So is there a way to make a bet on this without going to Vegas ? Are the online sites legal in NC and reputable? Color me naive about betting online. .. 

They aren't legal, but you probably won't be charged for a crime.  Most of these books operate in countries that the US can't touch.  Just know the type of unscrupulous characters you are potentially giving your money to and who knows what happens with it after that.

no because the teams that are most likely to win the superbowl usually have pretty shitty odds, like 3/2, 2/1, 4/1, etc. so if you put down $3,200, you'll need a team to win with 32/1 odds or higher to make a profit. 

too late im fuged

Experience has taught me that I can do an excellent job predicting football games...as long as there's no money riding on it. The second I plunk any cash down, it's like my prognosticating ability turns to utter sh-t.

or maybe its a lot easier to forget the times you are wrong when you arent losing money on it

    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
    • Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
