    Now I have a wager I like a lot. A real lot! Current division prices have the Eagles @ -375 and Cowboys at +310. As a big Eagles fan, I can't believe I am saying this and Boz will not approve, but the Cowboys are going to win this division. I placed a $500 wager this morning at my on line sportsbook, but intent to place a much bigger wager here in Vegas up to $5000, if I can figure out how and where. (don't really want to put big money at the online sportsbook).

    So Redietz if you are reading or anyone else that knows, How do I make this kind of wager in Vegas? I don't see it on the board at any sportsbook? Do I just ask if they have odds on this wager?

    Reasoning: Eagles (9-1) have only beaten two decent teams, the Vikings and the Cowboys without Dak Prescott. I have known since before the season that the second half of the season was going to be much tougher for the Eagles. I believe they will lose to the Cowboys (7-3) in Dallas,, will lose to the Titans, will lose at least one game to the Giants and have games against New Orleans and even Chicago that aren't guaranteed wins. I am not even sure the Green Bay game is a guaranteed win. Meanwhile besides the Eagles game, Dallas has games against the Titans and Giants remaining that look like even remotely possible losses. The Giants game is Thanksgiving and Dallas always wins the Thanksgiving game.

    And as far as tie breakers, if it comes to that and I don't think it will, if the Cowboys beat the Eagles like I think they will, they almost assuredly will have a better record within the division due to the Eagles loss to Washington (plus remaining games against the Giants).

    I hate making this kind of wager against the team I root for, but I really feel like there is money to be made here at these odds. I can still root for the Eagles to make the playoffs (I think they will). The one game that will be very difficult for me will be the actual Eagles-Cowboys game. I feel like That is what this wager really comes down to and the Cowboys at home @ +310...can't pass that up.

    Just go book to book and ask for a printout of NFC divisional odds. Don't ask for a specific team. Those odds may not be available until Tuesday or Wednesday morning. Start at Circa or one of the Circa satellites (Tuscany has one, for example), make sure you check Westgate, and then also at the Plaza (William Hill) and South Point. If you're going to be halfway thorough, check CET and MGM also.

    To be honest, I bet Dallas to win the NFC offshore about a month ago, some at +1000 and some at +750 a week later. Not sure what current NFC odds are right now. I liked the way they looked when they lost to the Eagles. Eagles have recruited some defensive line muscle, which they needed, so they will be better on defense.

    The to-win-NFC odds are likely crap after Dallas hammered the Vikings, so the divisional may be the better option. Not sure.

    If you're interested in NFC divisional odds, you can start by visiting various bookmakers and requesting a printout of the odds. Avoid specifying a particular team, as these odds might not be available until Tuesday or Wednesday morning. To begin, check out Circa or one of its satellite locations, such as Tuscany. Additionally, make sure to review the odds at Westgate, Plaza (William Hill), and South Point. For a more thorough assessment, consider checking CET and MGM as well.

    Personally, I placed a bet on Dallas to win the NFC offshore about a month ago, with some wagers at +1000 and others at +750 a week later. However, I'm not aware of the current NFC odds at the moment. After their loss to the Eagles, I liked Dallas's performance, but the Eagles have improved their defense by recruiting some new defensive line talent.

    Considering Dallas's recent strong performance against the Vikings, the to-win-NFC odds might not offer the best value, so focusing on the divisional odds could be a more attractive option. However, I'm uncertain about the current situation, and further research might be needed.
