Think Eagles will make the playoffs? Vegas does

Share

Only five teams in the NFL have better odds of making the playoffs this season than the Eagles, according to Bovada's latest odds.

The Eagles are a minus-150 bet to make the playoffs, so if you choose to bet that they will make the postseason, then you need to bet $150 to win $100. They're a plus-120 to miss the playoffs, so a successful $100 bet would win you $120. 

The five teams ahead of the Eagles: the Cowboys, Broncos, Packers, Colts and, the top team, the Seahawks. (The New England Patriots are currently off the board because of Deflategate.) 

If you want to bet on the two-time defending NFC champion Seahawks to make the playoffs, you should select another bet. You need to risk $800 just to win $100. Or bet against them and shell out $100 to win $500. Want to bet on the other four teams ahead of the Eagles?

• Colts to make the playoffs: $600 to win $100. Miss: $100 to win $400.

• Packers to make the playoffs: $550 to win $100. Miss: $100 to win $375.

• Broncos to make the playoffs: $300 to win $100. Miss $100 to win $240. 

The Titans are the least likely team to make the playoffs. Think Marcus Mariota will lead them to the playoffs? Shell out $100 to win $1,000. On the other hand, if you bet they won't make it, it will cost you $2,500 to for the chance to win $100.

The only two teams in the NFC East that have favorable odds to make the postseason are the Eagles and the Cowboys.

• Cowboys to make the playoffs: $175 to win $100. Miss: $100 to win $145.

• Giants to make the playoffs: $100 to win $175. Miss: $215 to win $100.

• Redskins to make the playoffs: $100 to win $700. Miss: $1,400 to win $100. 

In addition to the Titans, the only other teams with worse odds of making the playoffs are the Jaguars (29th) and Raiders (30th).
