All
of the odds that are listed below are based upon Las
Vegas odds that were posted August 26, 2004 and may
differ from your favorite Internet Sport Book Super
Bowl odds, which generally gives you even better odds.
One thing is certain though; the odds will undoubtedly
change between the time of this posting and the day
of the big show.
Houston
Texans
Texans
(50:1)
The Texans are the newest team in the NFL but they're
way better than the 50:1 odds they're being given.
If you take a 10 dollar flyer on these youngsters
and they do the unthinkable the payoff is 500 bucks.
I'm here to tell you they've got a better chance then
a shot in the dark. Future star QB David Carr is driving
closer and closer to getting that Future tag removed
from his star title. I know it's just pre-season,
but he's not a scared youngster anymore, he's firing
the ball around the field like he's been there for
years. Watch him blow up this season. He's got some
young skill position guys that have shown more than
just promise. Andre Johnson will show how much he's
grown up since his rookie season and Dominique Davis
will amaze as he did last year. Let's not ignore the
big guys protecting Carr. They improved significantly
last year. If this year shows the same jump in protection
I don't think Carr will get touched. Corey Bradford
and Jabar Gaffney are awesome number 2 and 3 receiving
options for Carr. Bradford always has been an awesome
deep threat with good size and blazing speed averaging
close to 20 yards a catch last year, and Jabar Gaffney
is the team's best route runner. Tight end Billy Miller,
a former wide receiver, is one of the best receiving
tight ends in the league. Watch the Texans run and
gun there way into the playoffs. The Texans defense
has been their strongest unit since their inception
into the league. Aaron Glenn is one of the NFL's best
corners. You could say the same for Jaime Sharper
at outside linebacker. Dunta Robinson is as fast as
advertised and fellow rookie Jason Babin's pass rush
has him penciled in as a key player. The Texans just
might have the perfect combo of veterans and youngsters
to lead them to the Super Bowl. At 50:1, I love the
Texans.

Other
Intriguing Prospects: The Seahawks at 12:1,
the Panthers at 15:1, and the Steelers
at 20:1 are also worth recognizing. The Hawks are
loaded at every position and have shown a confidence
that makes them exciting. The Panthers at 15:1 went
to the Super Bowl last year… and almost beat
the heroic Patriots. The Steelers have 3 amazing wide
receivers and Duce Staley has looked great in the
pre-season. He was underused last year in Philly,
and I'm sure he's out to prove it. Add these three
teams to the list. Take a chance on one of the teams
in my elite eight and come out with a little, or a
lot of pocket cash!
