ST Poll: Going to Vegas, need to narrow down who to bet on to win the SB

Posted by flavorize (aka flavorize) Sep 6 '10, 19:49

Forgetting the top odds teams (that wouldn't pay as much: Colts, Packers, Cowboys, Ravens, and Saints).
I've narrowed it down to 6:
(Choose the best one, in your opinion, to bet on)

Chargers: 11-1
Vikings: 14-1
49ers: 28-1
Jets: 14.5-1
Dolphions: 38-1
Bengals: 29-1

Or am I just being a dumb ass/sucker for ignoring the top 5 teams? FWIW...I'd probably pick the Packers out of that group, but I want to win some real dough.

Responses:

who are the "them? Really, them?" teams to win the Super Bowl in the last little while? - Reagen Sep 6, 20:01 11
- Tampa? -- nm - Roger More Sep 6, 20:08
- Depending on your criteria, New Orleans and the Giants. -- nm - David Sep 6, 20:05 6
  - my criteria would be teams that, going into the season, would inspire laughter as a choice for a SB winner. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 20:06 5
    - I believe that the Saints were double-digit long shots last pre-season, no? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 6, 21:05 1
      - Old odds are tough to find. They go down the memory hole for good reason (for the sportsbooks) -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 21:09
    - Who would be that team (that could pull it off this year)? Redskins? Bears? - flavorize Sep 6, 20:12 1
      - I'd be a lot more likely to bet on the Redskins than the Jets. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 20:17
    - I think it's a hard thing to quantify since opinions vary. - David Sep 6, 20:11
- Giants -- nm - safety sam Sep 6, 20:05 1
  - only because of their opponent. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 20:06
- Ravens caught me by surprise. Never looked twice at the Giants (in the beginning), the year they won. -- nm - flavorize Sep 6, 20:05
Vikings but only if the festering corpse of Brett Favre survives that long. -- nm - David Sep 6, 19:58 1
- I bet on the Vikings, as one of my teams, the last two years. This year, my Farve hatey is holding me back -- nm - flavorize Sep 6, 20:07
I think it will be the Packers year -- nm - amoxy Sep 6, 19:57
Chargers is the only team out of that group I'd bother with. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 19:53 3
- If it were a bet on making the playoffs, I'd agree. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 6, 20:36
- I'd agree. I think the 49er's are a year away -- nm - amoxy Sep 6, 19:55 1
  - Originally, I was thinking of doing two bets, one AFC and one NFC. Will makes a great point about Sanchez, I feel the same way about A. Smith -- nm - flavorize Sep 6, 20:02
Bengals are a good longshot. Good defense, Decent offense. Could get hot late. Chargers would be my next choice for a safer pick. -- nm - I'm Bacon Sep 6, 19:50 3
- Bengals are intriguing. Palmer has to stay healthy -- nm - flavorize Sep 6, 19:56 2
  - 29-1 odds is a good bet on them. -- nm - I'm Bacon Sep 6, 19:57 1
    - Very true. Definitely appealing odds -- nm - flavorize Sep 6, 20:07
Jets at gunpoint maybe, but all six feel like throwing your money away. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 19:50 3
- I really like the schedules of the 49ers and Bolts. The talent of the Vikes and Jets, and the "What if" sleeperness of the other two. - flavorize Sep 6, 19:53 2
  - Schedule means nothing on SB bets. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 6, 20:28
  - Maybe I'm crazy, but I am loving the Jets hype this year. - Will Hunting Sep 6, 19:55
Bengals -- nm - Dano Sep 6, 19:50 1
- Excellent! -- nm - flavorize Sep 6, 19:55
