    The original report was that only the AFC would be allowed an 8th playoff spot... this would also include NO BYE for the 1st seed team. Of course they said if you do it for the AFC you have to do it for the NFC. Interesting.

    Correct. I just took this screenshot just now at BetOnline. What do you think their angle is though? I'm thinking they are trying to sucker people into betting a bad line? They will cancel the winners and keep the losers money. I'm tempted to bet $1 on a couple of them just to see what they do.




    Maybe the 8 teams is all BS and BetOnine already knows it.

    I'm trying to remember and Google isn't helping, How did sportsbooks handle NBA/NHL "To make playoffs" bets during the covid stoppage/shortened seasons? The NHL let 24 teams in the playoffs (12 per conference) that year and I want to say Caesars graded "yes" and "no" as winners for certain teams around the 8 seed bubble.

    As little as the top seed means in this day and age, it's no big deal and it's certainly better than letting an extra team into the playoffs. It isn't fair to Buffalo but these are extraordinary circumstances.

    It sounds like it’s just neutral field site for afc championship game. All this talk and we won’t even see it matter come afc championship game.

    I hope they don't play it at a neutral site because it could end up setting a trend. I remember back in the day there was consideration being given to holding both conference championship games at neutral sites.

    I like neutral sites. One game in San Diego and one in Miami. 80 degree weather. No need to play in -10 in Buffalo or Kansas City.

    Disagree. 80 degree football especially in january is super gay. Love the elements of outdoor stadiums cold/snow etc..thats the whole point of wanting home field advantage.
    This is not baseball.

    I actually don't hate it. No HFA. Let the better team win. Like the Super Bowl.

    Maybe the 8 teams is all BS and BetOnine already knows it.
    Their rules "suggest" they will count 8 teams if the NFL says 8 made it.



    NFL Futures
    NFL Futures championship wagers are considered action. In the case of a shortened season or any other unforeseen event, the winner of these said wagers is determined by the NFL.Whoever the NFL deems the winner is the winner for wagering purposes. If no winner is determined by NFL then all wagers are considered NO ACTION and all monies are REFUNDED.
    NFL Divisional Odds To Win

    Whether the season is a full 17 game season or a shortened season, the NFL Divisional winner will be graded on who the NFL determines the winner. If the season is shortened and the NFL does not recognize a winner, bets will be no-actioned.
    NFL Season Win Totals
    1. Teams must play 17 games in the regular season for wagers to have action. Postseason games do not count.2. If teams do not play every regular season game scheduled, then wagers will be deemed “No Action.”

    I totally agree with you. Neutral sites are plain ridiculous. Why even have a regular season then.... to gain Home Field Advantage? Plain dumb.
