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.

How are the Texans not last?

[RabidFan]

Wow, the taint knows no bounds. :)

Probably because they have won the Reggie Bush sweepstakes....(if they're smart)

[Hokie_Skinz]

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:

[Oldskool]

its all very preliminary...

No need to get underclothes in a twist yet..

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!

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.

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).

[H-O-G]

We are the underdogs once again :D This is great :).

[Lil Kenzo]

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.

[peachhaze]

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.............

[TheSchwartz]

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...

[SKINZ33]

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.:D

[redman]

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. . . .

[flippo07]

i would love to take the seahawks not to be nfl champs.... wonder what the odds would be.....

[TheSchwartz]

Well if you think the Redskins are such a good bet, I guess all of you are jumping on the 20-1 then huh???

Hey, that's fine with me. 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:

[SC3]

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.

[hokie4redskins]

I love being underestimated. Here's to Dr. Z picking us to win 4 games again this year.

:cheers:

I'll drink to that. :2drunks:

[supersmartbrunell5]

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...

[andyburd]

20-1, hmm, I'll go $100 on that. what the hell

[NOVA2Tampa]

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:

[Ajokah]

I understand its the offseason, but this is stupid. We havent even started the free agent market and there are odds out on next year. This is by far the stupidest thing Ive seen on any sports website. That and the Redskins.com update on our practice field conditions. :doh:

The only thing I hat about it is that alot of the teams they got ahead of us will have major changes done due to free agency.:doh:

[clubisyohankovic]

I would say that the Eagles have as good a chance as anyone else in the division to go to the Super Bowl. I think they will bounce back next season.

[LaVarIsDaMan]

20-1, hmm, I'll go $100 on that. what the hell

agreed. maybe even $250...

whats the payback on $250? $5000?? count me in.

[kevinklein]

I can understand why people might put the Bucs and the Giants in front of us...both look promising on paper...but the Cowboys? Come on.

[peachhaze]

I would say that the Eagles have as good a chance as anyone else in the division to go to the Super Bowl. I think they will bounce back next season.


Eagles will go around go 8-8. Won't win the division. QB coming off an injury, old defense, questions at RB, no power runner, and no real WR that teams are afraid of.

I still don't know how anyone respects the Cowboys next season. Questions at QB, no RB to speak of, coach did not commit to team immediately after the season..........

hmmmmmmmmm

[cheeks]

just to let u know we are still the washington redskins.......we could have won the super bowl this year an they would still have us ranked where we are no respect no matter what an it doesnt bother me cus the teams/people that say we suck we beat i like us shocking people less banwagon effect

[Ellis]

Well, our odds were 22/1 not too long ago so it's better now.
