Super Bowl odds for 2009

Is it early to look at this? Absolutely, but it never hurts to look at the odds.

If you're into football betting, the Jets are 35-1 to win the Super Bowl next year and 18-1 to win the AFC. I checked this out the other day, and the Jets were 40-1. Maybe not getting Jay Cutler helped the Jets' odds in Vegas? Who knows.

Other teams of interest:
Patriots: 4.5-1. New England is the favorite according to the oddsmakers.
Bills: 40-1.
Dolphins: 45-1.
Giants: 11-1. Best odds from any NFC team, 3rd overall (Steelers are 8-1).

What does all this mean? Las Vegas picks the Jets as the 9th best team in the AFC. If you're familiar with sports betting, you would understand that Vegas is pretty good at predicting these types of things. But that's why sports are great, everything is decided on the field. At 8-3 last year the Jets were favorites in their next four games. We all know what happened next.
