Get the Seahawks now. That'll go up to 8 or 7 by the season opener.

Damnit. I'll be in Vegas in August, and I wanted better odds (for profiting; worse for Seahawks, lol) than that. Oh well...I'll take a 12-1 payoff when we win the Lombardi for Seattle next year. :179422:

 

[jkitsune]

I think I saw a 16:1 somewhere. I would take that.

Roland, by August we could be looking at entirely different odds, depending on factors such as: free agency, the draft, next year's schedule favorability, and most importantly; betting trends.

Seattle has historically NOT been a public favorite (and for good reason) but the sharps are aware of them now and they are getting. Media attention which should make them a trendy pick for squares, as well.

Last year on March 3rd I got Seattle at 75-1 to win the Super Bowl this year.

Look at how much difference 11months makes.

Just heard on brock and salk that we are now 10-1

 

[The Outfield]

Fail list.

The Rams aren't even near the top 10. They should at least be above the Saints.

I saw that yesterday online, as well. But VegasInsider is the standard so I am referencing that.

Incidentally, the Seattle Seahawks are 6-1 to win the NFC.

Behind only the Niners and Packers.

Hahahahahaha!

I'm sure Vegas would love to hire you to teach it how to set lines! :roll:

 

[The Outfield]

They have the Jets, Eagles, Dolphins, Chargers, Browns, Chiefs, and Panthers tied with/ahead of the Rams. You have to be joking me.

Nope. Nobody is joking you....

Sounds like your opportunity to cash in BIG!!! Go make some money!!!!

Could it have anything to do with the fact that the Rams play in the same division as Seattle and San Francisco (2 of the top three teams in the NFC?)

Hmmmmm......... I wonder??

The Rams' odds would be considerably higher if they didn't have to go through the 49ers and the Seahawks to get to the Super Bowl.

That would be like having the Patriots in the AFC North division, and making odds on next year's Stealers playing against the Ravens and Pats for the chance to get into the playoffs. They couldn't even do it this year with the Bengals there.

 

[Hasselbeck]

Largent80 got Seattle at 250 to 1

How does Houston have better Odds than we do?

How does Houston have better Odds than we do?

I wondered about that too, but Ithink it's because of the weakness of their division (according to Football Outsiders, they're roughly tied with the AFC West for weakest division apart from the top team) and the weakness of their conference. It makes it much easier to get a high seed and thus home-field advantage, and once they make the Super Bowl it's basically anyone's game, as we've seen the last few years.

Exactly. Throw in recent history. Consecutive division titles and home playoff games.

Cash money! ... 'bout to go lay 10 large on that right now.

PS. Anyone want to loan me $10,000? I'll pay you back $20,000 in 365 days from now.
