Eliminated teams.....

I would love for the Falcons to sneak into the #4 seed.

The Rams will be an instant fade in the WC round/playoffs no matter who they play.

I wouldn't be to thrilled if the Dolphins get in. The ML vs the Bills would be higher than I'd be willing to bet.

My first bet in the WC round is the Minnesota Vikings -122 @ Los Angeles Rams. That should come to no suprise to whomever has followed this thread.

If by chance the Rams win, I'll double up and fade them again in the Divisional round and so on until they lose. The odds of the Rams being a SB participant is 0% based on the last 21 years of data being a 6th Tier team.

Hopefully Sam isn't seeing ghosts as he often does in big games.

I thought I saw a stat that no #5 seed has won a super bowl. That would be Minnesota.
 
But if you're doing a rolling moneyline you will still get a favorable moneyline on Detroit if that's the way it goes. That line won't be any more than 3/3.5
 
I personally think Washington beats the BUCS and Rams play the eagles. In that case you'd be laying -5/6
 
I think its Detroit easily in the NFC and they will face either Buffalo or KC in the Super Bowl. The only team I could see shocking everyone is the Chargers thats all due to how good a coach Harbaugh is.

Until I see Lamar not choke in the playoffs I have no belief in Baltimore and I don't see anyone in the NFC that will challenge Detroit.

Bro the Rams, Vikings, and eagles can all best Detroit. Especially Philly.
 
Am I better off betting the short Lions futures which is at +295 or betting them on the money line and rolling it over every game.
 
I'm not picking the Vikings to win the championship. My play is a fade of the 6th Tier Rams.

I realize that. I thought a 5 seed hadn't won one before. I'll probably have Rams in some fashion small. That data is flawed with them imo because of their multiple injuries earlier in year.

The Los Angeles Rams are a 6th Tier team. Any team that is in the playoffs as a 4th Tier - 7th Tier team are an auto fade. The results L21 seasons of those teams below.

But you're doing a fade chase correct?
 
I'll have my 3 possible Super Bowl winning teams and a couple Super Bowl Exacta's by Friday night/Saturday morning at the latest based on my Tiers and other proven factors of previous Super Bowl Champions L21 seasons.

I don't expect the Lions on that list purely based on your disdain for Dan Campbell.

Any disdain has NO part of my bet options. This is 100% based on L21 years of season data (Tiers), regular season data this season and proven factors of past Super Bowl Champions.
 
SB Champion Projections -

There's 6 teams that must be considered as the 2025 NFL Champion but I've narrowed them down to my top 3 teams (BOLD). Besides my Team Tiers (finalized prior to week 5), I consider and take into account many other factors.

AFC
3Baltimore Ravens (1st Tier)
2Buffalo Bills (2nd Tier)

1Kansas City Chiefs (2nd Tier)

NFC
5Minnesota Vikings (2nd Tier)
1Detroit Lions (1st Tier)
2Philadelphia Eagles (2nd Tier)

Even though this season is wide, wide open with any of the listed 6 teams possibly winning it all i believe the SB champion could come from a possible Divisional matchup of Baltimore/Buffalo.

SUPER BOWL CHAMPION L21 YEARS

2ND TIER 3/21, 14%
3RD TIER 2/21, 10%
4TH-7TH TIER 0/21, 0%

I've posted the above SB participant/champion Tier results L21 years all season. As you can see 1st Tier teams have a distinct advantage, followed by 2nd & 3rd Tier teams.

With all that being said, Detroit, Philadelphia & Kansas City are very capable and I wouldn't be surprised if one of those are holding the 🏆.

My 3 teams in BOLD above can be used for Super Bowl Champion single bets and/or Super Bowl Exacta's. A strategy also could be to wait for Baltimore, Buffalo and/or Minnesota to lose and then make the wagers with less possible outcomes.

Good luck!
 
A few futures with good value -

SB Champion Odds (Circa)
Baltimore +545 (1st Tier)
Buffalo +530 (2nd Tier)
Minnesota +2150 (2nd Tier)

SB Exacta Odds (Circa)
Buffalo def Minnesota +5300
Baltimore def Minnesota +5900
 
Isn't it strange when a puzzle comes together L21 seasons. I'm just missing 1 piece. Can you find it?

Here's another clue to the last piece of the puzzle. Below are the Tiers remaining at the completion of the WC round the last few years. I can post the 17 prior seasons but the pattern remains the same. Maybe this season will be the outlier.

So you believe the Vikings are the best team in the NFC? Interesting.

Not necessarily. Detroit & Philadelphia are close, real close as I mentioned in my quoted comment.

If you were to ask me if any other NFC team besides Minnesota will win the Championship the answer would be NO.

If Minnesota loses on Monday the Super Bowl Champion will be the team who wins the Baltimore/Buffalo game.

"I believe the SB champion could come from a possible Divisional matchup of Baltimore/Buffalo".

It's the same thing, you think they are the best team in the NFC if you believe they are the only ones capable of winning the championship from the NFC. Just semantics.

I can see the Lions having a hard time with the Eagles and anyone from the AFC except Texans. Think they live in Sam's head though. Stafford will be a tough out for them too if they win tonight and beat the Eagles. Just my 2 cents.

Incorrect. If I thought that I would have bet Minnesota to win the NFC. Philly and Det could get to the Bowl and lose, no?

If Minnesota wins the Championship it will be defeating Buffalo, not Baltimore. That's based on L21 seasons of results.

It will become more clearer as the playoffs progress. As I mentioned as those 3 teams mentioned get eliminated the possibilities decease/odds and the predicted outcome increases.

@HUNT look at comment #292 & #293. I'm very confident with my -122 bet on Minnesota Vikings v the Los Angeles Rams that i posted well before the venue change. It's all about the L21 seasons of results. IF I lose I fade Rams again.

If Minnesota does lose then you may want to bet the AFC to win the Super Bowl (Balt/Buf).
