Ready for some Football?

Sorry it has been a few days since the last blog, but this blogger needed a little vacation. I hope all of you enjoyed our last post about Super Bowl tickets and found yourself some useful information.

Tonight is the opening game of the 2005 NFL season and it should be a good one. The Oakland Raiders are visiting the New England Patriots. The Patriots are favored by 7 1/2 points and are still considered one of the heavy favorites in Vegas to repeat as Super Bowl Champions.

Monday night here in Atlanta we will witness the Philadelphia Eagles playing the Atlanta Falcons. The Eagles are favored by 1 1/2 points and are the heavy favorite in Vegas to at least win the NFC Championship and maybe the Super Bowl.

I have been periodically keeping you updated on the Tradesports market for NFC and AFC Champions because it is very important in our business when trying to figure out where we think prices for Super Bowl tickets will be. Below is your first game day of the season update:

The numbers next to the team name are the bid/ask spread to purchase 0-100 contracts on tradesports.com for each team to win their respective conference championship.

AFC

Colts 23.6/25.4
Patriots 19.8/21.0
Steelers 11.0/11.1
Ravens 10.6/11.1

NFC

Eagles 26.5/28.0
Falcons 12.2/13.0
Panthers 12.6/13.9
Vikings 11.1/12.9

Until tomorrow - Adios!
