No Sorry, I don't get your point. Picking a team at the start of the season is totally different from picking one at the start of the playoffs (unless it's completely apparent that a team has absolutely nothing like the Niners this year). The value comes from being able to get them at the start of the season...not when the playoffs start. Yes, I hope you're right about Seattle because I was stupid enough to take them at the start of the year, but being they haven't won a single meaningful game this year and almost lost to a bunch of scrubs in their most important game of the season against Atlanta, I find it hard to imagine anyone talking about them being a "value" play. The only reason I think they will win this weekend is because it's pretty tough for a team to lose 3 times to the same team in a year. But betting on them to go beyond that is just throwing away money. No value here, just a team that has no character, a coach that rode the coat tail of Brett Favre, and a reputation that has been completely overated the entire year. But hey, it's your money (do what you want).
