How do I win this NFL bet?

Post by Socnorb11 »

3 other guys at work and myself are each throwing 50 bucks on the table. We each get to pick 1 NFL team, that we think will finish with the best record. Whoever's team finishes the season with the best regular season record wins the 200 bucks.

One guy took the Saints. Another one is a Cowboys fan, and took them. Sounds like the third guy is leaning toward the Jets. I'm pretty high on the Packers and the Colts right now.

What say you, GRB?

I think the Ravens could be up there.

Colts are a very safe bet. I would pick them. The other guys are all taking flyers on either playoff teams taking another step forward, or a champ not taking a step back. Indy is *always* good for at least 12 wins, even in what should be a tough division.

Chargers, Packers or Colts.

Colts are safe.

Regular season wins? I'd go with the Colts. I'm not sure the Jets will even beat the Patriots in their division. Chargers and Packers are decent picks, although the Chargers always start slow and the Pack has to deal with the Vikings and a Bears team that is a little better. The guy with the Saints has a bit of an unfair advantage unless he made that pick before last night.

I think the Cowboys might be the best bet overall. But I bet a friend who is a Cowboys fan $100 that Tony Romo will never start for a Super Bowl winner. I think I made a good bet.

I'd say Colts all the way, the only other one I'd be tempted with is the Packers because they appear to have a much easier schedule.

The Ravens have a ton of talent on offense but I'm still not completely sold on Flacco. And their defense isn't as good as it has been in the past, plus Ed Reed is out for awhile. The Bengals might win that division and the Steelers will be decent when they get Ben back.

The more I think about it the Chargers might be your best bet. That division is terrible. Colts are still the safe pick.

I can't go with the Chargers, because then I would find myself having to root for them every week. Being a Broncos fan, that's just not do-able.

I think I'll go Colts.

San Diego only qualifies as least worst in that division. They're in decline. One or two key injuries and they're fighting to break .500. That would mean a two to four way race in the AFC Worst, err West.
