All of the
odds that are listed below are based upon Las Vegas odds that were posted
August 26, 2004 and may differ from your favorite Internet Sport Book
Super Bowl odds, which generally gives you even better odds. One thing
is certain though; the odds will undoubtedly change between the time of
this posting and the day of the big show.
Houston
Texans
Texans
(50:1)
The Texans are the newest team in the NFL but they're way better than
the 50:1 odds they're being given. If you take a 10 dollar flyer on these
youngsters and they do the unthinkable the payoff is 500 bucks. I'm here
to tell you they've got a better chance then a shot in the dark. Future
star QB David Carr is driving closer and closer to getting that Future
tag removed from his star title. I know it's just pre-season, but he's
not a scared youngster anymore, he's firing the ball around the field
like he's been there for years. Watch him blow up this season. He's got
some young skill position guys that have shown more than just promise.
Andre Johnson will show how much he's grown up since his rookie season
and Dominique Davis will amaze as he did last year. Let's not ignore the
big guys protecting Carr. They improved significantly last year. If this
year shows the same jump in protection I don't think Carr will get touched.
Corey Bradford and Jabar Gaffney are awesome number 2 and 3 receiving
options for Carr. Bradford always has been an awesome deep threat with
good size and blazing speed averaging close to 20 yards a catch last year,
and Jabar Gaffney is the team's best route runner. Tight end Billy Miller,
a former wide receiver, is one of the best receiving tight ends in the
league. Watch the Texans run and gun there way into the playoffs. The
Texans defense has been their strongest unit since their inception into
the league. Aaron Glenn is one of the NFL's best corners. You could say
the same for Jaime Sharper at outside linebacker. Dunta Robinson is as
fast as advertised and fellow rookie Jason Babin's pass rush has him penciled
in as a key player. The Texans just might have the perfect combo of veterans
and youngsters to lead them to the Super Bowl. At 50:1, I love the Texans.

Super Bowl)
Other Intriguing
Prospects: The Seahawks at 12:1, the Panthers at
15:1, and the Steelers at 20:1 are also worth recognizing. The
Hawks are loaded at every position and have shown a confidence that makes
them exciting. The Panthers at 15:1 went to the Super Bowl last year…
and almost beat the heroic Patriots. The Steelers have 3 amazing wide
receivers and Duce Staley has looked great in the pre-season. He was underused
last year in Philly, and I'm sure he's out to prove it. Add these three
teams to the list. Take a chance on one of the teams in my elite eight
and come out with a little, or a lot of pocket cash!
