Your poll shows fear and anger. Come back from the darkness and dwell in the light that emanates from the Green Bay Packers, the world’s favorite football team.

I apologize. Packers were the next team listed after the Rams.

I sure hope the Steeler's do NOT get Aaron Rodgers.

Market not great. Seems it's him or another round of Russ' cooking. Both should retire but that's why they won't.

Ow

 

[MrSquished]

If the Giants sign Rodgers I'm rooting against them this year.

 

[Chaotic42]

Not sure I can be a Saints fan anymore, so this season may feel especially hollow.

 

[manly]

Niners +1500 seems rather optimistic lol

What do the numbers mean anyway?

What do the numbers mean anyway?

They are betting odds, presented in the American style (I think). Take the Eagles +650.

That means if you wager $100 on the Eagles to win the Super Bowl, and they win the SB, you will receive $650.
Net profit of $550. (For all other teams, the potential profit on the bet is even higher.)

Detailed explanation here as it pertains to single game bets:

Money Line Bet: What It Means and How It Works

A money line bet tries to pick the winner of a competition. This is one of the simplest wagers in sports betting, and payouts take into account the odds of winning.

If you place your bet today at +650, is that payoff locked in or does it change as the season goes on?

 

[jpiniero]

If you place your bet today at +650, is that payoff locked in or does it change as the season goes on?

Yes and the odds would change for new bets as the year goes on.

It stays the same. The bet is from this point in time. The betting odds can and do change throughout the season, though.

Poor Bills

Bills' Ogunjobi, Hoecht banned 6 games for PEDs

The Buffalo Bills will be without two of their free agent additions -- defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi and defensive end Michael Hoecht -- for the first six games of the season due to testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs.

Wow that's insane $ for non-QBs. Good for them. I was really hoping we'd take a swing at Tee but we can't afford crap right now lol

imo it's beyond stupid to pay two wr's that much combined money when you have a great qb and many holes on defence, but alas i'm not a GM and only a fan so what do i know

 

[JujuFish]

Cincy had the 11th highest defensive spending last season, for all the good that did them.
