Strongest play of the season for me on this prop

New England to NOT win the AFC -125, $1250 for $1000


Im somewhat of a Pats fan but i just do not see this team doing anything this postseason. Their defense is ridiculously soft and (if hou beats cincy) they would most likely have to beat pittsburgh and baltimore back to back. Im sorry but no fuggin way imo.

I wanna go even more on it but of course anything could happen and ive been burned before going too large when i feel this way about a bet

Let's hope Houston beats Cincy this week, no way Pats beats PIT and BAL back to back. Good Luck!

Totally agree, I still like my chance even if the Pats get Cincy and then likely Balty but if they have to face Pitt and Balty I just dont see them winning either game, let alone both

getting 5 teams vs 1 @ -125 is a very good odds, but no matter who the teams are for new england to lose 1 of 2 games @ -125, is that a good bet. thats the real question here.

I totally agree there defense is awfully soft but honestly there defense does matchup well with most AFC teams. cincy has little offense to begin with. houston could possibly run on them but they have no pass game right now. denver, well we already know how that turned out IN denver. pittsburgh beat new england, but it was in pittsburgh and ben was healthy .... pitt's offense is a totally different with him banged up imo. baltimore has a pretty good offens, but again a great running game with flacco who can lose a game all by himself if he wants too.

i dunno, i tend to like your bet but i dont think i could bring myself to put a lot on it. new england is still the favorite to me, especially with the home field. AFC is pretty weak to boot.

Think about the teams you are now cheering for....A devastated Pitt team, Houston, Cincy, and Denver..yikes. Baltimore your only hope and they are shady at best with Flacco at the helm....good luck though.

I agree with both of you this is not a bet I would like to put alot of money on.

Cincinnati and Houston are not going into NewEngland and winning

Pittsburgh, I wouldn't be shocked at all to see them lose this weekend at Denver. If its Denver we already saw they are not going to beat the Pats in NewEngland and if Pittsburgh does survive this week this is a team that has averaged less than 16 points/game on the road this year and with Ben hurt like he is, with no Mendenhall I don't see them upping this scoring total that much. As for the Pats they were surprised this year against the Steelers with how the Steelers played a lot of press coverage and threw the Pats off their game, but that won't happen a second time since up until this year the Pats have owned the Steelers.

That leaves the bet IMO coming down to a Ravens team that are sure a whole lot better playing at home than on the road where this year they have gone on the road and lost to these spectacular teams Tennessee, Jacksonville, Seattle and SDiego, not one of these teams even made the playoffs and in those 4 losses they scored a grand total of 51 points.

As flawed as the Pats are on defense this year the teams that will be coming into NewEngland are whole lot more flawed.

Good luck to you.

Good Luck! Only team I see beating Pats is the Ravens. AFC is weak this year with all the injuries. I hope we'll see Lions(jk)/Ravens SuperBowl this year.
