The Dallas Cowboys are currently 14/1 odds to win the 2010 Super Bowl. That’s the Dallas Cowboys with unbelievably unproven Tony Romo, a TO-less group of wideouts and a severe lack of Pac-Man. Of course, those last two are widely perceived as positives in Texas these days, especially with safety Courtney Brown and cornerback Alan Ball looking strong during early team activities.

But seriesoulsly – an NFL Football Betting site actually giving 14/1 odds – that’s crazy. Hell, the Giants, who finished 3 games ahead of the Cowboys, are 10/1. This is just a poor bet. There are safer “sure things” and better gambles with longer odds. Are you telling me you’re willing to take a chance with Romo tossing to Roy Williams and Patrick Crayton? Sorry, I’ve seen what these guys can do, and it’s not win a Super Bowl. Add Witten and Barber to the offense and you have a formidable crew, no doubt, but one that painfully lacks that big-time playmaking star. Barber can do it from short range. In fact, the most impressive thing on this team might be the QB depth behind Romo. Don’t laugh, but it’s John Kitna and Brad Johnson.

Speaking of the Giants, do you like those 10/1 odds? I would, if it were to escape the NFC, but not to win it all. This team reeks of fluke so bad they can even smell it in New Jersey.

How can you disagree? They weren’t even the best team in their own division last year, and they haven’t made any significant improvements. Plus Plaxico is more combustible it seems than North Korea.

However, I will give the Giants a football betting chance since they have a strong defense. And if you look at Eli’s numbers throughout last year, you won’t see more than a single game where he topped 300 yards. He’s a smarter passer these days, but not in the Roethlisberger sense, meaning do you believe he really could throw the house down if he needed to? Don’t say that’s not how the team’s built, because last year in the playoffs they sure as hell could’ve used more than 169 yards out of their leader.

Also, take a peek at the Giants schedule…it might be the toughest I’ve seen in decades. They have one easy game by my count. That matters for playoff positioning. And that alone isn’t worth the football odds of 10/1 odds they’ve got going right now.
