SuperBowl futures

ICE CUBE · 09-19-2006, 12:00 AM

looking at odds to win it all & there are a few #'s that look good
cincy @ 14-1 (this team has a defense now)
atl @19-1 this team runs the ball and plays defense and in NFC

other thought- could just play 2 or 3 NFC teams with chance to hedge later on
i think with atlanta (19-1) and chicago (12-1) you can feel pretty good that one or both make it deep into playoffs
run the risk of seattle/nygiants/or dallas knocking them out

also
any thought as to what books typically have best futures odds?

nehpets · 09-19-2006, 12:42 AM

exchanges and slow moving books

atlanta and chicago have 1/1000000000000000000000000 to win a superbowl.

vick is a pathetic qb who will never win a title . while chicago had zero playmakers on offense

imo you would be better of just betting the afc and hoping one of the 3 best teams ...indy, baltimore or san diego wiins .

how much can i bet you?

I don't need all those zeros, I will just take 100-1 on each

deal?

definitely like the falcons chances with those numbers. whats your max bet robin?

robin · 09-19-2006, 03:38 PM

geez to both

yall both really think atlanta has a chance?

brett · 09-19-2006, 03:44 PM

atlanta definitely has a chance. Vick can make plays. He can be 11-26 for 160 and they can win 24-10. They have weapons and play defense. Not many better teams in the NFC.

nino brown · 09-19-2006, 03:47 PM

ditto brett.

robin · 09-19-2006, 04:20 PM

yall may be right....but scrambling / inaccurate qbs have never won a title.

they have improved on d alot wiht deangelo hall coming into his own , and john a.

they also have a great running game, but come on guys name a team ever that has won a superbowl with a bad passing qb and weak recievers?

2000 ravens dont count

Crony · 09-19-2006, 04:57 PM

Trent Dilfer
Brandon Stoakley

Sharpe

ICE CUBE · 09-19-2006, 11:56 PM

play defense
run the ball
qb that can make plays when needs to convert

atl & chi have all three
only a few other teams in that category

robin · 09-20-2006, 12:12 AM

in theory that works ice cube,,in theory,,,,

in reality 16 of the last 20 teams to win the superbowl have had a hall of fame qb and 3 that didnt 2000 ravens , 2002 tampa bay, and 1986 bears had the best defense in the league by far.

2006 steelers and 1991 redskins break the mold.

even those teams that didnt have a hof qb and had great defenses most all had good offenses, except 2000 ravens .

looking back on who actually wins superbowls it gives atlanta and chicago very very very very little real chance

robin · 09-20-2006, 12:15 AM

hall of fame or mvp qb

ICE CUBE · 09-20-2006, 12:24 AM

game changes over time
recent past has been steelers/patriots/ravens/rams/buccs
only the rams didnt have a great defense

nino brown · 09-20-2006, 12:27 AM

rams d was actually pretty stout. they scored a lot of tds that year.

robin · 09-20-2006, 12:34 AM

so you would agree u need either a great great qb or a top d in the league

where does atlanta or chicago fit in?
