wow.

How funny would it be for the 49ers to go back to the SB and get their asses beat by the Ravens again...

It could happen but Defense usually wins and the 49ers are a superior defense.

The Ravens weren't #1 in total defense in 2000, but they were definitely the best that year (and one of the best all-time). I'm pretty sure the Steelers were a superior defense in all the 70's SB wins (not just '74).

Just picking the 8 that were #1 in total defense doesn't tell the whole story.

I disagree. I think they are the most vulnerable they've been in a long time.

I would agree with you actually. But then I remember back to almost the same time last year with people thinking the same thing including myself. And the Pats end up winning the Superbowl. :noidea:

The season still has a way to go.

Well...if the prior year dictates how they do in the current year, then they'll be great forever. :suds:

Besides your Ravens, who's gonna beat them ? Chances are barring any major injuries of course, it's looking like a Ravens Pats AFC title game....

Regular season? They could lose the next two.

Playoffs? KC is a scary team for anyone.

Miami can make the playoffs at 7-9 if they won their last 5 games and crazy stuff happened?

Wow.

How the Hell do the Cowboys have the 7th lowest odds? I'm a dreamer who hopes for the best and all, but that's crazy :scratch:

KC is good, but they haven't been super consistent on defense... I just don't think overall they're as good as the Pats or Ravens.... Playoff are the playoffs though, upsets do happen...

I agree, but they can out score anyone with Mahomes and those weapons. NE’s offense is as weak as it’s been in a long time. I’m not trying to disrespect them. I’m just not as scared of them as I’ve been in the past.

It shows they know how to do it.. It's just too early to count out the Pats from a Superbowl appearance. That's all.

But I would "rank" the Ravens #1 right now too. They are on fire.

The Ravens probably stand the best chance at even winning in NE in January. Houston and KC could also do it if their offense can overcome NE's defense or play not to turn the ball over. NE's running game is even struggling and that's crucial to go with a good defense.

No, I was asking what "+300" would pay on a $100 bet. So your saying it basically means 3 to 1 odds and therefore would pay $300? I guess that makes sense, but why doesn't Vegas just use "3 to 1" instead of "+300"?
I think he is wrong. (but dont bet on it LOL)
I think +300
On a 100 bet, you would win 200.
Of course I am not a bettor either.
I only do it here on the hoop.
So I know if I bet 1100 on a +191 bet I win 1000.

but you might ask our sites oddsmaker for a real answer LOL

Thanks, but to be honest this part: "So I know if I bet 1100 on a +191 bet I win 1000", confused the shit out of me. That makes no sense to me what so ever.
