Hehehe...people say to me quite often "how comes you dont support the Rams in the NFL as well as the Rams at soccer" but it dont work like that...anyway mate, rumbled or not, you've got an association there, so thank you for posting....just a damn shame the current St Louis Rams are about as successful as the Rams of last seasons Premiership....

New England Patriots 5/2
Indianapolis Colts 7/1
San Diego Chargers 8/1
Dallas Cowboys 9/1
Jacksonville Jaguars 14/1
New Orleans Saints 20/1
New York Giants 20/1
Philadelphia Eagles 20/1

Minnesota Vikings 25/1
Pittsburgh Steelers 25/1
Cleveland Browns 33/1

Houston Texans 66/1
Baltimore Ravens 80/1
St Louis Rams 80/1
Buffalo Bills 100/1

New York Jets 100/1
Oakland Raiders 100/1
San Francisco 49ers 100/1
Atlanta Falcons 200/1
Miami Dolphins 200/1

On first inspection of these, I would say a standout price is the Minnesota Vikings at 25/1 (prices quoted are Laddies). The Vikings are as low as 16/1 elsewhere and the reason I like this price is twofold :

1. Minnesota have the most explosive RB in the NFL in Adrian Peterson, who will run over many defences this season and will probably end up the leagues #1 TD scorer of the RB's and gain the most yards.

2. There is a saying in the NFL : Offences win you games, Defences win you Championships. Well, Minnesota's Defence is ranked #1, and in the offseason they have strengthened it even more. They are in the weaker NFC, in a pretty weak division, and a shoe in for the post season - a very strong candidate to be the NFC representative in next years SB, and with E/W paying out at half the odds for just getting to the SB, I think Minnesota at the moment are standout.
