If Zac Taylor runs the LSU/Saints offense (or something close), then I think they are close a lock to win 9 games.


I'll have what you're smoking. I'm not sure if even Mahomes could have won 10 games with that team last year.

Would be great for JB, but their OL is one of the worst, so bad bet imo.

They’re in a really tough division.


AFC north was the worst division in the conference last year and 2nd worst overall.

A healthy Roethlisberger changes that equation by a lot.

Chargers

@ Dolphins
Cowboys
Steelers
@ Texans
Ravens

Not sure where you're finding 10 wins.

7-9 Would be a great season.

A 38 yr old QB changes an entire division? They went 8-8 last year and finished 2nd. How much better does the division get with him playing, assuming he is healthy?

Probably 10-6. They lost 4 games by 6 or less. I'm assuming they win at least 2/4 with a QB upgrade. Rudolph wasn't good.

Even if you give Pitt two more wins and assume those wins come outside the division, it doesn’t not elevate the entire AFC North. Ravens were great last year and the rest of the division was crap.

If you have money to just throw out there that you don’t care about, why not?

A Ravens/Steelers AFCCG this season is not a totally outrageous idea. The Steelers had an amazing defense last year and would have been a really tough out in the playoffs with a healthy Ben.

because of the Bengals

Baltimore was 14-2. the Steelers without a decent QB were 8-8 and in contention for a playoff spot

7:1 in a division with the Ravens and 2 potential resurgent teams?

Steelers are the best bet, esp b/c they're Andercursed

Odds should be higher for the Bengals.

Yes because the Bengals were so bad. Ravens, Steelers, and Browns could have all won 10+ last year and the division would still be bad because the Bengals were the worst team in the NFL

sense, sure. But the +675 bet is to make the playoff (14 teams in this year) not win the Super Bowl.

And I will likely throw 10 or 20 at the Super Bowl win as well at 200 to 1.


Send me your money. Ill give you +1000 playoffs and 300 to 1 superbowl

I think their lines and secondary put a ceilng on this team. They could be competitive, but I don’t see them winning 10 games.

Absolutely shite bet.

That team is awful. Relying on a rookie QB to go to the playoffs after having the worst season record the previous year...hard pass
