[QUOTE="Zombieslayer, post: 209224, member: 627"] Out of curiosity, I wonder the Vegas analyst reasonings for picking us at 14-1 odds. They have the Pats at 3-1, which I think is absurd. The Pats team has several key players (immediately Junior Seau and Kevin Faulk come to mind) who are getting up there in age. And Randy Moss had a season that's a statistical anomoly. He won't come close to those numbers next year as opponents will do everything in their power to limit Brady's throwing time. Now the Packers are the youngest team in the NFL. We lost to the SB winner by a field goal in OT. Do they dismiss us as a one-year wonder? If so, why? I'm wondering if they're thinking Harris and Woodson will drop off next year and we'll be picked apart by top tier passing teams. Or maybe they think Favre won't come back. Whatever their reasonings, I want to know how they came up with 14-1 odds. Green and gold lenses aside, I see us improving next year. I think Harris' stock will drop slightly, but we'll adjust for it accordingly. Our DC won't make that mistake again. Plus, the big surprise in '08 will be Atari Bigby who just may lead NFC safeties in INTs next year as he's representing the NFC in the Pro Bowl. The other thing is Rouse will be the starting FS. We'll have two of the more punishing Safeties and opposing WRs will hate playing in Lambeau. I also see MM working more on the ground game and us becoming a more run friendly team, more like our '03 offense except better because of a better WR staff. The thing we'll need to see is one more stud on the DL. If someone can take the consistent double teams off of Kampman, we should be good enough to punish pass first teams. So, why are we 14-1 odds to win the SB? The thing to always keep in mind though is picking SB champs is like picking stocks. You can work 50-60 hours a week at it and still not beat the S&P 500 index. So don't believe the oddsmakers just because it's their full-time job. I still want to hear their reasonings. [/QUOTE]
