Sports Weekly sports analyst Danny Sheridan, last year's two Super Bowl teams have the best shot of winning Super Bowl XL. He gives New England and Philadelphia both 6:1 odds

Unless ...

Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens, at 31, decides he can do without $3.5 million and sits out this season in protest of his contract situation.

"Without Owens, the Eagles are still the best team in the NFC," Sheridan says. "But I'd drop their chances of winning (the title) to 8:1."

He lists Indianapolis, thanks to the potent arm of Peyton Manning, at 7:1  even though the Colts' secondary has the stability of a two-legged Titanic deck chair. But if Manning, say, breaks his right arm, the Colts' odds plummet to 50:1.

Atlanta and Pittsburgh are next at 10:1, followed by Carolina and Kansas City (12:1), Baltimore (15:1), Minnesota and Jacksonville (18:1), the Jets (20:1), San Diego (22:1), Seattle and Green Bay (25:1), Buffalo (28:1), Denver (30:1), Oakland (40:1), St. Louis (50:1), Tampa Bay (75:1), Dallas (100:1), Washington (250:1), Tennessee (1,000:1), Cincinnati (5,000:1), the Giants (25,000:1) and Detroit (100,000:1).

There's a big fall-off after that. Sheridan has New Orleans as a million-to-one shot, Arizona double that, Miami triple that. Houston is five million:1, Chicago 100 million:1, Cleveland a billion-to-one and  drum roll, please!  San Francisco at a mind-boggling sextillion-to-1.

That's a whole lot of zeroes  21, to be exact. Of course, this is for entertainment purposes only. Vegas.com would only give the 49ers odds of 150:1  hardly worth the risk, according to Sheridan's calculations

Read the article ..... he has Philly and NE at 6:1 odds.
 
Putting $50 bucks for the Dolphins to win the Superbowl would be the equivalent to winning the lottery.
 
The odds of Sheridan ever getting laid by a hot chick--gajillion to one.
 
Sextillion = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (that's right, a 1 with 21 zeros).

That's a Billion Trillions.... :eek: :eek: :eek:

That's more $ than is currently in PRINT.....a thousand times over!!! :eek: :eek:
 
Actually does anyone know a good reliable Website (connected to Vegas odds or otherwise) that I can go to if I wanted to place a wager of two? :cool:
 
damn if i put 10 dollars on san fran. i can retire at the young age of 23!! need a link to put 10 on san fran please......:rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3:
 
i just started to evaluate this season's schedule so i'm only up to the second week but @ 22-1 san diego is my dark horse to take it all. i'm only speaking two games into the schedule. as for the favourites, i'm not all that impressed with any of them. this season will be strange. i think after two games you can have at least two divisions with zero wins between them.
 
i'm sorry. i meant after week one - you can have two divisions at 0-8 between them. my mistake.
 
Heck.. at www.bodog.com you can bet on nfc/afc winners and even division winners...man..i need to stop gambling already..the season hasnt even started.
