Where would you put your money?

I think the top few are too low...I looked at it for minute and waffled all over the field. The NFL is too unpredictable season to season.

Then bet your life savings and get the lottery winner down the street to chip in too.

You can really hit that 10-1 hard. Easy money.

I would need 40-1 or more to put $10 on the Titans.

Have you lost your mind? The Bears are comedy. They hired a guy that couldn't win a game to try and get a unit that couldn't stop anyone, to stop them.

We won't be above .500 for a least another three years.

I'm just trying to find some value. How could you bet any of those top 6 or 8 teams at those prices in February? I was looking at it like a Derby Future. If you are going to bet that early, you'd better get a price.

Teams in the NFL have miraculous turnarounds from season to season. I haven't given up on Cutler yet.

40/1 on the Panthers is a little interesting. Obviously I like it a lot better if they resign Peppers and lose Delhomme. But that seems like a big price for a team that was the #2 seed two years ago and played well at the end last season.

50-1 on a team that started the season 6-0 is interesting too..Not that I really believe Denver can do that, there is something there.

You must be kidding. 16-1 is just right for the Eagles.

I think Martz is going to be a good fit, and I bet they score a lot of points.

But yeah, they'll probably give up a lot of points too.

At some point they have to address the offensive...and I mean that literally..line or Cutler will get killed, pout and throw 25 picks again.

Agreed. And it will also be interesting to see how that pass happy offense does in the windy city...with no receivers.

This looks like one of those desperation, lets try anything moves that never seem to work.

The Saints have a strong chance of repeating. Their only weak point is stopping the run, and Payton and Loomis will take care of that in the offseason. I fully expect that Reggie Bush won't be a Saint next year. Maybe the new guy in Seattle will take him.

The NFC is going to be very strong next year. The Falcons, Cowboys, Packers, Redskins, and 49ers are poised to have good seasons. Vikings might be a contender next year depending on what happens at QB, and the same goes for Philly. In the AFC I really like the Texans.

The Falcons @ 30-1 would be my play.......Had a ton of injuries last year on Defence plus Turner and Ryan. Two years ago they were very good........ the league catches up to them after their 1st good year in a while...... than they make a big leap forward. This is similar to the Saints pattern the last 3 years and very common in the last decade or 2.
