If the odds are similar for winning the division, it would be worth the long shot. As far as the Super Bowl, even a $25 bet would be throwing away an hour worth of work for me so I personally would have to pass.
FWIW I really like the Steelers at 33/1.
I like the Falcons at 25/1 and the Cowboys at 33/1. Both teams that should make the playoffs.
Here in Denmark, I placed money on Panthers at 1/25, Falcons at 1/ 47 and Jags at 1/240...Pretty good odds i think?
Its to early to give any team odds on next season. We haven't even had the nfl draft yet, and lets not forget injurys happen as well. Any injury to a key player on any of the nfl teams could really hurt thr team. I'm just saying those are possbillies that's all
Isnt there a minimum bet? You cant just put in 10$.
Its probably $50 minimum.
ESPN stated that the Jaguars need a pass rusher, QB, Interior Lineman and a running back but if they get that they expect a .500 season.
Booo ESPN!
If the Jaguars draft DE, Clowney #3 and Carlos Hyde, HB # 35 and sign FA Browns Center Alex, sign FA DE Seattle Michael Bennett, draft #67th pick OG David Yankey or Xavier Su'a-Filo depending on whos available, then at 99th pick Dereck Carr QB
That team would def. go .500 I think...

Shock the world baby.
All we need to do is draft Aaron Murray in the 3rd, because he is the next russell wilson. Then we need to bring in every UDFA available for tryouts, and pick 7 starters, bring Fernando "Shutdownando" Bryant out of retirement, and build ROBOSELLI and we will make it to the Superbowl.

Every sports book in Vegas sets their own minimum. I bet 10 (at Treasure Island I think) bucks on the Cowboys to make the NFC champ game in '07 but they lost to the Giants in the divisional round.
I think it would have paid 170 bucks.
Not to de-rail the thread, but has everyone read the story (there may be 2 or even more...) of a Auburn fan who bet $100 on Auburn to win it all at 500-1 pre-season odds? You can google it.
That National Championship game must have been a veritable heartbreaker.

You're not de-railing the thread.
Believe it or not, there have been even more unlikely sports teams that were given astronomically low odds of winning it all, and ended up shocking the world.

At LVH in Vegas it is $10. I'll be making my futures bets (Including $10 on the Jags) next month.
Mark Skiba's father was on vacation in Las Vegas last January when he looked at the future odds for
Auburn
to win the national championship: 500 to 1.
So he called he son, a Tigers fan who graduated from the school in 1998.
"I told my dad to put $100 on it," Skiba said. "And he said, 'You're crazy.'"
Thanks to an improbable 12-1 season, which included spectacular finishes against
Georgia
and in the Iron Bowl against
Alabama
, Skiba and a handful of others have a chance to make a lot of money on the Vizio BCS Championship Game.
Skiba, whose bet was placed at the Paris Hotel & Casino on the Vegas Strip, didn't even get the best odds.
The Las Vegas Hotel says it had 14 bettors who placed a bet on Auburn to win it all at 1,000-1 odds. A spokesman for Sportsbook.com said it had two bettors who threw down $100 at 1,000-1 odds.
By comparison,
Florida State
opened the season with 40-1 odds to win the national title. The top-ranked Seminoles (13-0) will face Auburn on Jan. 6 in Pasadena, Calif.
For most of the season, Mark Skiba's betting slip lived in a drawer in his Alabama home, but it almost found its way to the bottom of a trash can after the team lost to
LSU
in September.
"They lost by 14 and it could have been worse," Skiba said. "So I almost threw it out. As it turns out, I now have it in a safety deposit box."
Skiba's story is literally against all odds considering that he says his previous bet before this one -- save for a couple of bets on his own game on the local golf course -- was on Auburn to win the title in 2011.
Weeks after Auburn signed Cam Newton, Skiba said he placed $10 on the Tigers to win it all at 100-1.
"The $1,000 I won paid for my ticket to the game," Skiba said.
Skiba went to the SEC championship game in Atlanta last Saturday and, after Auburn beat
Missouri
, he watched in disbelief as
Michigan State
beat
Ohio State
, which hadn't lost in the 24 games it had played under Urban Meyer.
In the hours after the game, Skiba contemplated his options. He could go all or nothing, hope that Auburn wins the title and he would take home $50,000, or he could be guaranteed money by hedging and placing a bet on FSU, which is favored by nine points.
Ultimately, Skiba decided he will close the loop on his bet by heading to Vegas with a couple of buddies -- including a friend who is an accountant -- and place a bet on the Seminoles that he says will maximize his winnings and take some of the risk off the table.
As an image of Skiba's slip was passed around on Twitter in the minutes after Ohio State's loss, masses of people on the social media platform congratulated him.
Said Skiba: "Some were acting like I did something amazing or I saved somebody's life. I just placed a stupid bet on my favorite team."
Well, apparently, not that stupid.
With the Seahawks at 5/1 odds, if you placed a one dollar bet on every team?
Doesn't that mean the most it would cost you is $27.00? That would mean you would have twenty teams you could profit from by placing the $1 bet on, and no matter what team won you would have bragging rights that you in fact did place a bet on the winning team.
Its to early to give teams odds.
