Odds to win the Superbowl according to this Vegas and this link

Best odds:

Denver 4:1
Houston 5:1
Atlanta, Green Bay 6:1
San Francisco 7:2
New England 9:2
Seattle 15:1

[Sylvanfan]

Those odds were as of the 21 of December. I imagine that SF, Seattle, and Houston have all been adjusted based on last week. Even Green Bay is likely up to 9:2 now that they would be the 2 seed.

Sean Payton signs a 5 year contract extension. Reportedly $7.5 million per year. He should be rested and focused for next year. Get him a decent defense and the sky's the limit.

college/nfl/draft related.

UWV's Gino Smith is a horrible QB and has demonstrated so in the last half of this season. TV pundits are saying he might be the first QB taken in the draft. I wouldn't take him with the very last pick.

I agree. He's got the physical tools to be really good but doesn't have the ability to scan the field for open receivers.

I really hate this years draft class. It's like the 99 NHL draft without the Sedins. As a Chief fan the last thing I want to do is draft a Defensive Tackle, or OLB/DE, or offensive tackle....but those are the best players, and there is going to be no one wanting to trade up. Worst year ever to suck this bad.

I like the way the draft looks for the Lions as they likely will get one of Teo or Milliner (although with the Lions luck both will be gone and they will take another DT), but I certainly can see how it would be tough for a Chiefs fan with no clear #1 guy and certainly no QB worth taking.

[PIMking]

Don't worry Sylvanfan, if there was Andrew Luck or RGIII there we would still draft John Brantley

I don't even care who the Bills take because it's not going to matter as long as we have "I need to stay 50/50 on TD/Int" Fitzpatrick

Colts have nothing to play tomorrow as they are locked in as the 5th seed. Houston should come out firing to try and clinch the #1 seed. I am pretty sure that Denver and New England are both going to win their games so Houston will have to win as well to get a bye.

[OILFAN #81]

Morning games are starting! I love Sunday's! I will be watching Texans @ Colts.

Other games with playoff seedings/scenarios in the morning are Eagles @ Giants (Giants have to win to have any chance of the playoffs), and Bears @ Lions (Giants need the Lions to win or they are eliminated, Bears need to win or they are eliminated).

PS.....Pagano tribute in Indy. Love it. Way to go CHUCK!!!!! Chuckstrong.

[Displaced Flames fan]

Pagano stuff is inspiring. Don't take anything for granted. Be kind to people and love fiercely. Remission is a beautiful word!

[Papi34]

Lets go Colts!!!

Feel so dirty

[OILFAN #81]

What an opening drive by the offense against a team trying to get the #1 seed. 7-0 Colts. Luck to Fleener.

[The Big Chill]

Pretty soft PI on third down.

[Papi34]

WOO Great start colts!

That was definitely PI. On the 3rd down play, the defender had no idea where the ball was as he had his back turned to it and was shoving Wayne before the ball got there.

If that's shoving then there is PI on every play. There is nothing wrong with being right against him. And he does turn around before the ball is there.

[Pierre "Monster" McGuire]

Oh no. Last game of the year and Asante Samuel and Dunte Robinson both go off the field with injuries.

That's the last thing the Falcons need, to lose two CBs before the playoffs.

Sanchez throwing the pick six. Oh my he is bad
