McNabb arrives, Skins' Super Bowl odds spike
Two things were inevitable today, not counting thousands of drunk Philadelphia fans near the Navy Yard: video of Donovan McNabb landing at the airport, and new Redskins Super Bowl odds.
Before they traded for Donovan McNabb, the Skins were 55-1 to win the Super Bowl, according to Bodog. Now, they're 30-1.
Before they traded McNabb away, the Eagles were 16-1 to win the Super Bowl. Now, they're 20-1.
So I guess Vegas thinks the Skins got the better of this deal. They still have the lowest odds in the NFC East.
McNabb's regular season over-under for passing yards is 3,500. Jason Campbell had 3,618 in 16 games a year ago. McNabb's over-under for passing TDs is 20.5. Campbell had 20 a year ago, a career high.
NBC Washington's helicopter video trailing McNabb's limo is below, if you want to debase yourself further. I did. It was fun.

Well they didn't get any worse...Besides it would seem they're looking for a short term fix.

Correction: Vegas thinks the Skins got the better of this deal--for 2010. I don't think anyone would dispute that. The real question is who got the better of this deal in the long term.
