SKINZ33 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2322228 What is your take on these odds for us to win the super bowl? Does anyone else have a problem with Dallas, New York, and Tampa Bay having better odds than us? No matter the venue, we get no love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmySmith Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Eagles dead last in the NFC East. Oh how far they have fallen. They should have won one when the door was open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#98QBKiller Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 How are the Texans not last? Probably because they have won the Reggie Bush sweepstakes....(if they're smart) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokie_Skinz Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 That seems a little rough, but whatever. These things don't really mean anything unless you're betting on the season. Just will make is sweeter when we do win it all. P.S. as long as Peyton is the qb of the Colts, they won't win. We should probably bring Spurrier back just for our game against the colts next year:silly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 its all very preliminary... No need to get underclothes in a twist yet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should probably bring Spurrier back just for our game against the colts next year:silly: Technically, Vanderjagt lost the game for the colts. But Peyton can only do so much, and the team is too predicated on him throwing. I fear that he will end up like Marino. As far as those teams being better than us, more power to them! Ellie is the most overrated QB in the league. When you make him throw he fails, every time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just making a Joke on how Peyton never beat Spurrier in college. 0-4, and Peyton was at Tenn this year when the Spurrier led South Carolina team beat the Vols...just too ironic. and yeah, he can't do everything himself. He just seems to choke when it comes to the big game. Same with Eli, Bang probably put it best in the Manning's cartoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKINZ33 Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 its all very preliminary...No need to get underclothes in a twist yet.. I understand it all being preliminary, especially since FA hasn't even started. Thats why I cant understand our chances vs. the mentioned teams (Bucs, Cowboys, Giants), I don't know why they would have a better shot than us according to these odds since nothing has happened yet (also considering we swept Dallas and beat Tampa in the playoffs). Trust me, I know in a few months this will all change (hopefully in our favor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Kenzo Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Funny how we sweep the Boys', the Giants lost their first playoff game at HOME, we won at Tampa in the playoffs, and we still get no respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachhaze Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Didn't we beat all of the NFC teams ahead of us except Carolina who we didn't even play? Seattle, Carolina, Dallas, NY Giants, Chicago, and Tampa Bay Strange............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSchwartz Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Well the fact that Seattle is 2nd kinda points out the shortcomings in Vegas... Seriously they have maybe a 5-1 shot to just make the playoffs let alone get back to the Super Bowl... As for the Skins chances, they look about right considering all the talk of starting Brunell next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly why I'm confused in this matter. If these odds are preliminary, than why aren't we favored more over them? Oh well, they wont be able to overlook our trip (and victory) in Miami thats for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Ok, repeat after me: "Odds are set to ensure balanced betting, not to necessarily reflect the actual ranking/power/abilities of teams." Breath. Breath. Breath. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSchwartz Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Well if you think the Redskins are such a good bet, I guess all of you are jumping on the 20-1 then huh??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget what we were predicted to go THIS season, LOL. 4-12, 3-13, 1 of worst 3, 1 of worst 5. I'd prefer them to say we'll be 32nd in the league. That'd seal the SB victory right there. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC3 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I'm a bit surprised about the Eagles and the Redskins. The Eagles because I expect them to continue business as usual minus T.O. Not sure why they would downgrade the Redskins as they did fairly well as an injured team in the playsoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersmartbrunell5 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 You guys know what I'm gonna say--first of all who cares what they think but its the QB position why they have us this low. Noone believes in a washed up veteran or an unproven (basically) <---rookie...Not saying I agree but it is definitely their logic. They know we will sure up receiver and get Thomas back at RG, Saunders will help, and our defense is money etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOVA2Tampa Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Technically, Vanderjagt lost the game for the colts. Technically, the only reason Vanderjagt even had a chance at a game-tying FG was because of the most horse**** call in NFL history...:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
