So we know for sure that Brett Favre is back for his 20th season in the NFL. The Minnesota Vikings are paying Favre an extra $3.5 million to come back, bumping his 2010 salary to $16.5 million, plus added incentives. Vikings coach Brad Childress even picked Favre up at the airport. Now you know why quarterbacks are the feature attractions when it comes to football betting.

Believe it or not, the NHL betting season will be here before you know it, so lets take a look at some early futures odds – NHL Style!
Thanks largely in part to the Ilya Kovalchuk fiasco, the NHL free agent frenzy has slowed to a crawl over the last few weeks. That means now is probably an ideal time to take a deep breath and assess the current Stanley Cup odds.
Chicago Blackhawks
Stanley Cup odds: +500
So far, books aren’t downgrading the Hawks even though they seem to lose another piece of their Stanley Cup-winning team every day. They’ve already said goodbye to Kris Versteeg, Dustin Byfuglien, Andrew Ladd and John Madden. But, fact of the matter is, some guys named Toews, Kane, Keith, Seabrook, Hossa and Sharp are still running the show. Chicago remains the team to beat.
Washington Capitals
Stanley Cup odds: +600
This is a team that frustrates me again and again at every trade deadline and during every free agency period. The Caps have so much firepower yet repeatedly fail to address their glaring need for defensive stability and perhaps even better goaltending. They won’t get my bet until they do so.
Pittsburgh Penguins
Stanley Cup odds: +600
The Pens have a great shot to represent the East in the final again this year. They lost Sergei Gonchar but may have actually improved on the back end with Paul Martin and Zbynek Michalek coming to town. They may still acquire another winger to play with Sidney Crosby as well. 
New Jersey Devils
Stanley Cup odds: +1500
Most books currently list the Devils with the same odds as L.A., Vancouver, and Philadelphia. That’s good company. Clearly, everyone expects Lou Lamoriello to figure out the salary cap conundrum and keep Ilya Kovalchuk in a restructured deal.
Los Angeles Kings
Stanley Cup odds: +1500
These guys are the next Chicago Blackhawks. This blog correctly predicted the Kings’ ascension into postseason play a year ago; it was bound to happen with the likes of Doughty, Kopitar, and Johnson leading the youth movement. Now, the Kings have potential to grow even more. Brayden Schenn, Thomas Hickey and Jonathan Bernier could become viable NHLers or the Kings could ship one of them to land another elite scorer. Tomas Kaberle? Marian Gaborik?
Tampa Bay Lightning
Stanley Cup odds: +3000
The Lightning were among the league’s busiest teams this offseason. First, they signed Steve Yzerman as their new general manager. Then, under his tutelage, they acquired Simon Gagne to join a strong offense that already included Steven Stamkos, Martin St. Louis and Vinny Lecavalier. Dan Ellis will bring stability in goal as well. Given how mediocre the Eastern Conference was last year, Tampa could return to the postseason.
San Jose Sharks
Stanley Cup odds: +900
The Sharks still have the fifth-best odds to win the Cup in most books but it’s been years since they ranked that low, hasn’t it? It seems bettors and books are almost ready to give up on this talented group that always seems to choke in the playoffs. If you’re looking for value, however, it’s worth noting that (a) The Sharks re-upped the only two guys who had great playoffs in 2009, Patrick Marleau and Joe Pavelski, with long-term deals. And Evgeni Nabokov’s departure for the KHL may be addition by subtraction.
Montreal Canadiens
Stanley Cup odds: +3000
The books have made their message loud and clear: you should’ve kept Jaroslav Halak and traded Carey Price, Montreal. It may seem strange for a conference finalist’s odds to plummet to the middle of the pack but, let’s face it, Halak carried the Habs in the playoffs and he doesn’t play for them anymore.
Colorado Avalanche
Stanley Cup odds: +6000
Ouch. After qualifying for the playoffs and showing real promise as a young team, the Avs now have the same odds as the Toronto Maple Leafs. I suppose oddsmakers think their situation is like Montreal’s in that a goalie, Craig Anderson, influenced their success. Don’t believe that. Colorado has some legit young talent on board with Matt Duchene, Chris Stewart, Paul Stastny and Peter Mueller leading the charge. It could be even better this year.
Shea Matthews lives and breathes sports. He made the transition from athlete to sports journalist at a young age, writing in TV & national newspapers. He now applies his knowledge to sports betting and handicapping every day, and shares his winning picks with the world.

Hard to believe it’s almost August and the NFL preseason will be starting up soon. I think that means it’s time for an updated look at the contenders, agreed?
Here are the top 15 based on odds.
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
Super Bowl XLV odds: +925
On one hand, Peyton Manning is bound to start showing signs of age some time soon. On the other, he arguably has his deepest group of receiving targets he’s ever had. So maybe the sky is still the limit.
SAN DIEGO CHARGERS
Super Bowl XLV odds: +925
Even with Vincent Jackson suspended and set to hold out for up to 10 games, the Chargers still lead the way along with Indy. That’s the beauty of life in the AFC West. And Ryan Mathews should be an upgrade over LaDainian Tomlinson at this stage of his career.
DALLAS COWBOYS
Super Bowl XLV odds: +1015
As long as Dallas can play strong “D” and rush the passer for a full season and not half a season like it did in 2009, this year could be special. Tony Romo has a fantastic group of weapons around him that should only get better with Felix Jones possibly starting and Dez Bryant joining the receiving corps. The Cowboys could be the NFL’s top offensive team this year.
BALTIMORE RAVENS
Super Bowl XLV odds: +1015
The Ravens may be my pick to win it all – because of their offense, believe it or not. Joe Flacco keeps maturing, Ray Rice could be the league MVP this year and Anquan Boldin just makes B-More all that more dangerous. But is the defense too long in the tooth? That’s the big question.
GREEN BAY PACKERS
Super Bowl XLV odds: +1015
I think it’s between the Packers and Cowboys to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. Aaron Rodgers is the game’s next great superstar and years of good drafting has turned the Pack’s defense into an elite unit. The key this year is for the O-line to do a better job protecting Rodgers. Brian Bulaga will help – but will he help right away?
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
Super Bowl XLV odds: +1215
This is a fool’s bet if you ask me. Tom Brady is aging and you never know when Randy Moss will mentally check out of New England.
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
Super Bowl XLV odds: +1215
Strange to see New Orleans’ betting support dwindling when it really hasn’t lost much from its championship team. Is it the Madden Curse? More likely, it’s that the defense sagged in the second half of 2009.
MINNESOTA VIKINGS
Super Bowl XLV odds: +1215
I still think this is the most talent-rich team in football. No team has as many playmakers on both sides of the ball as Minnesota does. Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin, Sidney Rice, Jared Allen, the Williams Wall…the list goes on. But the Brett Favre fiasco will bite the Vikings in the behind this season – even if he plays.
NEW YORK JETS
Super Bowl XLV odds: +1615
Am I missing something? If I was the oddsmaker, I’d rank the Jets no lower than fourth. They’re loaded with high-priced talent. And for Mark Sanchez distracters: love him or hate him, the Jets still made the AFC Championship game in his rookie season. Now he has a year of experience and more weapons around him. What’s not to like?
PITTSBURGH STEELERS
Super Bowl XLV odds: +2250
Is this another fool’s bet? Sure, the Steelers still probably have a top-three NFL defense and Rashard Mendenhall definitely looks ready to be a workhorse back all season. But won’t Ben Roethlisberger’s absence leave them in a hole before he returns? We’ll see.
ATLANTA FALCONS
Super Bowl XLV odds: +2550
Of the mid-range contenders, I may like Atlanta’s upside the best. Matt Ryan is a winner and a real student of the game. He should improve dramatically in his third season.
NEW YORK GIANTS
Super Bowl XLV odds: +2250
The Giants could definitely bounce back this year. Eli Manning is getting better at protecting the ball and his current receiving corps is easily his best ever. Hakeem Nicks could break out in 2010.
WASHINGTON REDSKINS
Super Bowl XLV odds: +2250
Do you really want to throw down on Washington when a defending division champ like Cincinnati gives you more value? Mike Shanahan is out for redemption but the ’Skins seem cursed to me. And they’re just so…damned….old.
TENNESSEE TITANS
Super Bowl XLV odds: +2550
The Titans are an intriguing sleeper to me. They run the ball like crazy and Vince Young suddenly looked like a winner in 2010. But how will he fare now that the pressure is on?
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
Super Bowl XLV odds: +3050
This bet depends on how much you believe in Kevin Kolb. He topped 300 yards in both his starts last year but he also turned over the ball a lot. The Eagles should at the very least be fun to watch thanks to Andy Reid, who is statistically the most pass-happy playcaller ever to coach in the NFL.

Hard to believe we’re almost a third of the way through the Major League Baseball season. That means it’s probably time to revisit World Series futures.
Who are the top contenders? Risers? Fallers?
The Preakness Stakes is set to run this Saturday at Pimlico in Baltimore, Maryland and again, talk will begin about a Triple Crown winner, a feat not achieved since Affirmed turned the trick back in 1978.
Super Saver took the Kentucky Derby a few weeks ago, so the question is, will the colt end a 30-something year drought in 2010?
