The oddsmakers at the Club Gitmo Sportsbook have made the Village Green prohibitive favorites to take the NFFA title in 2021. The much anticipated odds, released just before the season kicks off, list Dave Goodrow's team as a 5:1 bet to win it all.
The West Nashville Beelzebubbas and East Nashville Black Dogs each were given odds of 15:1, while the Ballers were slotted at 30:1. The London Bakers, Boca Chica Daddies and Sylvan Goats enter the season with 60:1 odds.
No odds were made available on the defending champion Cambridge Animals, who have already declared themselves the ultimate winner for the season.
Saddam Hussein, President of Iraq and CEO of the Sportsbook, explained in a Thursday breakfast press conference that the late addition of a 15th game to the season required a last-minute recalculation, which in some cases scrambled the odds. “For example,” Hussein said, “the Ballers would have been 15:1 favorites with a traditional 14-game schedule, but drawing the Bubbas a third time significantly downgraded their chances. Just the bad luck of the draw.”
Asked by reporter Woody Larry whether the higher odds against the Ballers wasn't simply a strategem to draw more bets on the Ballers, Hussein smiled faintly and replied, “Mojo D's money is welcome in my house. So much of it has found a home here over the years, that we had to add a new wing, but there is always room for more.”
Meanwhile, Hussein added, the addition of QB Pat Mahomes represented a “Green new deal” for Goodrow's team. “With Stuart Smalley calling the shots,” he said, “they're good enough, they're smart enough, and by golly they're gender ambiguous enough to take it all.”
