2020 Championship Odds. Miami in Top 10

[deleted19794]

Based on...????

I have absolutely no idea. We were 7-6 and didn't beat a good team. We don't have a QB, weak at receiver, unproven at RB and our O-Line is poor. We lose Gerald, JJ, MJ and DJ on defense. Other than that, we look like NC contenders to me.

Were the people that put this out drinking?

Futures odds are a rake. You could double every price and the books still have much the best of it. The guy who puts out the list has one directive and one directive alone...make your price on every team and then slice every one. If you think a team is 8/1 then make them no higher than 6/1. The public won't know the difference and you'll lap up the sucker money for the entire offseason.

Notice how quickly this type of list goes up. When you know you have a severe advantage you want the public playing into the market for as long as possible.

The numbers are essentially meaningless

they figure defense is already there just need an offense.if Diaz is homerun hire figure the offense will be close to being as good.

Surprised they're not slurping Florida in that 25-1 field

they basically are going their division winners who therefore have the highest chances given the current CFB format

So you’re saying we are really like 100-1? That sounds more like.
