Title: Vegas odds on the Dolphins
Post by: CF DolFan on May 02, 2017, 04:44:04 pm
It's a tough schedule for sure but Vegas sure doesn't think much of the Dolphins' chances this year. They only have 4 AFC teams graded worse and 7 teams overall. The thought process being they were outscored and beat heavily on the ground last year and Vegas doesn't see the Dolphins sneaking up anyone this year.

What are your thoughts? If you think 8-8 is a given then you might need to run to place your bet before things change.

I think that is a bit low.  Not extremely low as i would set it at 8.5.

The three bets i like best in order. Falcons under, saints over, dolphins over.

Jets under is a lock. No QB, no WRs, no o-line

I've got a beer bet with a friend that says that SF shocks the world and gets to 8-8 this season (Yes, with Brian Fucking Hoyer at QB)...so I definitely think they'll exceed the 4.5 projected here.

I also think Miami beating that 7.5 mark is a lock.

If the Jets win more than 3 games this season, I'll be shocked.

I can't say I would be shocked if 49rs have the best record improvement 16 to 17 seasons.  Somehow I overlooked them when I posted.  My 4 best bets are Falcons under, 49rs over, Saints over, dolphins over.  Jets under could be a good bet as well

I feel the Bills are pretty low. They have a decent amount of talent and Ryan was just screwing it all up. Now you have Watkins in a free agent year and they should at least hit 8 wins. 10 with some lucky bounces.

Questionable how Watkins will perform.  The Bills declined his 5th year option yesterday, due to his having a string of injuries over the past few seasons.  So does he coast through the year trying to stay healthy, or does he go all out trying to get the big bucks next year?

He's going to set the league on fire. It's funny how "healthy" people can be during a contract year.

Buffalo has no weapons in the passing game at all. Tyrod Taylor is really overrated. I also think their new head coach is a bit of a dummy.

Happens in every sport. I'm banking on a monster year. While Taylor is severely overrated and more of a "on paper he's good" type of guy, he throws a solid deep ball and that is Watkins specialty.

Buffalo was still right to decline that option.

Were it me, I would be pretty salty if I lost a bunch of money because I didn't think the Jets could get to 6-10.

NEP is now at 12.5.  Even this resident troll thinks that is a bit high.

They definitely can go 13-3, but that is still really high.
