00:00The Philadelphia Eagles were the favorites, entering last year at plus 3.30, 70 cents

00:08in front of the 49ers.

00:10The Vikings had a 12 to 1 price with some promise of Kirk Cousins after a playoff appearance

00:15and a 13 win season in 2022.

00:18But now entering 2024, Donnie, the story is really the San Francisco 49ers price in my

00:24estimation.

00:25Yes, the Lions and the Eagles are tied for that second best number, but San Francisco

00:29is nearly half every other team in the conference.

00:33The 49ers enter with a very short price of plus 300.

00:37It does make some sense because when you're looking from last year into this year, the

00:41Eagles were the favorites coming off the Super Bowl championship.

00:44Now while there's going to be a hangover, we didn't know about that.

00:46There was no hangover technically as the Eagles were 10 and 1, maybe the best team record

00:50wise at least in football last year.

00:51Then we saw the 49ers actually being the better team.

00:54Focus on this year now, the question marks that come up because you're still seeing some

00:58of the same teams come up in that top five, but the 49ers had a 3 to 1 price I do think

01:02makes a lot of sense.

01:03We're expecting really big things out of the Lions and the Eagles also to be competent

01:07than the Packers, which we're loving the Cowboys.

01:09You get the picture here, primarily the same sort of teams that we were looking at in 2023.

01:13But if we are saying, well, what's the difference?

01:15Why were the Eagles last year a plus 330 price and this year now sitting at a plus 550 price?

01:20The reason being is the question marks are up here.

01:22The 49ers don't have nearly the same amount of question marks right now than the Philadelphia

01:26Eagles do.

01:27So we've got coordinators here, basically a brand new defense.

01:29How are they going to gel together?

01:30So it makes sense to me that from last year to this year, you're flip flopping with the

01:34Eagles and the 49ers.

01:35And I agree with that.

01:36I do.
