I've never bet, not on anything, but I was tempted this pre-season when Vegas was offering 20 -1. Hell, I could lose $500. and not feel it, but $10 K would be a nice vacation.
I bet the odds must be 40-1 right now and I would like that bet. One win today and everything changes. Just think division, for now. We still control our fate and I think we still have the best personnel in football, much less in the division.
We have four more division games, I think we can win all four. If we do that, I think we're in the playoffs, 'cause the other guys are going to knock each other around. Dallas loses just one among the four between them and The Skins and Philly and we'd be tied. And Dallas still may be losing Zeke and has a tough schedule after the Rams.
So if you break it down, the division is possible, even if not likely, but forty to one (or something like that) doesn't say it's "likely" either - just possible.
No home field hasn't been a deterrent either.
We, me in particular, almost have to be wrong about Mac, he can't be as bad as I think he is. Too many qualified people close to the scene think otherwise.
Again, I don't think we should be favorites or even close to "even" money. But does anyone think that if, indeed, 500 would earn you 15,000 (or somewhere around there based on 30-1), that it's not worth a once in a lifetime bet.?
Tell ya what, strange as it sounds, even If we lose today, In my heart of hearts, I would still give this team a chance, just because I think the other three teams are so even and because of Zack's likely suspension. That and the belief in our talent.
