    Should I hedge my fantasy bet of team going 16-0 at +6600?

    Hi guys!

    I´m wondering, I put 25 bucks at "any team going 16-0" at +6600 in the beginning of July.
    Just wondering now, cashing this would be a huge win to me, so should I hedge, and in that case in what way?
    My brother is a huge fan of the falcons, and he tells my falcons has no shot of beating them this season, what do you guys think?

    Last four games are vs Atl, at NYG, at Atl, vs TB.... I would agree, Carolina will have all their guys in Sunday and will probably beat Atl at home.

    I would wait til the last two games or so. I know Carolina has the division wrapped up already, but don't start hedging too early.

    Hedge against the Giants. Also, I'd say Tampa has a better chance of beating Carolina at this point than the Falcons.

    Three division games and the hungry Giants. Hedge.

    Definitely hang in their thru this next one vs. Falcs. I'd let 'er ride the rest of the way too. Helps a bit that Giants next game is Monday night -- shortened prep week for Panthers.

    I'd hedge now. Saints played balls out Sunday and I expect similar going forward against division rivals plus Giants who are amazingly still in that division race. Everyone will be trying to knock off the Panthers and what does Carolina really need to prove after they have the #1 seed locked down? I guess you could hedge some now and then some more next week, but I'd put down the max hedge after the #1 seed is guaranteed.

    This saints game was only close because of the rare multiple turnovers by the panthers. Otherwise full blowout mode.
    So pls, grow balls, dont hedge. Giants game will be close but I cant see an upset anyhow.

    ...
    Full blowout mode? Carolina was trailing much of the game. Turnovers are part of the game, can't just write them off.

    100%. You can argue that Carolina was lucky to win this game. A few questionable calls kept their last drive alive.

    Stay out till after next week . This team is (including myself) hasn't gotten much respect all year. Hard to see them loose at home vs Falcons .

    I'd say let it ride this week. Hard to look ahead in NFL so just take it week by week. Gut tells me they should be good for the next 2 weeks...final 2 weeks I might consider looking for a hedge especially if carolina rests anyone..

    Going undefeated over an entire regular season is one of the Holy Grail NFL records. Extremely hard to do, extremely rare. It's truly legendary stuff. There'll be no letup in these Panthers as long as that goose egg remains in the loss column. That's not even up for debate.

    And they're not going to rest anyone while still undefeated, except when a game's already in the bag, like today -- at 38-0 Newton sits out Q4.
