I'm guessing you like the bears? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

The only one I really like is Buffalo Bills under 7.5 wins(+120)

I like the Dolphins bet, and he colts over chiefs

I don't like the most wins under 13.5 for the odds you're getting.

I live in Chicago, am a die-hard Bears fan, and must say that Bears bet is bad.

Unproven QB with no Left tackle in a divisision with the Vikes and Packers not to mention the most improved team, the Lions. 10-1 isn't enough.

I hate the Bears bet. I also hate the Vikings bet. They will roll over this division.

I like the Dolphins bet...this will be a bad year for the 'Phins.

I hope you didn't bet the house on this one. Vikings will finish 12-4, book it.

I like the last four bets. No Vikes, No Bucs, Bills under 7.5, and Fish under 8. Those look good imo.

I'm not a fan(Redskins/Ravens fan) but I do think that they're in for a good season.....They've got the RB they wanted, their o-line is tremendously improved, according to them they like Grossman at QB a lot(enough that they didn't pursue Warner, Brunell, or Collins). Oh yeah...and the last season where they actually played a home game, they were 13-3(2 years ago).

the Lions the most improved? Why because they've add a rookie WR and RB? I think teams like Jacksonville, Washington, or CHICAGO stand a much better chance at big improvements.

I think its about a 50/50 shot. They barely missed last year, and that could leave a bad taste in their mouths. 2 of their 3 RBs are injured which could obviously hurt their ground attack a lot. Since I viewed it as 50/50, I took the bet with those odds.
