Hopefully it's the Saints vs Packers in the NFC Championship game. 2 teams that couldn't quite get over the hump and get to the Super Bowl the last 9 seasons despite having very good teams almost every year.
2 first ballot HOF QB's square off for the chance to add one more title to their resume. Sign me up to watch that.
My power rankings have GB vs Pits, but it's still tight and could change, but if I were betting futures those are the 2 teams I would take.
You have Pittsburgh ahead of KC? Interesting.
I think KC is the all around better team, but could see the Steelers knocking them out of the playoffs. Reid has a history of choking in the playoffs and it will take a great defense to slow KC down and knock them out. Pittsburgh obviously has the defense to do it.
I base my power rankings on ROI. I think KC and the Saints would be favorites in their respective conferences against these two teams, but not big enough favorites to make a future bet on them worth while to overcome the odds.
Gotcha. So basically power rankings mixed with the current value of the future bet. Unless Im misunderstanding.
Hard to win a game you won’t be playing in. Ditto for Saints fans who think their team will there too.
That's not how it works though. You can still lock in a profit if you get 80-1 and make the playoffs, and 8-1 if you get close to winning it. Taking 2 to 1 on a team like KC ... you might as well just parlay up all the moneylines going all in after every win.
