Default +EV prop bets -- \"Will team XYZ make the playoffs\"

I ran through the playoff scenarios for each AFC team and computed the breakeven lines for "Will the team make the playoffs?" Here's what I got...

JETS -955
BENGALS +557
JAX +16200
CHIEFS +9272
BRONCOS -913
TITANS +5470

I'm sure I could have made a mistake on some. However, I'm almost certain I didn't on the Titans since there is only one way for them to get in.

Long story short, Bodog has the NO on the Titans at -600 (was -550), which is an absolute steal. Some of the other lines appear to be slightly +EV, but not enough to pursue imo.

Incidentally, you can arb this by creating a parlay of:

- Steelers ML
- Chiefs ML
- Titans ML
- 49ers ML

Pays out at about +4600. So this could effectively be a -600/+4600 arb. gg Bodog.

p.s. - I probably should have titled this thread "FREE $94".
