Chargers the Early Favorite for Next Year's Super Bowl

Already tired of talking about Tony Dungy and Peyton Manning? Then let's talk about next year. One Web site has already posted betting odds for the winner of Super Bowl XLII, and the early favorites are Marty Schottenheimer's San Diego Chargers. It seems that Vegas likes the Chargers, with 6-1 odds, because the nucleus of the 2006 squad is back, and the Chargers were the best team in the league during the 2006 regular season.
The Colts (7-1) and Bears (8-1) are next, according to the oddsmakers. That makes sense, although the Colts are not in very good salary cap shape and the Bears have a great big question mark at quarterback.
Several teams are tied for the longest odds, at 100-1: Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, Oakland, San Francisco and Tampa Bay. Anything can happen in the NFL, but betting on those teams, even at 100-1, seems like throwing money away.
