The Boys in Vegas Hate the Redskins!

Simply a slap in the face towards an organization that deserves a lot of criticism but is much better than their perception. At least the on-field product.

The late Rodney Dangerfield once said "I don't get no respect!" (Check out 2:45 mark)

For the Washington Redskins - the lack of respect is well earned. 

This is what happens when you finish (3-13) but there's a problem -- well there's many problems with these odds. 

First - the people creating them know nothing. They are trying to set a line to get action on both sides and to get a reaction. 

It's not because they have any secret inside knowledge or a crystal ball. 

It's Bovada. I'm sure they have some data that they base it on, but they don't even explain whether the odds are to make the Super Bowl or to win it!

Matthew Paras of the Washington Times did a little extra digging on this subject because I can't even keep up with the lunacy. 

On top of that, there's simply no chance the Bengals are that much better than the Redskins, even with Joe Burrow factored in. 

The Bengals are also not better than seven other teams but we go back to the original premise. This isn't based on facts or inside knowledge. This is based on suckering you for your money. 

That's it. Don't believe me. Try it yourself if you have a couple hundred bucks to waste.
