Peyton Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Seattle has cooled a little bit, but not because people are liking Atlanta more. Atlanta isn't even the betting favorite in the NFC.Odds to win the Super Bowl:Broncos 3/1Pats 15/4Niners 6/1Falcons 7/1Packers 15/2Seahawks 12/1Texans 14/1Redskins 18/1Ravens 22/1Vikings 35/1Bengals 45/1Colts 45/1Odds to win the NFC:Niners 12/5Falcons 5/2Packers 10/3Seahawks 6/1Redskins 8/1Vikings 18/1The only bet on the board that I think is priced advantageously is the Bengals, but I do think the Falcons are a pretty good play at 7 to 1, as well as a decent play at 5 to 2 to win the NFC.Seattle is still way overpriced in my opinion.http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/redskins-watch/2013/jan/2/redskins-super-bowl-championship-odds-and-more/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peyton Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Time to put up a 100 on the Falcons.If you think the Falcons have a better than 52% chance to win each game, it's a good bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hustle Up Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Broncos are a lock to the SB, that might be a dime play right there. I had the Falcons as a lock to SB but I am more cautious because of those stupid injuries against TB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't see them going on the road to Den and getting it done. I'm rollin with Broncos $$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon Freddie Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I was in Las Vegas last February and noted that the odds at the sports book for the Atlanta Falcons were:Winning the NFC Championship (i.e.: playing in the Super Bowl): 15/1Winning Super Bowl: 30/1Times change, don't they?

Smiler11 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I got the falcons at 32-1 before the season started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtybgirl Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 The niners ranked higher than the Packers is an eye openerI don't think the Packers are that good this year. Rodgers is having to carry the team... and he is not as sharp as he can be. IMHO. Although, the niners look beatable. Not sure I'd want to beat on either. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarterback Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Peyton Manning has went 1 and done 9 times in his career. The Broncos are far from a lock.And at 3 and done some here already have suggested trading Ryan for other inferior QB's after just 4 seasons. Amazing.I think will 1-3 the evening of January13, 2013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I'd want to beat on either. lolPerhaps, but those 10-6 packers and 9-7 Giants looked nearly invincibe the past 2 playoffs so we will see who the hottest teams and QB's are starting this weekend.

irish_falcon Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Time to put up a 100 on the Falcons.In what is still technically a 12 horse race 7/1 is not great odds... if you like our chances you're probably better off backing us game to game. I mean we will maybe be 2.5 point favorates in the divisional round (assuming it's seattle we play, we'd be 3.5 vs the vikings or redskins I reckon), 1 or 1.5 point favorates in the conference championships and then probably 3+ point underdog in the superbowl (assuming it's the Patriots or Broncos)All that being said personally would be much more of a fan of betting week to week in this case (although I have a policy of never betting on the falcons... don't want to either jinx them or risk compounding the misery of a loss) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irish_falcon Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 The niners ranked higher than the Packers is an eye openerI don't think that is indicative of Vegas thinking San Francisco has a better team... it's just based on the fact that the packers need to win 4 games to win the SB the 49ers only need to win 3... and any matchup between the two teams would be in candlestick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-dawg Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I don't get all the Bronco love. Their record against playoff teams - 2 wins, 3 losseswins:@ Bengals 31-23@ Ravens 34-17losses:@ Falcons 27-21vs. Texans 31-25@ Patriots 31-21other wins:San Diego (x2)Oakland (x2)Kansas City (x2)ClevelandTampaCarolinaNew OrleansPittsburghgranted, Denver Broncos have a good defense an Peyton Manning has returned to his impressive form. If media wants to rag on Falcons resume' - then what exactly are they so jazzed about the Broncos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the Falcons as a lock to SB but I am more cautious because of those stupid injuries against TB.Broncos have more odds of going one and done. They haven't played a tougher opponent in past 11 or 12 weeks. It would be interesting to see how they respond after cheese cake schedule.

They're on an 11 game win streak, and as you pointed out, have a losing record against winning teams, which is everyone in the playoffs (at least this year it is) Edited January 3, 2013 by papachaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
