MIAMI – While many flock to the normal team props for each season, one set of odds that should not be overlooked are the odds on a teams stage of elimination. These odds consist of lines where bettors can take a team to miss the playoffs or lose in each round or go on to win the Super Bowl.
These odds offer tremendous value being that it is a great way to make money while betting on more than one option of the bet.
Baltimore Ravens Stage Of Elimination
Stage Of Elimination: Baltimore Ravens
- To Miss The Playoffs +120
- To Lose In Wildcard Round +250
- To Lose In Divisional Round +400
- To Lose In Conference Championship Game +750
- To Lose In Super Bowl +1600
- To Win Super Bowl +2200
Starting with the Baltimore Ravens, they are coming off of a down season where they missed the playoffs after injuries played a crucial part in their fate. Fast track to this season, they have overcome injuries, however, a lot has changed in the division in the last two seasons as the Cincinnati Bengals have overtaken the top spot as division champions. That said they will likely be a Wild Card team as they look to get back to full strength.
As for how to bet on their odds to ensure a profit, it is first worth noting that they are a playoff team forsure, but not a contending team. That being said, the best two options here are their odds to lose in the Wild Card round and Divisional Round.
To make the most of this, it would be wise to bet $100 on each option that way there is a guaranteed $150-$300 profit range.
Cincinnati Bengals Stage Of Elimination
Stage Of Elimination: Cincinnati Bengals
- To Miss The Playoffs +110
- To Lose In Wildcard Round +225
- To Lose In Divisional Round +450
- To Lose In Conference Championship Game +750
- To Lose In Super Bowl +1500
- To Win Super Bowl +2200
Although the Bengals have a strong case to win the division and skip over the wild Card round in doing so, trends do not sit lightly with Super Bowl runner-ups from the season before. Only eight teams in NFL history have made it back to the Super Bowl after losing in the game the year before with the most recent one being the 2018 Patriots.
This does play a massive role on their stage of elimination odds though as signs point to either the divisional round or the conference championship game.
Regardless, betting $100 on both of them guarantees $350 or more in profit. If they lose in the divisional round, $350 can be made after paying back the $100 lost on the conference championship bet. If they lose in the conference championship game, $650 can be made after paying the other $100 back from the divisional round bet.
Miami Dolphins Stage Of Elimination
Stage Of Elimination: Miami Dolphins
- To Miss The Playoffs -180
- To Lose In Wildcard Round +275
- To Lose In Divisional Round +600
- To Lose In Conference Championship Game +1200
- To Lose In Super Bowl +2500
- To Win Super Bowl +4000
The Miami Dolphins are in a similar spot as the Baltimore Ravens, however, they haven’t made the playoffs since 2016 and have also only made the playoffs three times since 2001 – all of which have ended in the Wild Card Round.
While the other teams do have value in betting on more than one option, this is the only team where bettors should ride on Miami going out in the Wild Card round. This team is still extremely young, with a first-year head coach, and very minimal playoff experience as well.
