Who do you guys like here of the teams getting 10-1 or more odds?

Best game on TV yesterday was 49ers versus the Chiefs. Thought the Chiefs could upset but that was a tall task on the road. Came down to the last drive. Even though they lost yesterday close, I think the Chiefs are to be reckon with as a long shot. They're a complete team. Smith could have been sharper yesterday.

Giants - They've strung together a couple of wins. Came from behind to beat Atlanta yesterday by 10. One of the hardest teams to figure out. But can show up to beat anyone on any given Sunday.

Arizona- Can't say I've followed them at all, but their record speaks for itself.

San Diego - Rivers has been playing well. Not sure how strong their defense is after ranking near last in the league last year.

Green Bay - Gotta put GB here just because of how Rodgers has been on fire the last two weeks.

I think you are throwing your money away on NYG and AZ. GB and SD are definitely worth a shot.

Yesterday proved yet again never lay a wager on Marvin Lewis in a big game.

I hate Cincinatti. Every time I put money on them they lose or don't cover. They just suck in the big games. Can't win a playoff game and can't win big games during the regular season.

KC is 75 to 1 to win the Superbowl this week. Buffalo also 75 - 1. These odds are too good to be true for two sleepers.

KC is a better team than San Fran, which is getting 12 - 1 odds. Chiefs should have beat 49ers last week, if not for a bonehead 12 men on the field penalty against KC on a 4th and short. 49ers were punting so KC would have gotten the ball back down 5 with 4 minutes left, instead of with two minutes left as the game turned out.

Lot of value for KC especially. Really impressed me against San Fran, even though they lost.

By the way, had San Diego last year to win the Superbowl at 66 - 1. Had they won the close AFC division game against Denver, they were in the Superbowl.

And then had they beaten Seattle, you would have won your bet. And had you made that bet when they were 150-1 you would have won even more money hypothetically. You could have invested those returns in a small medical company developing an ebola vaccine. They could have created it, and the shares could have multiplied four hundred fold. Then they get bought out by Pfizer and you convert half your stocks and sell the rest, investing in the lucrative commercial real estate market of Rosemont. Five months after buying an empty lot, the Ricketts take up the city's offer to move there, and start plans to construct a stadium right next to your lot! The price of the lot multiplies twenty fold overnight. Then a tree next to your house gets hit by lightning, falls through your bedroom, onto your bed where you are sleeping and you died. But your heirs often think of you fondly.

That's funny. I did win with Medal Count to show in the Belmont at 7 - 1.

I'm going with the NFC North, Chicago and GB to win. Couple bucks on each.

GB is 11 -1.

CHI is 33 -1.

Black and Blue all the way.

Since only one of my original choices, GB, has any chance at the Superbowl, I added K.C. and MIA this week as long shots.

The PATS are really rolling and I will add them too. The only one who's going to beat them is Denver, a matchup which we'll see soon. PATS are 9-1 to win the Superbowl, which I think are good odds for any NFL favorite.

AFC looks like it will dominate the NFC this year, whichever team it is. Who's better than Green Bay in the NFC? Can't be Dallas or the 49ers. Not Arizona either with Carson Palmer. Seattle not dominating like it did last year.
