Re: Falcons 30-1 to win Super Bowl

Regardless of those 30-1 odds, though, the author of this piece seems to be pretty high on them. Sounds like he expects Vick to finally adapt to the West Coast offense in year three. Plus, he calls the receiving corps "promising" and notes that, with the addition of John Abraham, "The Falcons now have three of the top 10 sack leaders from the past five years." Would you take this team at 30-1, or is this a sucker bet?

30 to 1?..who handicaps these things?...and based on what?...Though I like the Falcons as a long shot...Their running game is good...every time I think Dunn can't carry the load he does...and if Vick ever gets done maturing this could be an intersting team to watch.

Re: Falcons 30-1 to win Super Bowl

30 to 1 is a bit extreme. I mean the obvious favorite to win the NFC is the Panthers then debatably the Bears, Cowboys, Redskins, Giants and so on but I would put them somewhere between the 'Boys and Giants on that list. I guess you can put about 5 or 6 AFC teams ahead of them as well.

Re: Don't sleep on the Atlanta Falcons and the Iowa State Cyclones

Another article handicapping the Falcons chances in 2006 here. "In the NFC South division where each of the four teams is on the upswing, Atlanta appears to be the least appreciated by the experts and the oddsmakers," writes the author. "The schedule is incredibly tough but personnel wise, the Atlanta Falcons are better than the 8-8 team oddsmakers are suggesting." So is this a team that will finish with a winning record, at least?

Cool Re: Falcons 30-1 to win Super Bowl

I wouldn't make that bet. I think the Falcons are going to be bad this year.

I just found these odds on some website, These odds are "to 100" so this corresponds with the Falcons 30-1. I would take Jacksonville at 28 1/2 to 1. The Bengals at 35 to 1 is pretty good too. In the NFC, I would think about the Eagles at 25-1. I think they're going to bounce back this year. I like Dallas but at only 13-1, I don't think it's a good value.


Indianapolis Colts +595
New England Patriots +525
Pittsburgh Steelers +1345
Cincinnati Bengals +3550
Seattle Seahawks +1245
Carolina Panthers +1215
New York Giants +2050
Baltimore Ravens +2550
Kansas City Chiefs +1645
Denver Broncos +1015
San Diego Chargers +3550
Jacksonville Jaguars +2850
Miami Dolphins +2045
Philadelphia Eagles +2550
Washington Redskins +2025
Dallas Cowboys +1315
Atlanta Falcons +3050
Tampa Bay Buccaneers +4050
Chicago Bears +1845
Minnesota Vikings +3550
Detroit Lions +8550
Green Bay Packers +7550
St Louis Rams +6050
Arizona Cardinals +3550
Cleveland Browns +8550
Oakland Raiders +8050
Tennessee Titans +11550
Houston Texans +12550
Buffalo Bills +8050
New York Jets +10550
San Francisco 49ers +14550
New Orleans Saints +6050
