    Is this a good bet??
    Dallas to win the NFC (+250)

    AND

    Seattle to win the NFC (+250)

    Those numbers are currently available @ 5Dimes.

    So, if you bet both of them for the same amount, basically you have Dallas OR Seattle winning the NFC at (-133).

    Is this a good bet? I have a hard time believing anyone else comes out of the NFC. I don't really like locking up money on a favorite, but it's hard to imagine any other NFC team winning.

    Good? Yes.... I mean sure... but if I am betting a future in that conference I would want a long shot that could happen. Like Detroit at +1400.

      You fukking square



      If you wait a week you'll get even worst numbers to bet

      In all honesty, the value is gone for that to be considered a good bet, but it's still a safe bet

        The other option is to wait and see if Wash beats Dallas, and hope Seattle loses as well. You'll squeeze a little bit out of the books this way as ppl jump off the Dallas bandwagon.

        I'd personally be more inclined to just take Seattle at +250 than both.

          I think you have an edge there , yes.

          If the Giants lose early you should be partying like the rock star you are, The Giant.

            Steve, wheres the edge?

            Also, if Dallas and Seattle met in the nfc championship game, what do you surmise the spread would be, both in Dallas as well as Seattle

            How much would he lose by tying his money up for that long?

              I think part of the reason I like it is those numbers aren't available anywhere else.

              Can you guys find (+250) for Seattle or Dallas anywhere else?

                  I said I got the lines at 5D.

                  Pay attention.

                  Are you hammered this early in the morning?

                  Lions and Falcons have no chance. I would think Giants and the Vikings have a better shot. But honestly, it looks like a two horse race.

                      Falcons could have beaten Seattle if Sherman gets flagged for giving Julio a rock bottom on the final drive

                      dont overlook the Giants. The Vikings & Packers, healthy...which probably won't happen...could make a run. Don't buy the Lions as contenders. Probably not Skins either. So it's Giants Falcons & Longshots. Right now I don't see anyone winning those divisional games but Dallas & Seattle

                        I wasn't thinking that it'd be money he uses to pay his rent/mortgage.

                        The spreads....maybe in Dal, Dal -2 maybe in Seattle Sea -3? Tough to say. I'd bet Seattle in either of those scenarios.

                        The edge is simple, he puts down $200 and likely wins $500. If they meet up he can double up on whoever he likes. Personally I don't think Prescott is ready to beat Seattle with all the chips on the table, especially in Seattle.

                            Great information, guys.

                            Especially Opie hammering that Hillary voter. Hopefully Kraken was able to find a safe space.

                            This is what SBR is all about.

                                      The good thing about Dallas is that you have 2 starting QBs if something happens to one of them. Only thing that worries me about Seattle is the run game.

                                          COWBOYS ARE 5-1 AGAINST THE REDSKINS ON THANKSGIVING
                                          The red-hot Dallas Cowboys have won and covered 9 straight games. They're also 5-1 against the Redskins on Thanksgiving.

                                            Lions always fuk up during the playoffs. No such thing as +EV with them.

                                            But... here's what the Lions need to get somewhere...

                                            1. They need LEVY at 100%.. people might say he sucks... but he makes that Defense GO. Out of the line up... they have zero chance in the playoffs. If he doesn't return Thursday... Minnesota +2.5 might be a solid play.

                                            2. They need a damn running back that they can count on! This RB rotation is ridiculous.

                                                      If these two teams do meet for NFC Championship, only one of those bets would be +EV and that would be the home team. I project lines to be Dallas -3 at home or Seattle -3.5 at home.

                                                        Risking 2 units to win 1.50 units.

                                                            Of course. The lines were off. I couldn't find them that juicy anywhere else.

                                                              Nope don't think Seattle will get 3 in Dallas
