This doesn't affect me much

One way or the other, but if I were an oddsmaker I’d put Seattle a lot lower. Aging quarterback, no o-line, incosistent defense. I know Pete Carroll is a new coach but he’s not going to right the ship in one year. But then again, they do have them at 45-1.

I think the Broncos will have a great year next year-but I always say that.

San Diego 8-1?

How do they stay alive with their heads shoved so far up there?

I think our odds at the start of last year were 40/1

Looks like they basically used the Draft positions to make these odds.

No respect for the Saints

Not even a day after they win it all they’re not even the #1 rated team going into next year.

Also, I think Minny should be a lot higher up on this list. On paper they have the most talented team in the league.

You probably get this a lot. This isn't the real Caesar's Palace is it?....Did Caesar live here?

Only if Favre has another year in him

Yeah,

I don’t think Minny is the most talented team in the league even with a 30 yr old Favre.

Well, after we beat the Packers, we weren't the favorites to repeat

Vegas is about making money, they want to generate action, so some odds are set really high so people will make that bet.

Chicago

Might be a three or four win team next year. I’m baffled by the Martz effect. Everywhere he goes, people start making playoff reservations early, despite every piece of evidence to the contrary.

This is a great opportunity to cash in.

If you have an extra thousand to plop down. It would be a miracle, but I’ve seen stranger things happen.

by bfree2bronc on Feb 8, 2010 11:47 AM MST reply actions 0 recs

20 to win a thousand is a fun chance though.

Much better odds than a lotto ticket.

I'm glad we had this talk.

Haha!

These are the most pointless things ever. Interesting though that we have worse odds than Seattle? Seriously?

I guess the Sandy Ego Lovefest never ends - just like the Brett Favre's.

Hey, John?

Do you have the odds from last year? It would be interesting to see how those compare to the way the season actually played out.

Well, they can take their odds and do whatever they want with them, at this point.

We haven’t even started free agency yet, so there isn’t much basis for this.
