    Thinking about putting some future bets down in Vegas next week on the SB. Ideas?

    Nothing huge but I was thinking about throwing down like on four teams.

    Considering the following:

    Bears
    Cowboys
    Saints
    Seahawks

    The only thing that sucks is it looks like online books have better odds than some of the Vegas casinos I have been looking at although odds will change by next Thursday.

    These bets will be placed at the Wynn most likely.

    Thoughts???

    I don't think the Bears or Cowboys will necessarily win it but a return of around $1700 is worth it on a bet of like $50. Both teams will make the playoffs and you really just need one of them to get hot.

    I honestly think the Saints have the best shot at upsetting Seattle. The Niners will not make it back to the Superbowl.

    On the AFC side, I have no idea. I considered the Colts....

    Why are you certain that the Bears will make the playoffs?

    Bears and Pats would probably get you pretty good odds. If both their defenses can get healthy they could make a run. Don't even waste your money on the Cowboys.

    I see Denver coming out of the AFC but they're only like +350 so I don't think it's worth it to put a future on them.

    I feel like the NFC is pretty wide open. That's why I see "value" in taking teams like the Saints and Bears.

    The Saints were 10/1 last I looked. I like the thought of getting $1000 on a $100 bet. I also think the Bears could get hot and really like their defense. Dallas is a pipe dream but they will be in the playoffs with how bad their division is. A $50 bet would return around $1250 so I think it's worth a gamble.

    Really, I just wanted to grab like 3-4 tickets and hold on to them and see what happens. You can mail in any winners if you need to. With that said, if the Bears won and it paid over 2k I would probably just fly out there and pick it up.

    I was also considering the Nets, Pacers, and Bulls in the NBA all Chicago hasn't looked very good. I have no idea who I would pick out of the West. Maybe Golden State?

    Colts? Bears? Cowboys? Are you serious? Lions are a more complete team than any of those teams. Lions turned the ball over 4 times against the Boys and they still beat them. They shredded them. The TO diff was 4-0. Without the TOs that score would be like 54-13 lions...

    I love the Saints bet. Love it.

    The AFC is too open. Pats, Broncos, and Bengals all look like the best teams right now. Chiefs if they get home field and a bye. They're tough at home.

    You're probably right. Colts, Bears, and Cowboys probably are dead money.

    As of now I'll get a future in the Saints and consider the others.

    You like the Bears defense? What exactly is to like? Personally I think Chicago is in a must win spot Sunday if they dream of making the playoffs.

    Saints might not even win their division. Don't listen to Goat. Panthers/Bears present best value if that's what you want. If you want Broncos +300 go ahead.

    Don't listen to me? I told you lions were a more complete team. Now they're 2-0 against the bears. Bears won't even make the playoffs. Yup my analysis spot on as always. Yours is dead money. Panthers have no chance to win it all.

    It's the Saints from the NFC imo.
