One Futures Bet A Day For NFL Countdown: Quarterback Interceptions

Most Interceptions Thrown by any QB in Regular Season Over 17.5 (-115 on Bet365)

Yesterday’s NFL futures bet regarded the most passing touchdowns over the regular season. While that was a fun bet, this one may be even more fun. Rooting for an under in any given game or rooting for the defense is always an interesting feeling. In this future, we’re rooting for a quarterback to make mistake after mistake. Let’s take a look at the most interceptions thrown by a quarterback in a regular season to be over 17.5.

Last year two quarterbacks hit this. Josh Allen, who will obviously start again this year, and Sam Howell. New quarterbacks are making starts and rookies will be given leads. However, it doesn’t always take a bad quarterback to throw interceptions. Josh Allen is the perfect example. He’s a top quarterback, but he’s also a gunslinger.

Who could lead in interceptions this year?

To be fair, before last year you have to go back to 2019 when three quarterbacks went over the mark. From 2020 to 2022, no quarterback threw more than 17. However, we have our expanded season, and we have more and more passing. The NFL seems to be setting up the game to try and make it quicker-paced and to add more scoring. This will happen through the quarterbacks. 

Will Josh Allen lead the league again in interceptions? Jalen Hurts threw 15 last year, is it possible he’ll throw a couple more? What about guys like Tua, Patrick Mahomes, and Trevor Lawrence who had 15 last year? There are also rookies who will be given long leashes this year. Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Drake Maye may be given a lot of patience and time. If they are, could they become turnover machines?
