i wouldnt write them off bc like it was mentioned above they are loaded with talent....they would have to come together like the nyg did last year and have the stars aligned but its not that far fetched...id want better than 20-1 though...i think if you did continue to just ML them game after game it would pay more than 20-1.....
what irks me is neither the chargers nor the broncos actually DESERVE to be in the playoffs over my patriots...but such are the rules....

in august they were considered 'one of the most talented teams in the nfl'.
now it's december.
the defense is shitty and injured. LT is playing nothing like LT. and at the end of the day, they have a man who trumps everything.. NORV turner. what afc teams are SO much better than them? well, the titans, steelers, colts and ravens. if they do get in, they won't beat the colts. and then they'd have to beat both the steelers and titans on the road? please. and they're RED hot? by beating the chiefs and raiders and a 'meh' bucs team? come on brah, act like you've watched football before.
:howdy:Hello my friends...
Those wagering on the Bolts now to win the Super Bowl are definately getting the better of it with regard to what the opening odds were, below is what the odds were on the contenders back in May...
Take care and be well my friends

Odds of winning AFC Championship
May 2nd, 2008
With the NFL Draft taking place this past weekend, the aroma of NFL football is back in the air once again and although it will be approximately four months before the 2008 NFL regular season gets underway, wise NFL bettors know that it’s never too early to begin in their preparation for another exciting NFL wagering season in either, the BetUS Locker Room or BetUS Sportsbook.
With that in mind, this article will look at the early 2009 NFL Betting Odds to win the AFC Championship while providing a brief comment about each team’s realistic chances of actually winning the conference title.
Odds To win the 2009 AFC Championship
In A League of Their Own: This group of AFC teams not only represents the best group of teams In the AFC, but in my estimation, all of football and the three best bets to win Super Bowl XLIII in early 2009.
New England Patriots +150
Despite their colossal collapse in 2007 the Patriots could find themselves in a familiar place come season’s end – in the Super Bowl. The fact of the matter is that, as long as Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are in New England together, the Patriots will be legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
San Diego Chargers +450
The Chargers played the Patriots in the AFC title game with their three best players, running back LaDainian Tomlinson, tight end Antonio Gates and quarterback Philip Rivers, all suffering injuries to some degree or another. This team could be back in the AFC title games next year easily.
Indianapolis Colts +500
Simply put, the combination of Peyton Manning and Tony Dungy will give this team a legitimate shot to reach the big dance every year they are joined at the hip, which, unfortunately, may not be much longer.
Legitimate Contenders: These teams are hovering on the fringes of the conference’s elite teams and could genuinely reach Super Bowl XLIII.
Jacksonville Jaguars +850
The Jaguars are approaching the elite class mentioned above and are almost there. The upcoming 2008 season could be the one that puts them in their first Super Bowl after years of being bridesmaid.
Pittsburgh Steelers +1200
The Pittsburgh Steelers had a fine season in head coach Mike Tomlin’s first season, winning the AFC North with a 10-6 record and could be even better in 2008 with another year of experience for Tomlin. If the Steelers can keep their star players healthy while getting some improved contributions from their younger players, the Steelers could contend for more than just a division title.
Cleveland Browns +1600
After years of Oh, Romeo, wherefore art thou? Cleveland Browns likable head coach Romeo Crennel and his young Cleveland Browns team finally answered the bell in a big way, shocking the entire NFL while recording a solid 10-6 record. With an even better supporting cast in 2008 and a new attitude that hasn’t been seen in Cleveland since Jim Brown was lacing up his cleats, the Browns could surprise even more in 2008.
Tennessee Titans +2000
While the Titans have one of the best coaches in the league in veteran leader Jeff Fisher, this team needs to surround quarterback Vince Young with some more talent on the offensive side of the ball if they ever expect to move into the class of the AFC’s elite teams. If the Titans can improve on offense, Young could carry this team to something meaningful.
Denver Broncos +2200
The Denver Broncos were I big disappointment last season, going just 7-9 and missing out on the playoffs altogether. To simplify the Broncos’ situation, they will need young quarterback Jay Cutler to look more like the player he was in his rookie season than the one who took the field last season and floundered all season long.
Not Gonna’ Happen: This group of teams has absolutely no chance whatsoever of winning the NFC title in 2008 or at any point in the foreseeable future.
Buffalo Bills +4500
Cincinnati Bengals +2200
It’s a damn shame that all the hard work head coach Marvin Lewis has put into turning this franchise around is suddenly going up in smoke because of the team’s multiple ‘head case’ players, including All-Pro wideout Chad Johnson who has already gone on record to say he wants out. If the Bengals see eight wins in 2008, I’ll be surprised to say the least.
Baltimore Ravens +2500
No Air McNair may means no hope, at least on offense for the Ravens in 2008. Still, the Ravens will field another powerful defense next season.
Houston Texans +3000
This franchise is improving on both sides of the ball under head coach Gary Kubiak but they’ve still got quite a way to go. Still, the Texans’ 8-8 record last season was a step in the right direction and could lead to much bigger things in the very near future, like 2009 possibly.
New York Jets +6000
The Jets took a big step backwards last season under head coach Eric Mangini, falling to 4-12 just one season after going 10-6 in Mangini’s first season at the helm. While I like the Jets to improve significantly this season if they can get some solid play at quarterback, the Jets likely won’t win more than eight games tops.
Miami Dolphins +6600
The best thing that could have happened to the beleaguered Dolphins franchise is that they went 1-15 and were forced to bring in someone that actually knew what they were doing in new director of football operations, Bill Parcells. The ‘Fins will be back, but it will take a couple of seasons at least.
Kansas City Chiefs +6600
The Chiefs are a total mess and I’m going on record right now to say that this will almost assuredly be head coach Herman Edwards’ last season at the helm unless this franchise can pump out at least eight wins, which isn’t going to happen people.
Oakland Raiders +10000
While the Raiders may not be ready to compete for anything more than an 8-8 record, they do have some talent on the roster and could be a bit closer to getting back to respectability than most people think.

:howdy:Hello ParadisePete2...
Those that placed a futures wager on San Diego prior the start of the season to win the Super Bowl got payback odds of 10 to 1, here we are entering the final week of the regular season and the Bolts odds of winning the big game is now 25 to 1...
...needless to say those placing a Super Bowl futures wager on San Diego now are actually getting 2.5 times the value over the poor sap that plunked down their cash on SD prior to the start of the regular season.
In terms of sheer value it might be a good idea to slap down $100 on the Bolts to win $2500, however, in the big picture I just don't know if I want to conceivably toss that dinero in the waste basket by betting on ole Norv Turner to get the job done...
...in my humble opinion if San Diego gets by Denver this week and by some chance makes it to the big game, they will be doing so IN SPITE OF the idiot wearing the headset and calling the shots.
Take care and be well my friend

SB all AFC
Indy +1215
San Diego +2050
Pitt +605
All from the Greek currently. Two underachieving teams (that have their best football in front of them) and Pittsburgh who won't lose to Tennessee if they meet again. I think Pittsburgh will win the whole thing.

That's a little better, about a 24% hold overall. Still a lot of juice. For comparison, the hold on a regular -110 play is 4.55%.
For what it's worth, these prices would be not quite break-even:
1 New England Patriots +2700
2 New York Jets +8000
3 Miami Dolphins +4700
4 Baltimore Ravens +2000
5 Pittsburgh Steelers +630
6 Indianapolis Colts +950
7 Tennessee Titans +690
8 San Diego Chargers +3600
9 Denver Broncos +8600
10 Dallas Cowboys +2000
11 Philadelphia Eagles +10000
12 New York Giants +345
13 Washington Redskins +19000
14 Chicago Bears +8600
15 Minnesota Vikings +3600
16 Carolina Panthers +950
17 Atlanta Falcons +1800
18 Tampa Bay Buccaneers +5500
19 Arizona Cardinals +5500
Those prices don't say anything about an individual team. Obviously any one of them could be relatively wrong. All I did was scale up the original prices until it was close to break-even.
