DISCLAIMER: SPORTS BETTING IS ILLEGAL IN THE UNITED STATES EXCEPT IN THE STATE OF NEVADA
Place your Bets !!
What are YOUR team’s chances of winning Super Bowl XLII in Glendale, Arizona on February 3rd, 2008?
Vegas knows the odds!
The Vegas odds-makers know what they’re doing. These guys are pros when it comes to sports handicapping. However, THEY are not the only ones that determine where odds are set. The general public can affect whether odds go up or down depending on betting or non-betting. Therefore, when I mention in my comments 'they' or 'Vegas', it refers to the bookmakers and the betting public.
Give me your opinions. Which of these teams are 'legit' and which are just 'hyped'?
NOTE: I used three on-line resources to garner a sampling of the current odds:

3/1 to 4/1—the off-season additions are impressing Vegas
6/1—surprised they’re ahead of the Colts?
6/1 to 8/1—being disrespected?
10/1—Vegas feels they still have the core in place to compete
12/1—they apparently like the defensive moves
15/1—addition of McGahee doesn’t seem to impress them much
15/1—apparently they like the hiring of Wade Phillips
15/1 to 17/1—everyone still has faith in this team
15/1 to 17/1—with the off-season additions, only 5th or 6th best in AFC?
15/1 to 18/1—nice additions, why 4th best in the NFC?
18/1 to 19/1—why 5th in NFC when they played in NFCCG?
18/1 to 20/1—Faith in the new coach
20/1—They still like Delhomme
20/1—I’m not sure WHO they have faith in with the Giants
30/1—middle of the pack
30/1—about where they should be
30/1—surprised they aren’t a little higher?
38/1 to 40/1—this seems a bit optimistic. It’s all VY
35/1 to 50/1—this is rather shocking with no defense in place
40/1—I like Cameron more than anybody but 40/1? 
40/1 to 50/1—people still like Favre
40/1 to 60/1—starting to get some attention
50/1—apparently Vegas is with me on where this franchise is heading
50/1—lots of losses on defensive side of the ball hurts their chances
50/1—good dark-horse bet?
55/1 to 60/1—surprised they’re so low?
70/1 to 75/1—getting down towards the bottom of the heap
70/1 to 75/1—nothing on offense to make us think otherwise
80/1 to 100/1—why would anyone pay 80/1 for the worst team in the NFL? Bad bet.
100/1—They should be ahead of the Raiders, shouldn’t they?
100/1—no surprise here
100/1—They should also be ahead of the Raiders,right?
