Playoffs: what has to happen
— Vikings Win Next 4 (at Cowboys, at Giants, vs. Lions, vs. Packers)
— Bears Lose Out (vs Browns, vs. Packers, at 49ers, vs. Lions)
— Lions Lose 3 but Beat Bears (at Rams, vs. Steelers, at Vikings, at Bears)
— Panthers Lose 2 Games (at Saints, vs. Bucs, vs. Seahawks, at Bucs)
— Cowboys Lose to Vikings and 1 Extra (vs. Vikings, vs. Chargers, vs. Commies, at Giants)
The odds of all this happening fall between 1-2%

Doom and gloom to going to the playoffs in one week! Gotta love it!
Who wants to be a mill'naire?
Vikings were at +2500 to win the Super Bowl way back at the beginning of the year. They're now at +100,000, meaning if you have a hot stack burning a hole in your wife's pocket ($1,000 for you boomers), you are going to bring home One. MILLION. Dollars. All the Vikings have to do is win the Super Bowl.
C'mon, who's not a pussy?

Ha! Might be unhealthy for a certain kind of fan. I’m just not that kind of fan. :-)

Yep. It's that new math thing. It's a smooth $100M payoff on a $1k bet

Ha! You wish. No, $10 gets you $10K. You need $1K to win $1M

Yep Had to look it up, kind of a dumb way to express the wager payout, seems it would be much easier to say Xwhatever so its simple math from there.

Is this really worse than the folks making hundred of mock drafts, starting in May each year?
KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

I didn't tell them how to express the odds. That's just how it's always been. Personally, I've never fully understood it myself, but nor do I need to. If you could win a million on a ten dollar bet, something is severely outta whack.

I had assumed you had a typo when you posted the payout. As far a Vikings to win the superbowl.... I think I would take those 10s at this point.
