You'd think Manziel's odds would be nill, since he's not going to any team anytime soon, but then again these are the same guys that had the Panthers as 3 point underdogs against the Cowboys last season. So anything goes.

Fwiw Hardy had 12-1 odds AFTER the incident with Holder (May) and kangaroo court (July) as this article (August) proves.  Even VEGAS was fooled with the hypocritical tomfoolery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  https://www.sportsinsights.com/blog/2014-nfl-defensive-player-year-odds/

If one person put a penny on Hardy then Vegas made a penny. They weren't fooled. The fools were those who put down money.

Vegas may have made a penny, but possibly lost many pennies under that hypothesis from professional and even casual betters who saw a tilted board and avoided the board altogether.  Newton's third law of motion certainly applies to futures odds, as Hardy's spot on the board affected others, including eventual winner Watt.  Vegas DOES (usually) win in the end, but savvy bettors are constantly scouring the odds looking for value (which can be found for a variety of reasons), and the balance must constantly be kept while also trying to lure people in.

This is a basically a bet that Watt goes down with an injury before he plays work games. Anything less than that and "it just proves how valuable he is! " will fly high. 

If he doesn't play that well, it will all be about "He has changed the NFL works, (with the way team game plan against him)", "triple team" or even "quadruple team" proving he is still the winner.

Why does Star even have odds

Star will go from good to great if healthy knowing his contract is on the line.  He has the raw skills to wreck a game.  Needs luck getting the splash plays but he can stay fresh in our rotation now and may get one on one match ups just enough.  The 100-1 group is interesting and fascinating to me.

Star will not stand out on paper... But he will stand out on the field and you can bank on that... That's all that matters 

This. Star is a very good DT, but he's absolutely not the type of player who will ever be in the DPOY discussion. He's the guy in the DL who does the dirty work, he's not the guy who puts up the gaudy stats.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
