I heard about him as well. 75-1 does seem a bit high. I can't sit here and say I thought back last summer that Atlanta would be in the Super Bowl, but there was a few hints. Last year they started out 5-0 with wins over all 4 NFC East teams. Many believe the NFC East was the top conference in 2016 (I'm not sure I'm on board with that). They also were the only team to beat the 15-1 Panthers last year. The offense was explosive, although Ryan slipped a bit in 2015. But Dan Quinn is a defensive guy coming from Seattle. Would it have been a real stretch to envision some defensive improvement?
Kind of like Giacomo. I wasn't a Giacomo fan, but 20-1 was a more realistic price than 50-1. Atlanta should've been about half of that 75-1.
