Let's hope Vegas odds are accurate!

Out of curiosity, I just checked out the Vegas point spreads for games through week 16 posted today at ESPN.

http://espn.go.com/chalk/story/_/id/15877927/nfl-full-spreads-weeks-1-16-all-32-nfl-teams

If my quick tallies are accurate, Vegas predicts:

Panthers to go 13-2 (losses to Denver & Seattle)

Atlanta to go 3-11 with 1 game being a pick  - WOW.

New Orleans and Tampa Bay to each go 4-9 with two games each being picks.

I'd take it!


Seattle is at 12-3 (losses to NE, AZ, GB)

The Arizona page is messed up a bit, but I think they also are predicted at 12-3 (losses to Panthers, Vikings, Seattle)

BUT:  Packers look to be the NFC favorites through week 16, with 14 wins, no losses and 1 pick (against the Vikings)

Minnesota comes in at 12 - 2 with 1 pick.  (losses to Panthers, and Green Bay;  Pick with Green Bay)

I'd bet good money that there aren't 4 NFC teams with 12+ wins. 

Actually, you'd be betting that there aren't FIVE NFC teams with 12+ wins, since Panthers, Packers, Vikings, Seattle, AZ are all currently predicted to have at least 12 wins out of only 15 games played.  Week 17 isn't listed yet.

Amazing.

I've not looked at totals for any of the AFC teams yet.

I think he's saying there aren't going to be more than 3, i.e., the o/u is 3.5

Anywho . . . it may be arrogant, but right now idc about records because I think we're in the playoffs.  I just hope for everyone to be healthy, and be ready to push for that home field throughout!

Again...Vegas lines are NOT anyone's prediction of who will win the game.  They are an indication of the points expected to be needed to get even betting on both teams.

True.  My bad.  As will be obvious, I don't gamble - at least not through Vegas, I've been known to do some "friendly wagers" with family -  so forgive me for interpreting these projected point spreads incorrectly!

    • We don't have to tear down Dak to appreciate what Bryce did yesterday. Dak had 0 running game. If the cowboys were better, he'd be a legit MVP candidate if he keeps playing this way.  They did it with Ceedee last year, but they do a better job of anybody we play consistently of getting their best receiver off Jaycee.  Bryce was good too. If we just catch the ball that was intercepted, we probably win by 7+, and Bryce goes over 200 yards passing.  Biggest shift the last few weeks has been play calling. I thought Canales abandoned the run game way to early at times last year. This year he really seems to be sticking with it.  I still think Chuba is better at making 4 yards when there's nothing there, but Rico is better at making 30 yards when there's 6 there. I like the direction. Hopefully we can get Moton, Sanders and Coker back and really be dangerous. Our play action game is pretty deadly right now.  Unrelated: My favorite quality about Bryce right now is his ability to see the defensive hold and throw the ball there. He EXPOSES the officials when they don't call it. That one on Tetaroia yesterday late in the game was a bad miss on their part. 
    • That sacks allowed number lookin juicy!  
    • This is a game the Panthers should win... just the sort of game they lose. The Panthers have a bad habit that goes back years of playing down to the competition's level only to mess around and lose the game. The Jets game should be taken very seriously! But I want to enjoy the fact that they beat the Cowboys for at least another day or so!
