No its be in not win. The Pats are the odds on favorite to get to the big dance. As for the numbers I think they are odds. If I read it right betting on the Pats will get you $450 for every buck you bet if they get to the Superbowl. The Rams are 10 grand to 1.

What I can't understand is how last years SB champs can be ranked ninth.

That can't be right. You figure you put 5 bucks on every team. That is 32 teams which = $160 bucks. No matter who gets there - even at the "worst" odds - a Patriots vs Packers SB - would net you $2250 for the Patriots and $3000 for the Packers for a total of $5250. That would be the LOWEST payout you would win. If it was a Bucs vs Colts SB - you would be looking at a $100k payday.... Either one for a cost of $160.

Now granted I don't bet - but something there just doesn't make sense. If this IS how it works - someone please tell me where to lay my bets! Its guaranteed money.

I don't know if that site will let you bet 32 times. More likely just once.

The second one is eaiser to understand for me stating simply that if I put down $1.00
for San Diego and they win the super bowl I get $25.00 back for each dollar I put down.

Not that I would gamble of course, but if I did you would probably have to do it in Vegas or somwhere like that.

I'm sorry, but there are actual odds that the Lombardi Trophy isn't coming back to Titletown?

You mean Dallas? God, I hope not.
