The Vegas line for us is 7.5 which is laughable. Go to your nearest casino and drop some coin on the over. I am headed down the Oregon coast in two weeks and I fully plan on going to the casino in Lincoln City to drop a good amount on the over. To me it’s easy money. 12-5 at best and 9-8 if the wheels fall off. Either way, nowhere near the 7.5 line.

Thank me when the season is over. Just remember, always bet responsibly and only bet what you can afford to lose.

A husband was seen yelling at his wife in a casino. He yelled at her “you lost $500???”. She responded with “yes but you lost $1000!!!”. His response “yeah, but I know how to gamble”.

I'm not a big gambler but this just seems like easy money to me.

Famous last words. LOL!
Yeah, I must be a pessimist because it doesn't seem that easy to me. It wouldn't surprise me at all if we ended up at 7-10.

I trust Vegas more than I trust the talking heads and other experts.

I think it's a good bet because I like us to win 5 of these games...

vs. New Orleans
@ Jacksonville
vs. Arizona
@ Tennessee
vs. Indianapolis
@ Carolina

...and I like us getting 3 of these...

vs. San Francisco
@ Pittsburgh
vs. Tampa Bay
vs. Houston
vs. Minnesota
@ Atlanta
vs. Los Angeles

...but that's just me.

Vegas doesn't care about the actual result. They care about the perception of where things will end up so they can get even money on both sides of the line.

Likely Top 5 D and even with a marginal OL, Sammy and co. should do well enough. 9 wins is my basement this season.

I don't have any skin in the game but trust me in saying that "if the wheels fall off" their season would look a lot worse than 9-8. Insurmountable injuries can happen to any team. But yeah, healthy, it should be an over.

Second time today I have typed "I've been wrong before" but this seems to me like the most positive thing you have ever said about the Seahawks on this board. Am I wrong?

rare for teams with a top 5 defense to have a losing record.

Ok, so liquidate the 401K, get a mortgage line of credit, ransack the kids' college fund and sell the wife's jewelry?

Got it. Only because you said I should, Aros.

I see 7 wins as our floor with 11-12 being our ceiling. That is pretty good odds IMO. Sadly I’m not planning any trips to Vegas soon and cans bet online here as it’s not legal but I wish those who make the bet the best of luck.

what's the payout on say $1000?
I think this is close but don't hold me to it.

$1K bet on the over 7.5 wins.
$1000 + 741 = $1741 payout.

$1K bet on the under 7.5 wins.
$1000 + 1150 = $2150 payout.

If you bet $5K on the over you win $3700.

I'm pretty sure those odds will move.
