Who will end the season with the worst regular season record? The conventional answer is the Houston Texans.
They are 1-3-1 through five weeks and they are the betting favorite to have the worst record at the end of the season. However, the bottom line is that not losing 2 of 5 games to start the season, even with one tie, is a really good start for a team considered to be the league's worst.
Worst NFL records this season through Week 5
Here's a look at the teams with the worst records in the NFL through Week 5.
- Pittsburgh Steelers: 1-4
- Carolina Panthers: 1-4
- Washington Commanders: 1-4
- Las Vegas Raiders: 1-4
- Detroit Lions: 1-4
- Houston Texans:1-3-1
Here are the betting odds for the favorites to finish last in the NFL this season with bet365.
- Houston Texans 16/5
- Carolina Panthers 16/5
- Pittsburgh Steelers 9/2
- Washington Commanders 9/1
- Chicago Bears 10/1
- Seattle Seahawks 10/1
Pittsburgh Steelers were our value pick but the odds shortened
Last week, our pick was the Pittsburgh Steelers for betting value in this market. However, a week ago they were 12 to 1. In Week 5, they truly did look like the worst team in the NFL. That was especially the case since the Houston Texans won their game. Also, Carolina fired their coach and sometimes teams change directions when they change head coaches.
Take New Orleans at 40/1
The one team that does not appear in either list is the New Orleans Saints. They are 2-3 on the season and priced at 40 to 1 with bet365 sportsbook to have the worst record at the end of the season.
The Saints have only beaten bad teams and Jameis Winston has not been playing well when he has played. Also, the Saints actually lost to the Carolina Panthers to give Carolina its only win this season. Take the Saints at 40 to 1 this week.
Down the road, they do have the Pittsburgh Steelers. If Pitt's rookie QB improves by then, that game might be a pivotal one to avoid the league's worst record.
