SEAHAWKS gonna get healthy and gonna pick up some offensive weapons this offseason were still so young and lynch is in contract extension talks right to to sign big extension our defense won't miss a clip we get Zachary miller and menane back and a up and coming 6'6 wide receiver in Matthews showed his stuff in SUPERBOWL
I won't buy a future on em until they lose a game early in season 5-1 too steep for my liking
Go Hawks!!Comment -
Sign me up for baltimore at 33-1. Outplayed New England in NE in the playoffs with a depleted secondary. Jimmy smith and Webb should be healthy plus Ozzie is one of the best GMs in the league imoComment -
Everyone should place a futures bet on both of those AFC teams during the offseason.
I believe one of these teams will make it for the AFC side.
On the NFC side, I'm leaning on the Packers but teams like the Cowboys, Giants or Cardinals have the potential to surprise everyone.Comment -
I like the Cardinals.Comment -
The Cowboys should be just as good if not better than last year. This is a young team at the skill positions, and offensive line, and Romo will not need off season back surgery going into camp this year. Hopefully they are able to resign Murray, and just pound the ball up the middle and keep Romo in the 3rd and short situations. I've got the NFC East as follows:
1) Dallas
2) Philly
3) Giants
4) Washington
I do like your idea of using these futures as hedge in the playoffs.Comment -
could say the same for Bills, Browns, Jets...
lots of teams could have a shot if only they had a QB
I would agree that the Texans are the poster boy, though. They've consistently had good talent each year (including the best player in the NFL) and never got deep into the playoffs due to the QB position.[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual

If you are hedge-planning, you are saying the Giants make the playoffs but then choke?
My plan with the Giants is the opposite. Wait to see if they can get into the playoffs and then bet them game by game depending on the match ups and circumstances if they get that far. The whole point of taking a futures position now is with the real expectation that they can win it all.
I cannot stress enough that setting up futures only to bet against them has such heavy juice that it can't win.Comment -
SlackerOO, why couldn't this situation work? Say for example you place $100 on the Ravens at 33-1. They win their division and get a first round bye. So you could either let that ride during the playoffs or take the other team at -110 at worst to at least get your money back and break even or more if you wanted to make a small profit. If Baltimore continues to win, that just eats $110 off the potential $3,300 winnings, and your on to the next round, of which there would only be two more games including the Super Bowl if they advance that far. You may not make a ton, but once they are in you will make something if you bet more than the breakeven amount for the original wager.
Perhaps we are saying the same thing two different ways.Comment -
Laughable Slacker, this is an example which is obviously above your mental capacity to comprehend. Anytime you want to send me your high roller betting slips through pm, I'll gladly send you mine to compare Mr. Vegas.
Maybe Mom will give you an advance on your allowance, so you can bet it all on your Giants future

It's fine if you are betting pennies with your mom, just decide if your unit is 1 penny or 30 pennies. That's my point.Laughable Slacker, this is an example which is obviously above your mental capacity to comprehend.

I'm leaning Packers, Patriots and Colts.
The Brady suspension is questionable for the Patriots.Comment
