Feeling Good About Your Texans? [Super Bowl Odds]

[Arky]

Denver Broncos 2/1
New England Patriots 5/2
San Francisco 49ers 4/1
Atlanta Falcons 6/1
Seattle Seahawks 9/1
Green Bay Packers 9/1
Houston Texans 20/1
Washington Redskins 20/1
Baltimore Ravens 25/1
Cincinnati Bengals 50/1
Minnesota Vikings 75/1
Indianapolis Colts 80/1

Texans now 20/1 to win the SuperBowl and 9/1 to win the AFC.

A lot of Texan fans on suicide watch around the internet.... Most convinced the Texans will choke like dogs on Sunday. If I was that convinced they would lose, I'd empty out the bank accounts, the 401K, the PayPal account, pawn all my valuables, find the nearest bookie and put it all on Cincinnati. Then I could still mope about the Texans sucking but at least I'd have a bunch a money to cheer me up......

I'm no pro at this, but Atlanta's number seems to have some value here. They could go the whole way playing in a dome either at home or close enough to it.

I'm no pro either but I would agree. Atlanta is dangerous and flying under the radar (as much as a 13-3 team can be overlooked).... perhaps due to their recent playoff record.

Side note, their coach Mike Smith played the Week 17 Tampa Bay game to win.... They ended up losing the game and a few players, notably their great pass rusher Abraham, got dinged up... Interesting that he (Smith) said (paraphrasing) "we get paid to win games" which led to a discussion on NFLN about "winning games" vs. "winning Superbowls"....

I would like to short the Redskins, please.

"we get paid to win games"

Mike Smith would have a terrible time as an Astros fan.
