Worked up a little cheatsheet for myself to pour over for my pre-season bets, thought I'd share it here for those interested. This is as of 7/24/08. Oddsmakers seem pretty stingy, but you can expect atleast a couple surprise division winners out of each conference, one of which will probably have really nice odds....the hard part is identifying which team that could be

I always find it interesting where Vegas puts teams before the season, and it tells you a ton more than ESPN ever could.

Team: Odds To Win Division (over/under total: over odds, under odds)

For those of you that don't understand odds (some folks are confused by it, and understandably), -120 for instance means you would have to bet $120 to win $100, +105 means if you bet $100 you would win $105. So looking at, Dallas for instance, the odds are 10-11 of them winning the NFC East, if you bet $135 on them to win over 10.5 games and were correct, you would win $100. If you bet $100 on them to win under 10.5 games and were correct, you'd win $105 (in addition of course to your $100 wager).
