Pretty good job by FoxSports on these. The SI and ESPN rankings have been pretty reactionary.

CBS just posted theirs as well:

This one seems a bit shortsighted.

And finally ESPN has chimed in:

Seems right...

Seems right...

Early lines have Steelers favored by 6.5 this week.

yep, not sure if i buy the eagles that high though. they have a soft schedule with the exception of the saints (who thrashed 'em). i guess by record they'll look good. i dont know... just not sold on them

lol it is funny how they call Troy the "hairy all-pro safety"

Vegas has the Eagles at 8-1 odds to win the Super Bowl. Seems a bit off.

yea.. i guess i should put in an asterisk to help justify what i was saying:
* theyre early schedule is soft (making them look good) but looking at weeks 7 on will be a bit of a challenge. i dont really see them as SB contenders. well not this early anyway...

There is no way in hell I'd pick them to win the superbowl at 8-1 odds.

Arizona Cardinals 40-1
Atlanta Falcons 20-1
Baltimore Ravens 6-1
Buffalo Bills 125-1
Carolina Panthers 80-1
Chicago Bears 24-1
Cincinnati Bengals 45-1
Cleveland Browns 1000-1
Dallas Cowboys 15-1
Denver Broncos 50-1
Detroit Lions 400-1
Green Bay Packers 16-1
Houston Texans 60-1
Indianapolis Colts 8-1
Jacksonville Jaguars 60-1
Kansas City Chiefs 500-1
Miami Dolphins 100-1
Minnesota Vikings 12-1
New England Patriots 6.5-1
New Orleans Saints 6.5-1
New York Giants 7-1
New York Jets 15-1
Oakland Raiders 500-1
Philadelphia Eagles 8-1
Pittsburgh Steelers 10-1
St. Louis Rams 1000-1
San Diego Chargers 10-1
San Francisco 49ers 280-1
Seattle Seahawks 50-1
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1000-1
Tennessee Titans 50-1
Washington Redskins 100-1

If I had to pick from this list based on getting good odds...I go with the Vikings or the Titans. I think neither will win, but based on their odds it might be worth the chance.

Maybe if the Vikings win the SB Favre will leave forever...

I think Favre will try to play until he is physically unable able to run onto a football field. I look at Favre and see a guy with not much other than playing football. He's not real bright and probably wouldn't make a very good announcer or analyst. Once he retires from football he really doesn't have much he can do beside mow his lawn and just hang out. That sounds good to a lot of us, but I think it sounds like hell to Favre.

I think Favre just feels he can still play the game... People are just tired of his indecisiveness regarding retirement. I think Favre would be content with retirement and probably spend lots of time hunting and 4 wheeling. It's just annoying when he takes over the news headlines every year.
