NFL Preview / Preseason Discussion - Page 9 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Feel pretty good about drafting KAM in like the 5th round of our mock draft a few years ago. I thought his name sounded cool and he was big and had good combine numbers. I knew nothing of his actual play. lol.

Saw this; real bummer. Thought the guy had a good chance to be a quality contributor at some point.

Also, Mark Ingram says he wants to be the best running back who ever played, so, that's settled.

And like 2 years ago Vince Young said he would be in the HOF.

Though he didn't clarify for what reason. Gotta love delusional people who say dumb things to garner attention.

Rice spent more years and had more catches, yards, and TDs as a raider than moss did.

We need to list greatest players for every franchise:

Colts: Manning
Jags: MJD? Yuck.
Oilers/Titans: Moon
Texans: Andre Johnson
Ravens: Rahim Moore

???

Y'all fill out the rest of the league.

I'm only interested at betting to make the playoffs at this point, though the lines I'm looking at are the ones on bovada and they are heavily juiced

Bovada has
Will the Minnesota Vikings make the playoffs?
Yes +500
No -800

Will the New York Giants make the playoffs?
Yes +225
No -285

how do you typically convert those into juice free lines?

Every team's Mount Rushmore is probably better exercise. Makes Texans a lot tougher lol.

Andre Johnson
JJ Watt
Arian Foster
Mario Williams

I think? Or do we just go ahead and chisel Clowney's luscious locks into that giant rock?

there's a vig free converter but bovada lines are generally a complete joke and probably shouldn't be used for anything.

dorsey out for the year too now

for a team who may be down to their final real shot at a super bowl for the forseeable future, this isn't exactly a promising start

1. convert each of the lines to a %. So for instance in Excel

100/(225+100) = 30.8%
(-285*-1)/((-285*-1)+100) = 74%

2. add up the two %'s you get = 104.8%

3. divide each % by the total of them adding together (30.8% / 104.8%) = 29%

4. convert 29% back into odds

that's how I do it anyways, I think it's right?

sounds a pain but pretty easy in excel

i was trying to think of which team has the worst best player ever, looks like panthers are the answer. but what about for teams that existed before the 90s?
