Sounds good to me, since I am going to plop some money down on the Birds to win the division.

I'm thinking 20-1 to win the SB is worth a $20 bet.

What is amazing is that our entire division is in the top half of the odds. Just shows the respect out there for the NFC East

[Jukin]

Any odds on the division? I'll probably throw $100 on them to win the SB but if I can get decent odds on the division I'll kick in for $500 more for that.

Current odds are 3-1.

i wonder if any other division has any no team less than 3-1 to win that division?

From a pure gambling perspective the divisional odds make no sense. If the three teams ahead of us have such short odds to winning the division, then by default we should have long odds. At least that's the way I think it should work because I want to make some money.

No, that's not how it works. It's not as if all odds have to add up to 1:1 probability. They're setting the odds to take as much money as possible. Because at 3-1 people will still bet the Eagles.
