Hype over 2015 NFL Draft Has Odds-Makers In Full Drama-Mode

Everyone is nuts over what Chip Kelly and the Philadelphia Eagles are going to do.  Steelers fans just want the “Iggles” and the other half of Pennsylvania to sit down and shut up already (or at least eat that S1, S2 sign for real).  Yes, in reference to the photo.  Add a bag of chips and that could be real entertainment.

Kelly has been driving the media insane with all his slight of hand and mystical magic shows during the offseason – my odds that he’ll continue the madness during the draft are so high that Barry White would pass out if he tried to hit the note.

Odds the following teams trade (one of) their Round 1 pick(s)

• Philadelphia: 3/2
• San Diego: 3/2
• Tennessee: 3/2
• Cleveland: 2/1
• Jacksonville: 3/1
• Oakland: 5/1
• Washington: 5/1
• NY Jets: 5/1
• St. Louis: 5/1
• Detroit: 5/1
• New England: 6/1

Odds that Philadelphia wins the Super Bowl …

• with Marcus Mariota as their starting QB: 65/1
• without Marcus Mariota as their starting QB: 20/1

 

This may be a bold prediction on my part at this point, but remember that you read it here – you can make me eat the words later:  The Philadelphia Eagles will not be in the Super Bowl following the 2015 regular season.  I know, you are probably reading this and shaking your head, thinking “this chic thinks she knows football.”  I do, and I have admittedly been wrong.  My reasoning is this:  traditionally teams that have made a ton of moves in the offseason did not make it to the Super Bowl that same year.  Team chemistry is something that takes seasoning and few teams have the right spice rack.
