AFC As It Stands Now

[SeeingRed]

Vegas current AFC odds make little sense but here they are...

http://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/futures/

ODDS TO WIN 2015 AFC CHAMPIONSHIP (1/24/16)
Team Odds

New England Patriots 5/4
Pittsburgh Steelers 5/1
Cincinnati Bengals 11/2
Denver Broncos 11/2
Kansas City Chiefs 9/1
New York Jets 15/1
Houston Texans 25/1
Indianapolis Colts 1000/1

I would have it this way...

1. Pats
2. Chiefs
3. Jets
4. Bengals
5. Broncos
6. Texans
7. Steelers
8. Colts

I feel New England is the obvious top choice but that the Chiefs and Jets are the hottest teams. Cinci, Denver and Houston all have major QB issues, Steelers need help to get in and the Colts are a long shot's dream I guess at 1000 to 1

thoughts on these odds?

Edit: Nvm. Thought the date was dec, not jan.

[Halfcan]

IF Hali and Houston are both healthy- our odds go up. If not-that is probably about right.

[Toby Waller]

LOL at Pats being a top favorite.
Brady cant salvage that crap in the post season.
Their best player is a slow lumbering white guy.

these are the current odds pre denver vs cinci game

I agree. Giving H&H 8 more days to heal would be ideal.

[Coochie liquor]

I wouldn't put KC at 2 until we've beaten a better team. Last good team we beat was Dungver.

[BigMeatballDave]

I wouldn't put KC at 2 until we've beaten a better team. Last good team we beat was Dungver.Eh, maybe.
Pitt lost to the Ravens and haven't even clinched a spot yet.

[Mr. Laz]

Hali isn't getting healthy, is he?


broken thumb won't be ready for 4-6 weeks

[Coochie liquor]

Eh, maybe.
Pitt lost to the Ravens and haven't even clinched a spot yet.

True, it's very up and down for most AFC teams, but given our playoff record I'm trying not to get my hopes too high. Can't believe this team has done that to me. Hope we can break that fucking curse this year.

[BigMeatballDave]

Hali isn't getting healthy, is he?


broken thumb won't be ready for 4-6 weeks

I bet he tries to play. At least with it wrapped up.

[Rausch]

Here's to hoping Houston's on twice the HGH Manning took....

[Mav]

Pitts at 5-1 and they won't get in lmao

[Toby Waller]

Pitts at 5-1 and they won't get in lmao

yes,they will

[Mav]

yes,they will


So the jets are losing to buffalo?

[KCrockaholic]

You mean the greatest TE of this era?

[O.city]

How are the steelers that high?

[Toby Waller]

You mean the greatest TE of this era?

in the weakest parity era ever.

Edelman
McCourty
Amendola
Chung
Vollmer

All are expected back, based upon reports (getting hard and fast confirmations out of Gillette is damn near impossible). When looking at their top players in terms of game plan and game play, that will leave them with all but Lewis, Blount and Solder having returned, and Jackson looks as if he'll at least be good enough to approximate what Blount would have been able to bring to the table.

but truth is we don't know and right now they are a bit unhealthy. If they come back 100% they are clear favorite....if not the AFC is WIDE open

You are nuts if you think the Chiefs should be number 2 on that list

[displacedinMN]

I have a $20 ticket on chiefs winning the SB at 40:1.
From February.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Pitt could lose to the Browns and be eliminated and morons would still be frightened of them.

[Just Passin' By]

I hear what you're saying. I'm just noting some things that might explain the odds.

[SeeingRed]

You are nuts if you think the Chiefs should be number 2 on that list

So who should be #2 then?

[Brock]

I bet he tries to play. At least with it wrapped up.

Hali would amputate his thumb to play in a playoff game

[Three7s]

Pittsburgh having the 2nd highest odds on that list is laughable. Someone better tell Vegas they might not make the playoffs.

[SeeingRed]

s***....I should be hired by NFL.com (they mustve modeled their power rankings off of my post)

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000611849/article/nfl-power-rankings-week-17-chiefs-jets-enter-the-top-five

only difference is you can flip Bengals with Broncos since they lost the game

[Toby Waller]

So the jets are losing to buffalo?

of course

[SeeingRed]

of course

that would be typical Jets

maybe they know something :hmmm:

[SeeingRed]

Fitzpatrick being paid millions into an off shore bank account to have an interception problem sunday in buffalo :eek:

[SeeingRed]

But seriously....the Jets lost by a touchdown in New England mid season 30-23...now they won against them 26-20 winning by walk off touchdown pass in OT. They have proven they can play with New England. If they get by Buffalo its a 6 game winning streak. They could be tough

Yes,the Pats suck.

They are tough. All they needed all year was a QB and now that Mensa-beard has his $#it together they're hard to beat...

You do mean the Defending Superbowl Champion who is 12-3 right?

[Rausch]

Four of their offensive starters that were out will all be back by their first playoff game.

If you think the Pats team you saw during their rough stretch in the regular season is what you'll be in the playoffs you're hitting the pipe...

nope, they will be rusty and unprepared.

I'm annoyed by people talking about the Pats like they are Darth Vader.

its over,neither them nor the Seahawks are getting back in

its a QB driven league

[Toby Waller]

its a QB driven league

apparently not, because everyone else won without one / a starter.

and the Pats lost to 3 back up caliber QBs.

[J Diddy]

I have a $20 ticket on chiefs winning the SB at 40:1.
From February.

Just think of how dumb you're going to feel not betting $10000 when they win since you knew it all along.

I would put the Chiefs at 6 on that list, only above the Texans and Colts. Hope Im wrong but thats where I would put them right now.
