Default Who Will Be the Biggest Flop in the NFL this Year?

I'm talking of the teams that are "suppose" to be good.

I'd say the Cleveland Browns. They beat pretty much nobody last year. Anderson started to fade toward the end of last year. To me, he's still unproven. With the personalities on that team, if Anderson struggles you'll be hearing from the Winslow's and Edwards of the team. A tough schedule this year could bring a QB controversy mid season.

I'm seeing the Giants pretty close to the top in a lot of Super Bowl Futures, so somebody must think they're gonna be good.

I'm seeing 30/1 on the Giants lol.

Cowboys 9/2

Patriots 3/1

I suppose if you look hard enough you'll find just about anything. On average they're probably around 10 or 12 . I saw a 20-1 and a 4-1 on them. and quite a bit in between.

Look hard enough? Top three future books: Pinnacle 30/1. Cris 27/1. The Greek 26/1. Put up an offer on one of the exchanges and you could even do better.

Don't ever bother with Vegas odds. They probably know they have some New York suckers coming out there for football and fleece them. The hold there is ludicrous. Who the hell makes them 4/1??? Even 10/1???? They are better than 5/1 to win their DIVISION at the books I just mentioned.

You should not be worried about the Browns but your own beloved Cincy Bengals. This is the team in OHIO full of ego's and a coach who should have been fired a year ago. Sorry to say, but Cleveland plays as a team and they will win 10 games. Week 1 will come with the upset of Dallas. Mark it down and call your man and cash in on the +220 on the money line

Very tough division but I actually think this team is under under rated. They are a good team and I wouldn't be surprised to see the beat the skins by 10+ points tonight. They are playing with a serious chip on their shoulder with all the nay sayers

I said many times the Bengals would be lucky to win 5. I'll worry about who I want to worry about. Browns won't win much more than that. They will be lucky to be 1-3 at the bye week. If the Browns win more than 7 games, I will be shocked!

Much tougher schedule this year for the Browns.

They need to do well in their division

I don't know the odds, but Favre won't be able to save the Jets from missing the playoffs this year.

To follow up on Pats. Division is much better. Questions about Bradys health. Coming off Super Bowl loss. They won a bunch of games late last year they could have lost.

Dont see them going 6-10. But thinking 10-6 is about as good as they will finish, and 9-7 is what I think will be their record

How pathetic!

Looking forward to this season more than any since late '80s with my boy Bernie.

If they lose next week, it will be over so quickly.

Why did Crennel kick a FG down by 3 TD's with 7 minutes to go?

You're kidding, right?? HA HA!!! 2-0 after this week and only have to win a MAXIMUM of 8 of their remaining 14 games to make it? Even though I'm not even remotely a Giants fan, can't see many scenarios where they miss the play-offs...............

His field goal tonight was even more hilarious. He's been added to my Christmas card list.
