Super Bowl ODDS Sleepers

But my favorite pick here is the Panthers. They're the last team before the odds go over the hundo cliff and at 66-1 they offer tremendous value. There are certainly concerns; the secondary could be a major problem and the offensive line is secretly kind of a nightmare. But they've got one of the best linebackers in the NFL (and my pick for Defensive Player of the Year) in Luke Kuechly, the addition of Kawaan Short and Star Lotulelei to beef up the defensive line and the presence of Cam Newton under center.

I don't think the Panthers ultimately end up paying that bet off for you. But they can win their division; any of the four teams there could ultimately steal the NFC South. If Carolina does that they just need their quarterback to get hot. Assuming Cam plays the way I expect in 2013, it's entirely possible they could pull it off. A longshot, yes, but that's what we're doing here anyway.

 

 

Damn skippy! Seahawks can shove their 17-2 odds up their arse

Definitely...if our young studs develop quickly....the secondary plays at or above average...our o-line play is serviceable...and Cam takes that next proverbial step we can absolutely make the playoffs. And if Cam is playing with alot of confidence heading into the playoffs I don't think the moment will be to big for him or our team and we can make a serious run.

    • Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.
    • Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.
    • The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
