the past 12 years, each team in the AFC South has won the division multiple times — the Colts, Jaguars and Titans twice, and the Texans six times. Houston has won two in a row behind C.J. Stroud, after Jacksonville won it in 2022. Is this the year Trevor Lawrence, thought to be the next star QB in the league, returns the Jags to the top of the division?
Key addition: Tennessee landed the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft after going 3-14 last season, ending the year on a six-game losing streak. With the pick, the Titans selected quarterback Cam Ward, who is expected to start Week 1. Ward is coming off a standout senior year at Miami, where he threw for 4,313 yards, 39 touchdowns and just seven interceptions. He completed 67.2% of his passes with a 172.2 passer rating, leading the ACC. Tennessee struggled to find stability at quarterback last season, alternating between Will Levis and Mason Rudolph. Over his two seasons, Levis threw 21 touchdowns and 16 interceptions in 21 games, while Rudolph added nine touchdowns and nine picks across eight appearances in 2024. The Titans averaged just 18.3 points per game last year, the sixth-fewest in the NFL.

Are fans of the Boston Celtics really okay with seeing Marcus Smart as a Los Angeles Laker?
Are fans of the Boston Celtics really okay with seeing Marcus Smart as a Los Angeles Laker? There has been plenty of deserved support for the Flower Mound native in the NBA media recently. Especially given it was by no means his fault he stopped playing for the Celtics, Smart having been dealt to the Memphis Grizzlies as part of the three-team deal that landed Boston big man Kristaps Porzingis and helped secure Banner 18. But understanding how the Oklahoma State alum ended up in gold and purple will be different from seeing him play in it. Particularly if that play happens to be part of Los Angeles kicking the Celtics posteriors in what is almost certainly going to be a down year. The hosts of the CLNS Media "The Big Three NBA" podcast, A. Sherrod Blakely, Gary Washburn, and Kwani Lunis, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below! If you enjoy this pod, check out the "How Bout Them Celtics," "First to the Floor," and the many other New England sports podcasts available on the CLNS Media network: Listen to "Havlicek Stole the Pod" on: Spotify: iTunes: YouTube: This article originally appeared on Celtics Wire: Are fans of the Celtics really okay with Marcus Smart as a Laker?
