It didn't take but a few hours for the dust to settle on the New York Giants shocking upset of New England to get Vegas excited about next year's Super Bowl.
The Patriots, who'll be eating humble pie until September, are again the favorite to take home the Vince Lombardi Trophy in January 2009. New England, if they don't leave early, is pegged as a 4-to-1 favorite to claim their fourth title in eight years, according to Bodog.
Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers are among the top three teams in the NFC, sitting at 15/1 odds, thus making them the likely repeat champion of the North. The Giants and Dallas are tabbed as 10/1 favorites.
San Diego (6/1) and Indianapolis (8/1) are the other leading contenders in the AFC.
As for the Packers' divisional challengers, Chicago and Minnesota are given 35/1 odds, while Detroit is at 50/1.
Green Bay, unless quarterback Brett Favre retires or something catastrophic occurs, will no doubt enter next season as the top dog in the North. But throwing out odds and predictions already is like finding fool's gold, what with free agency, the draft and injuries from training camp and the preseason still major hurdles.
