Excuse my ignorance but I don't know anything about vegas betting.  Can someone explain the numbers?  Every number is a negative.  At face value it looks like we are going to lose all of our games. ??

 

The team with the -3 (or whatever number) next to it means that team is favored to win by 3 points. So, for example if the Panthers are -3 favorites over the Bucs, the Panthers are basically starting 3 points in the hole in terms of you winning the bet....meaning the Panthers would have to win by 4 or more points for you to win your bet.

If the Panthers are -3, and they win by 3, that is called a push and you would get your bet back. If the Panthers win by less than 3, that means the Bucs "covered", and you would lose your bet. Having a little money on games makes them much more stressful. For example, the game might be over for all intents and purposes, but you still need to sweat it till the last second.

For example, if the Panthers are -3 and up by 9 with 10 seconds left, the game is basically over. BUT, if the Bucs are driving against the Panthers prevent defense, you're hoping they don't score 7 point to pull a "backdoor cover". Those are the worst/best depending on what side you're on.

 

Also, as always with Vegas odds, Vegas is not making a prediction. All Vegas cares about is making money, and their job is to pick a number that will have equal bets for the favorite and the underdog.

Vegas numbers are just there to try to get equal betting on both teams. In the first game, the Panthers are -4.5 so they're giving 4.5 points to the niners. That means if the Panthers win by 5, they cover and people that bet on the Panthers win. If they lose or win by 1-4, they didn't cover and people that bet on the niners win

That makes sense.  Thanks!

After last years debacle, I'd be happy if we could finish above .500. So, 9-7 would do that and set us up for an opportunity to finally reach consecutive winning seasons in 2018, something this franchise has surprisingly never achieved. 

Still, even that would be a little disappointing after the good offseason we've had. If we could hit 10 wins I think I'd be a bit more optimistic about the future. But, 10 wins isn't a guarantee to make the playoffs in the NFC this year. NE is the top team in the league, but from the top to bottom I think the NFC is a tougher conference.

Last year's prediction was 12-4.

 

Just sayin'

 

 

I'll just add this for entertainment value

"Carolina Panthers: 12-4. It would be crazy to think the Panthers will flirt with another undefeated season as they did a year ago in going 15-1. It would be crazier to think they will lose more than four games with the bulk of the team that won the NFC Championship back. The overall schedule is harder with rematches against each of their three playoff opponents (Seattle, Arizona, Denver) and a franchise-record five prime-time games. But the rest of the NFC South remains in a rebuilding mode, so a fourth consecutive division title seems in order. -- David Newton"

      Reviewing the All-22: Week 1 @ JAX

      By Basbear · Posted

      Evero had me fouled about being one of best upcoming DCs. Im giving him until week 6 to show why he should last. If not for the LONG-TIME coverage skills of a healthy horn and MJ, its ultra scary to think they could be worst than giving up the most points in NFL history.

      Bryce Young is a problem — what would you do if you were Dan Morgan?

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      If I'm Dan Morgan I stick with the plan because one step back doesn't erase all the progress that Bryce made last season.  That was a total team loss and Bryce shoulders most of the blame because he's the QB and people are emotional. The Huddle would blame a one legged man for losing a kicking contest. Fans don't want to build a team.  They want one already built and winning from the jump. After the crime scene of Bryce's first year Tepper cleaned house and got his offensive coach who has a history of building QB's.  Dave had the nuts to bench a #1 overall QB in order to help him.  I agreed at the time that if the first 2 games of last year were what Bryce is, then drafting him will go down as the worst in NFL history. Everyone is doing exactly what they did last year when Bryce was benched.  Freak out.  Calls to cut him.  Sky is falling.  But when Bryce started playing better, and some games at a very high level, people started chopping up that plateful of crow.  Then the whole team craps the bed in the first game of the year and all those same people double down. Dave and the coaching staff had a plan to reset him and bring him back.  They did.  He not only played better but played a lot better.  I've always said that as long as Bryce is making progress and getting better, you don't pull the plug.  Think of it like a stock.  It's not going up in a straight line.   Some of ya'll bring shame to our motto.  Dan, Bryce and the rest of the team need to do what they've been doing all of last year.  Building, getting better. If I was Dan, I'd keep pounding.
