USC and Notre Dame, Wisconsin, etc. are always gonna have better odds than some smaller school with fewer fans, just because every SC, Notre Dame and Wisconsin alum is gonna place a bet when they're in Vegas. The same thing goes with horse racing--there's odds making and then there's handicapping. Never confuse the two if you're gonna make a bet.

This is the truth behind all of the numbers. Dallas has the best odds, because they have the most fans and the most people who will take this bet. To me it has nothing to do with their chances, only more to do with how to get more people to bet on them.

Cause they are "America's Team"!!! Damn I hate hearing that. I just hope T.O has a mind lapse when he scores a touchdown and stands on the star again, that made me laugh and kind of like the guy. Until he went to the Cowgirls, now I am looking forward to the cancer to rot them from the inside.

On a side note if people want to bet on the girls winning the superbowl, I would be willing to give way better odds... lots of cash for me. HAHA!

...Oh, and with Dallas, everybody's girl friend that's in Vegas is gonna make a bet.

Don't forget all the hookers. Betting the Cowboys to win the Superbowl is the most common bet among prostitutes in Vegas....

This is disgusting.

Why does Dallas deserve to be at the top? Just because they added a few players? Let's not forget they finished 9-7. Does adding a few players make you better than the rest of the league when you couldn't even make the playoffs the year before?

I know these are gambling odds, and should be taken with a grain of salt. However, it is just so undeserved and I think these odds should show more respect to the teams that performed well last year (i.e.: Pittsburg, Denver, etc.).

Dallas adds a few players and all of a sudden they're better than Pittsburg, Denver, and Seattle? BS!

maybe T.O. is a redskins fan deep down inside and he is just making his way around the nfc east to destroy our competition.

look out eli.... you could be next!
