NFL 'STOCKD' with bad teams

NFL 'STOCKD' with bad teams Amazingly, the 6 teams projected to bet the worst in the NFL ALL sent under their season win totals. A sure sign the marketplace has over corrected to the normal regression to the mean. Below are their opening numbers, then closing numbers: StLouis (5.5/6) Tampa Bay (7/6) Oakland (6/5.5) Cleveland (6.5/6) Kc (5.5/6) Det (5/4.5) Interestingly 4 of the 6 had money come in ON these turkeys.....

all those teams above, I believe, were below .500 last year, all with new head coaches and with new or very inexperienced QBs (except Stl who just had a terrible one). whomever thought that was a recipe for wins was sadly mistaken.

wow did Tampa actually open at 7? wtf?

[QUOTE=blackout;14553]wow did Tampa actually open at 7? wtf?[/QUOTE] they were 9-7 in 2008. Putting them at 7ish wins wasnt insane. But when looking at the complete view of the team, especially as things started to implode in preseason....it was a pretty bad number.
