We don't talk much about gambling because, well, we're all about the game itself. What you people do on your own time, with your own money, or with our analysis, is up to you.

 

If you knew what we did with our free time ... well, let's just say that's between us and the Dungeons & Dragons communty.

 

With that said, the folks from Bodog sent us some information today about Tom Brady's injury, saying that it's the single most impactful injury they've ever seen, as evidenced by the movement of bettor's money and the way it utterly re-arranged the Super Bowl odds.

 

“There never has been one injury, so early in the season, that has affected football and a team’s chance of winning more than the Tom Brady injury," said Bodog sports book manager Richard Gardener. "That a team like Indianapolis can go out and play terrible at home and have their odds reduced because of one injury is unprecedented. "

 

Several teams jumped up the list of Super Bowl favorites, as the Patriots tumbled down it. (You can compare the pre- and post-injury lists below.)

 

The Patriots should still make the playoffs, according to the Bodog folks, but are now considered the sixth or seventh best team in their conference ("until Matt Cassel proves differently," said Gardner).

 

The Patriots were prohibitive favorites as of Sunday morning, often at 2 to 1 odds, to win the Super Bowl. Bodog, for its part, had the Patriots listed at 7 to 2 odds Sunday morning. Today, Bodog has New England listed at 20 to 1, behind such powers as the N.Y. Jets (4-12 last year), who the Patriots face Sunday in the Meadowlands.

 

Dallas leaps into the No. 1 spot, at 4 to 1 odds to win the Super Bowl.
