I also made three separate Super Bowl bets after each of our last three losses and because the price just kept going up in a good way. Now I’m sitting at I think a +800, +1100, and +1400.

Yeah, it's pretty mind boggling that who you play is largely lost on a football message board... of course, it's largely lost on the sports media, because it's their job to make every week exciting, but damn.
Play teams that score 30+/game, your defense isn't going to look great; schedule evens out, so does the defense... and even with the 250 rushing yards and so forth, they weren't even trending to be the worst defense in the league at any point of the season, yet the narrative was "historically bad".
