ATL -2 for 1.5% (from 6/22) -105
ATL -2.5 for .3% -113

I discussed this in the preseason thread, I think this has a decent shot at being middled ending up similary to the NYJ/SF game in week 1 last year which was very, very nice.

Keeping a close eye on SF -6.5

atx,

what does this mean now with regards to your future u placed? surely the odds will be extended on atl a little now to win superbowl.. even tho vick inj only for 6 weeks! or are the books holding shitloads of money on atl now they wont be able to raise the price that much? is there a price u could possibly see the books gettin atl out to?

seems abit rough this injury to vick.. did the surface play any part in the injury at all? i know over here we have had one of out football grounds in trouble cause of the surface.. did he get leg caught in the surface or was it just the tackle? maybe its just one of them things

well, it pretty much means that the future on ATL is sunk...

I always hope for the best...

But, I also never make a bet that I dont plan to lose.

What's funny is my future on MIN was sunk within the month that I placed it as well with injuries to the TE and RB, I believe. I don't have good luck, and I dont count on it.
 

Is that a moonbat in my sites?

That's one of the reasons I don't like to bet futures - first, you tie your money up for an extened period of time, and any catastrophic event at any time will probably end any possibilty of a return on any money you did invest.
To Bad!

Good luck to you on any other futures you might have.

I remember last year when Vick went down Doug Johnson walked into Giant Stadium and led a whooping of the New york Midgets... I think the Falcons will still be alright. I think this hinges a lot on TJ Duckett though. If he has a breakout year they will be better then OK.

21.00 at canbet for atl rite now

its not that bad in hindsight, this team is going places.. vick will be back i just hope fully recover from injury, would be a huge blow see him not come back the same

fingers crossed he does!

futures are hard, they really offer tremendous value.. i guess u have to pick and choice spots maybe just before playoffs or somfin would be best.. at least u know teams are doin certain things right and have plan b to fall back on.. and u can work out the run home ect.. where u expect them to finish(this mite not be correct,and the odds might not be as great) but still awesome value

who can forget new england losing their first few games couple year back(books extend them to 500-1 in places, 800-1 was offered somewhere too!$) and then rolling to superbowl victory as ranked outside dog!

you are all correct in your assumption that ATL still has a shot. More than anything I'm trying the ol' reverse jinx, lol.

One of the problems with this particular injury is the time it takes to fully recover. I believe McNabb had this exact same injury last year, and while he did come back and play, he was not the same player. He seemed to be at 80% full speed, and tried to avoid contact--not a good playoff mentality (yes I had PHI vs TB).

From what I've heard, this injury takes about a year to fully recover from. On a normal QB this injury isnt quite as bad from a value standpoint, when I say normal I mean a pocket-passer type. The main reason I liked the ATL future was b/c Vick provided so many intangibles. He was on his way to becoming the best player in the NFL, if he recovers fully he should be one of the best if not THE best in the next year or two. Few players are next to impossible to defend, the only way to defend Vick is to confuse him, and once he sees more defensive schemes and plays are designed to take advantage of them...his arm is extremely strong and accurate, it takes time to gel with the receiving corps and I think we would have seen his passing game really take off this year. I really just need ATL to make the playoffs for what I'm trying to do...

Oren - with your luck, you might be struck by lightening bofe the NFL regular season begins!

NYJ were my best bet of week one -- I'm amazed I didn't bet it early.

Oren,
The JETS & Falcons are still winners in week one anyway! The Jets will control the clock and game with their running game and Washington's QB has yet to do anything against a pro defense! Falcons will RISE to the occasion in Dallas and give Parcells his first league loss on his come back! Sux for him,lol!

I don't have a lot of hope for the Jets, Vinny has looked terrible as of late. Hopefully the Falcons can pull off the win and I'll go 1-1. Of course Washington could blow the game as well, but I'm not holding my breath.
