Odds-making is not an official, or really accurate look at which teams are better than others. It's about Vegas evening out their money to make profit. With the early line out, if you think the Ravens will win the Super Bowl, you can get twenty times more than you put down. That's because the Ravens, in the betting world, are just as likely to win it all in the 2012 season as the Cowboys and the Jets.

What are your thoughts on the list?

I am not an NFL historian, but I don't believe the loser of the Super Bowl has ever won the Super Bowl the next year. Not even sure if they made it to the Super Bowl the next year.

It never stops. I cant stand it lol. I feel its just disrespectful.
I guess theyre expecting us to drop off because we're on a 4 year playoff streak. Alot of teams cant do that sorta thing. Especially 5.

Eagles 6-1? Really? Ha.

The Falcons have better odds than the Ravens too? Call me when Matt Ryan wins a playoff game first.

Maybe it has something to do with the "Just can't seem to get it done" factor.

Then the Steelers would have worse odds than us, their past three seasons have been just as - if not more so - disappointing than ours.

That describes the Eagles' entire franchise. But they're pretty high up the list despite not making the playoffs and having a colossal failure of a season.

Wow, I am seriously considering driving to vegas just to put some money on the Ravens odds for next years SB. 20-1 is crazy high, I thought we would be in the 12-1 range which is still kinda high considering our recent success as a franchise.

Not sure about the first part, but the 2nd isn't true. The Bills made it to 4 straight...losing each time. To me, that'd be unimaginable

I think I saw Fox Sports "really too early Super Bowl prediction" was like Ravens 27 Packers 24. It is incredibly early but at least someone is giving us the credit we deserve.

i don't care what the lines are they are usually way off sometimes. I hope we are always underdogs since we seem to play better then.

My father is a Bills fan and he says it was the worse because he felt it was their year everytime. I mean they should have one at least one of them. It was the golden but also unlucky years for the Bills. I am sure now the Bills would like to have the domicance they once had.
