    Detroit Lions (75-1 Superbowl)

    @ 5dimes

    Someone explain this

    They are the only team with a realistic chance to beat Packers on the road...

    They have to beat Raiders and Chargers to get in...

    Compare to these other teams:

    Giants 30-1
    Broncos 36-1
    Falcons 40-1
    Jets 47-1
    Cowboys 60-1


    How is this not worth $10?

    Not a chance in hell. No running back or secondary.

    when the lions were off to a quick start i saw them as high as 7-1

    it certainly is worth a shot, any team with stafford-johnson and a good defensive line is worth it

    It is the lions and stafford is the QB. If u really knew the true odds of that team winning a superbowl it would make you puke. They will never win in the foreseeable future, just like 95% of the other teams.

    1.1% according to most sites.

    If you knew how to make profit on futures you would not make posts like this.

    Same thing people said about the 2007 Giants, how about this years Cardinals, I could go on.

    10-5 record now. have to likely win 3 road games but the only really tough ones would be saints (+6.5) and packers (+10.5) they have a reasonable chance with anyone

    its +3200 now

    I was telling my buddy earlier today that the lions were getting hot going into the postseason like the pack did a year ago, at 75-1, why the hell not.

    Yep. But I'm playing for 3rd place (Get buy-in back for 3rd) this week. McCoy pick a hell of a time to get hurt, lost last week by 15.

    nfl is a crap shoot sometimes in the playoffs
    #6 seeds win a lot

    have to guess at what rolling the moneylines would be vs. taking the futures to see if there's any value on it

    You're assuming that the books are always right, which would mean you are wasting your time...

    Your logic makes no sense...

    His logic makes sense.

    How many games do you have to win to be superbowl champs?

    I put 10 bucks on them at 40-1, I think theyre getting hot at the right time. I dont expect them to win but for 10 bucks why not.

    Nice buy. 100-1 is a no brainer for any team that's in the tournament, not to mention a quality live dog like the Lions.

    40-1 is still awesome value. I ran some numbers through the SBR parlay calculator and the straight future seems best here.
