Ravens worth a shot

CharlieMaxwell · Aug 16, 2006

Bettors can find Baltimore at 38/1 to win the Super Bowl at Pinnacle sports book. At those odds, the Ravens are worth a shot. It leaves plenty of room for hedging if the Ravens reach the playoffs.

Once I read a thread about how useless those future wagers can be. At those odds is not actually that bad to lose $25 and give it a shot.

I think Ravens offer a bargain. Big question is, can the sure up the offensive line and keep McNair healthy?

Interesting point of view, but Ravens seem well priced. What I don't get much are people that bet futures purely on the hopes of hedging out come playoff time. Unless they get a first round bye or at least home field for the first round playoff you can't squeeze that much profit out of 38-1 hedging. You will get some profit, but offset it with the fairly good chances the team won't make the playoffs at all and this seems minimally profitable.

Just hard for me to get excited about a team in such a tough division as even the worst team, Cleveland, looks like they could be a decent team in an easier division.

Baltimore will be good, but not good enough to make the playoffs.

Right now they are +4648 at Pinny. Arizona Cards are +3308. I know which team has a championship D.

Now that's crazy, the Cardinals don't have near what it takes to win the Super Bowl and if the Ravens were in any division in the NFC but the East they would make the playoffs easily.

Couldn't believe it either. Cards do have an easier road, but don't have near the team. I took some Ravens today. Also hedged a little of my Tigers futures.
