why is everyone saying the pats won't make it again? They were a decent team this year when it was supposed to be a rebuilding year and they have several good draft picks this year to close up the D

111 Detroit Lions +3500 <----they will make the playoffs this yearComment -
the bears maybe looks pretty good. i agree there's no value with favorites.Comment -
i put 10 to win 1000 on buffalo but that they win the AFC, i know itl never happen by what the hell. i put 25 to win 1000 on sf plus 4000.
i think sf can be good if they get a qb and its only 25 bucks, i can always hedge it if they get to indy!Comment -
favre will be back .. vikes 70/1 is a win

I think the Rams will make it to the playoffs with a good QB Bradford, a good RB Jackson, with good statistics on both offense and defense with a head coach who has Super Bowl experience with the Giants as a defensive coordinator.
The Seahawks will not make it to the playoffs, Hasselback is getting old.Comment -
Way to early to tell if we will even have football next season
Comment -
Way too early for this, but interesting to think about.Comment -
I like the Lions, but would definitely want better than +3500 to get them..Comment -
Is it just me or are the odds to win the super bowl a horrible investment? They are big money maker for the books imoComment -
So if there is no season do the books keep all the bets? lolComment -
Green Bay repeat!Comment -
Ironically, I see a lot of value in the lower teams. Cardinals, PanthersComment -
If favre comes back then no way vikes winComment -
Packers 1 unit
Jets 1 unit
Ravens .5 unit
Patriots .5 unit
Saints .5 unit
Falcons .5 unit
I think this would be the best way to bet.Comment -
Dividing 1 by the payout for each team, and adding all of those percentages together = 149.07%, am I mistaken or does the book make $.50 for every dollar bet (assuming bets are spread evenly) This is a horrible bet.Comment -
That sounds about right. It is a horrible bet, unless you've got some incredible edge that overcomes that insane vig. Betting anything less than 10 to 1 is just unwinnable, IMHO, unless you've got a bead on some kind of straight fix. But I don't think that exists in the NFL, even though some seem to think NFL stands for National Fixed League. lmao
Last year, one could pick up the Jets for 20:1 around this time and Steelers at 20:1 around the draft, which I thought were reasonable value at that time. If you look back through the champions in the salary cap era, most of them were in this range. The biggest juice is running on the top 5 or 6 favorites, the biggest sucker bets.Comment -
I agree, the favorites are more of a sucker bet, and I am skeptical that any have value. If I was forced to bet on a team, it would be more of a sleeper.Comment -
If you bet the Lions at +3500 to win the SB you need your head examined.Comment -
Nevermind my previous betting style. I was experimenting.
I say during the offseason. Bet only on 2 to 4 teams with a 10 to 1 odds or greater.Comment -
Or if the labor dispute isn't settled until week 10.
I'm kinda curious if this will tempt Favre to come back if the lockout continues through the training camps and preseason. That's the main reason Favre keeps retiring, all the practices.
Even if Favre doesn't come back, which is my guess, 70/1 is still good value if Minny can trade for a decent QB.Comment -
Better odds of a lockout this year, lol...Comment
