The Carolina Panthers 2008 odds are among the best when we consider that the NFC South is always up for grabs each year and the teams all seem to alternate. Last year, it was the Tampa Bay Bucs who won the division.

This year, the Panthers are looking good, even if the New Orleans Saints are looking better in the eyes of odds makers. Carolina always seems like a team that in any given year can make it deep into the Playoffs, but never does.

betED.com had the Carolina Panthers with +6000 odds to win the 2009 Super Bowl. That's a $6000 payout for every $100 bet. Following last year's improbable win by the huge underdog New York Giants, betting on teams like the Panthers to win the Super Bowl is likely to sky rocket.

The Panthers would pay out $1800 for every $100 bet if they were to win the 2009 NFC Championship. A division win would pay 2 to 1 odds or $200 for every $100 bet.

Here is the big scoop on Carolina this year. Oddsmakers at betED.com have made the Panthers a -170 favorite to win 8 games or more. In the NFC South, around 8 wins could actually result in a Division victory.

James Alder of About.com:

Head coach John Fox and General manager Marty Hurney are clearly on the hot seat after failing to reach the playoffs for the second consecutive season, so they were aggressive in free agency and the draft. They also dropped disappointing running back DeShaun Foster and linebacker Dan Morgan.

The biggest factor in this team's success, however, will be in recapturing the connection between Delhomme and Smith, reestablishing one of the more dangerous quarterback/wide receiver combinations in the league. If they can keep the pair on the field the majority of the season and the defense turns it back up a notch, the Panthers should challenge for a playoff spot.

Iowa State: Are They The Underdogs To Look For In March Madness?

They may be defined as “underdogs” or “Cinderella teams”, a term that is usually saved for teams that have little to no chance of winning even a single game during the NCAA Tournament. Teams like Loyola Marymount (1990), George Mason (2006), Davidson (2008), VCU (2011), UConn (2014), and Loyola Chicago (2018) come to mind when conversations turn toward the most surprising tournament runs in recent memory.
