    Raiders are 25-1? They don't even have a coach, do they?

    I'm not a Cowboy fan or Eagles fan, but, how can Dallas be favored that much more than the Eagles?

    I laughed at that too - who the hell would bet on something a year in advance?

    Philadelphia Eagles +2255
    Dallas Cowboys +2808

    Cowboys aren't favored over the Eagles here.

    If the Eagles go 2 - 14 next season but the two wins are against the Cowboys, I'll still consider it a good season.

    According to those odds the Arizona Cardinals are more favored to win the SB than the Falcons or Bucs image

    Indianapolis Colts +544
    New England Patriots +858
    Pittsburgh Steelers +960

    Colts favored again over the Patriots and the Steelers. Not surprising but interesting especially by this much. Colts a sucker favorite again?

    Steelers will have a drastically different team next year than this...they have 5 starters that are free agents, and are about $5 million over the cap.

    Yeah, i saw the Bucs at +3749, worse than the Ravens, Cards, and Falcons?

    Hmmm, wierd.

    I think so... the only thing they've proven is they'll lose you money. At the start of the playoffs, the odds were even money for them to win the superbowl!

    Also not a shocker that 7 of the top 10 teams favored are AFC including the top 3.

    Only thing I can think of is the fact that the Bucs have a tougher schedule next year. They have a first place schedule, where as the Cards and Falcons play a third place schedule and Ravens play a fourth place schedule.
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    Chris, I got them from pinnaclesports.com +2800 is the same as 28-1. I think their odds are best since they take an enormous amount of bets.

    I agree that the difference on the Cowboys is extreme. To rationalize it, I think it's fair to say the Cowboys are a public team "America's team", and that relatively poor odds are given to them due to their popularity, whereas Pinnacle represents much closer to the true betting market.

    I wish I had a dollar for everytime someone predicted that a NFC East team would win anything. They haven't won squat in over 10 years
    now. They are dead!
