The LVRJ had a fairly recent post see:
https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/betting/here-are-the-nfl-2017-regular-season-win-totals/
as well as this: http://www.oddsshark.com/nfl/2017-nfl-season-win-totals
there's also season props here:
http://www.oddsshark.com/nfl/2017-nfl-season-props
With the recent news of NYJ overhaul/rebuilding that 5.5 win season total win is mighty high.
Reviewing this upcoming season games for NYJ, I would guess that their weakness opponents are JAC (week 4 @home) and CLE (week 5 on the road). They also play BUF (week 1 on the road and week 9 @home). Another team I think they might have a chance are @DEN(week 14) and vs SD (week 16). But the more I look at it, the more I think they have a chance of going 0-fer.
Going 0-fer pays 1400-to-1 at oddsshark.
I'd place $ on under the season win total of 5.5 for the NYJ and if you can find an 0-fer bet I bet on it occuring this season, particularly since the teams that NYJ have a chance of beating all appear to better. In some cases, like JAC and DEN their D will likely hold NYJ to a FG or two.
BUF may just run them over and SD at the end of the season may still be in the playoff hunt and likely not concede anything to NYJ.

2017 - OT shortened to 10 minutes - an angle to bet on? or bet against?
I read this: http://www.footballzebras.com/2017/05/23/owners-approve-shortened-overtime-dont-know/
and noted the article stated that if this had been implemented last season, then there would be 3 additional games ending up as tied.
I recall ARI HC Arians stating that after their 6-6 OT game w/SEA, their team did not have a normal week for the next game. I believe he stated they only had a walk thru instead of the normal practice.
This opens up a betting opportunity - betting against teams the following week after participating in OT game that went the full length of OT. Even though OT has been shortened from 15 min to 10 min, the way it affects team preparation for the following game appears to be a situation that's hard to ignore.
It is a small sample size to review from last year and their aren't many OT games during the season.
How it affects teams performance in the following game needs to be reviewed in more detail.
2016 season, OT game, following week SU results:
week 1 SD @KC 27-33, week 2 JAC @SD 14-38, KC @HOU 12-19 (W, L) [sd l,w] [kc w,l]
week 3 CLE @MIA 24-30, week 4 CLE @WAS 20-31, MIA @CIN 7-22 (L, L)[cle l,l][mia w,l]
week 6 IND @HOU 23-26, week 7 IND @TEN 34-26, HOU @DEN 9-27 (W, L)[ind l,w][hou w,l]
week 7 SD @ATL 33-30, week 8 SD @DEN 19-27, GB @ATL 32-33 (L, W)[sd w,l][ atl l,w]
week 7 SEA @ARI 6-6, week 8 SEA @NO 20-25, ARI @CAR 20-30 (L, L)[sea t,l][ari t,l]
week 8 WAS @CIN 27-27, week 9 bye, bye
week 8 OAK @TB 30-24, week 9 DEN @OAK 20-30, ATL @TB 43-28 (W, L)[oak w,w][tb l,l]
week 8 PHI @DAL 23-29, week 9 PHI @NYG 23-28, DAL @CLE 35-10 (L, W)[phi l,l][dal w,w]
week 9 DET @MIN 22-16, week 10 bye, MIN @WAS 20-26 (bye, L)[det w,bye][min l,l]
week 12 KC @DEN 30-27, week 13 KC @ATL 29-28, DEN @JAC 20-10 (W, W)[kc w,w][den l,w]
week 14 NYJ @SF 23-17, week 15 MIA @NYJ 34-13, SF @ATL 13-41 (L, L)[nyj w,l][sf l,l]
week 16 MIA @BUF 34-31, week 17 NE @MIA 35-14, BUF @NYJ 10-30 (L, L)[mia w,l][buf l,l]
week 17 CLE @PIT 21-27, week 18 playoffs - CLE out, MIA @PIT 12-30 (DNP, W)[cle l,dnp][pit w,w]
interestingly enough;
prior to week 8 team that loses OT wins following game (except for CLE)
prior to week 8 team that wins OT loses following game
after week 8 team that loses OT loses following game (except den vs atl close game, cle dnp)
after week 8 team that wins OT wins following game (except DET bye, nyj vs div, mia vs div)
so it appears:
prior to mid season, bet against winner of OT the following week
prior to mid season, bet on loser of OT the following week (w/reservation to not bet)
after mid-season, bet against loser of OT (w/reservation to not bet)
after mid-season, bet on winner of OT, the following week (w/a lot of reservation to not bet)

2016 - week 21 (aka Play offs week 4) - results
So an OT win for NE vs ATL at SB LI with an ending score of 34-28. I wasn't too far off with my thoughts of a 35-30 game. The favorite/over combo won the money. My instincts are thinking the sports books got hit hard.
What a game, things were really looking bleak for NE with ATL up 28-3 in Q3 and I also thought the game was over as well, but I wonder if game management by ATL could have been better, when they had field position and could have score a FG, but Brady, Belichick and their Defense woke up after that doink (the missed PAT) and now we have a very memorable Super Bowl LI...

2016 - week 21 (aka Play offs week 4) - picks
Two weeks away, but here's my instinct picks....
I normally would take under the total, but due to TV timeouts (and their length - longer than normal as compared to regular season) I'll go over... say... 35-30?
Below is a chart of each teams regular season opponents as well as the past two weeks of post season.
As you can see below, they have played 5 common opponents this season.
NE @ARI wk 1 win, ARI @ATL wk 12 win (CoBye)
SEA @ NE wk 10 loss (CoBye), ATL @SEA wk 6 loss
NE @SF wk 11 win, SF @ATL wk 15 win
LA @NE wk 13 win, ATL @LA wk 14 win
NE @DEN wk 15 win, ATL @DEN wk 5 win
not much difference, if they played the opponent earlier in the season it was 'close', later on in the season much more scoring, a larger difference in scoring
02/05 6:30 PM 101 NE -3 * 102 ATL 59 over

The late change of game time for PIT @KC due to an expected ice storm, may or may not have affected the game, but it did affect my thinking. It left me frozen I did not change my picks, I would have at least changed the total to under, but I doubt I would have changed to PIT -1
as for this weeks results (much better, odd how fav's won on saturday, and dogs won on sunday):
ATS: 3-1
Totals: 2-2
Saturday games were snoozers and Sundays games were much more exciting... on to next week

2016 - week 18 (aka Play offs week 1) - picks
Update 1/4: added White Hat(WH) records - tendencies - of which some are going against what I picked, maybe I'll change...
OAK @HOU, is a game that's tough to call. Overall OAK is the better team, the edge @QB should go to HOU, but each team will need to win running the ball, stopping the run and playing field position w/their respective ST players OAK has the more experienced FG kicker, but HOU has the better punter...

01/07 4:35 PM 101 OAK 37 under 102 HOU -3 * week 11 rematch OAK won 27-20 vs HOU (@OAK) OAK QB Cook starts? (1st) HOU QB Osweiler starts? Placing a first half bet on under (18½?) seems prudent Both teams will need to win running the ball, play good ST and outstanding D There should be a lot of punts, likely 6 to 7 punts each, with the most possessions to be 10 for each team. So 3 to 4 scores at most for each team Likely only 1 TD each and the rest FGs... Sports books posted a total of 37 (20-17) I'm thinking 16-13 at most... This game really looks like a 6pt tease candidate, w/OAK +9 and under 43 combo. or if you're into 'middling' do 6½ pt tease HOU +2½/OAK +9½ or under 43½/over 31½ as possible or if you're really fearful do a 7pt tease HOU +3/OAK +10 or under 44/over 30 as possible if OAK can win with run O, this game could be moneyline win WH 12-3 FAV SU (LY 13-2 FAV SU)
01/07 8:15 PM 103 DET 42½ * 104 SEA -7½ **over** judging by the total posted for this game, sportsbooks have questions 6 pt tease = DET +13½/over 36½ DET moneyline? normally I'd look at under due to SEA D prowess, but I'm thinking at the half a score of 13-10 or more is likely WH 3-12 Over-Under
01/08 1:05 PM 105 MIA 47 over 106 PIT -10 * week 6 rematch MIA won 30-15 vs PIT (@MIA) MIA QB Moore starts (3rd) 6 pt tease = PIT -4 over 41 MIA +16 (unsure if under 53 will win) PIT should win, cover? 31-20? WH 11-4 RoadATS & FAV SU (LY 12-3 FAV SU)
01/08 4:40 PM 107 NYG 44½ * 108 GB -4 **under** Placing a first half bet on under (22½?) seems prudent week 5 rematch GB won 23-16 vs NYG (@GB) 6 pt tease = under 50½ NYG +10 GB +1 (I don't think over 38½ will win) 21-17? WH 10-4-1 RoadATS 4-10-1 FAV-DOG-tie (LY 3-13 FAV-DOG)

2016 - week 17 - results
An unusual season, but one I ended on the UP swing, which is nice.
No teams looks truly dominant, with all playoff bound teams having an Achilles heel (or two).
I'll remember this season for the white hats calling less penalties and there were far more sweeps of division series than I can recall.
SF will need to find a new direction as this franchise is in disarray. It was a waste of a season for former head coach Chip Kelly. Perhaps he'll find a position w/NE, just my guess as he and HC Belichick are good friends.
Week 17 results:
ATS : 10-6
Totals: 8-8
for the regular season:
ATS : 132-117-6
Totals: 130-119-6
