The current Vegas betting lines are:

 

ATL @ NOR -3  54

SEA -3 @ CAR  45

TAM -3 @ JETS  40

 

Current Superbowl odds:

ATL 17-1

NOR 20-1

CAR 45-1  SEA 12-1

TAM 55-1  NYJ 85-1

 

The Taints are basically just given their home team advantage, so that's a pickem game.  Note the O/U is 54, with two of the strongest Offenses AND weakest Defenses in the league this year.  I'm hoping for them to top 1000 total yds, and expect them to score over 30pts each in a high flying shoot out.  Should be entertaining to watch, at least for people who can stand seeing those two teams on the field at the same time, and it seems like they are trying to induce betting with that O/U.  Good news...one of them starts 0-1.  Bad news...one of them starts 1-0.

 

The other two games have the away team favored by 3, which is significant, especially since Seattle is traveling across the country and typically plays at a lower level on the East coast.  I'm also a little surprised that we have an over/under of 45, in a game that features two of the stronger defenses in the game.  We have Superbowl odds almost 4x that of Seattle, yet are only 6pt dogs (3+3 for home field).

 

The Tampa - Jets game offers strictly comedic value, and should be interesting to keep an eye on during commercials.  The OU here at 40 is also interesting.  Makes me feel that Vegas doesn't have much faith in Tampa, which is backed up by their lowest NFCS Superbowl odds at 55-1.

 

For those who are paying attention, Eagles are also listed as 85-1 Superbowl odds.  They are a question mark...but on par with the Jets?  Ouch.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
