PINNACLE SPORTS POSTS ODDS ON COLTS UNDEFEATED SEASON

WILLEMSTAD, CURACAO (November 9, 2006)—After beating New England Sunday night, the Indianapolis Colts remain the only undefeated team in the NFL at the season’s midpoint. Now that Peyton Manning and the Colts have beaten their nemesis, talk of Indianapolis challenging the 1972 Dolphins as the only team to finish the regular season unbeaten has gathered pace.

With the Colts inching closer to making history, PinnacleSports.com today announced updated odds on Indianapolis finishing undefeated as well as odds on when the team will suffer its first loss, if at all.

The largest spots betting site on the Internet, Pinnacle Sports originally opened odds on the Colts finishing a perfect 16-0 at odds of
20/1 and become the first team since the 1972 Dolphins to finish with an unblemished regular season record. Now that Indianapolis have survived difficult road games against the Broncos and Patriots, the odds on Manning and the Colts finishing with a perfect season stands at just 6/1. The odds that Indy will simply be another team unable to match the record-holding Dolphins stand as a 1/7 favorite.

In addition to posting odds on the Colts going undefeated in the regular season, PinnacleSports.com has calculated odds on which of Indy’s remaining eight games will see the team’s first loss. The oddsmakers currently list the Colts’ trip to Dallas on November 19th as a 2/1 favorite to become Indianapolis’ first regular season loss. Other teams most likely to deal the Colts their first loss in 2006 include Buffalo (5/1), Philadelphia (6/1) and Jacksonville (7/1).

“While no NFL team has finished with an undefeated season in 34 years, the Colts have already overcome their major roadblocks en route to finishing a perfect 16-0 this year. Indianapolis has survived trips to Denver and New England and faces only one team in their final eight games that currently owns a better than .500 record (Jacksonville),” said Simon Noble of PinnacleSports.com. “With their remaining opponents holding a combined
26-38 record, Indianapolis going undefeated at 6/1 represents unprecedented value to bettors. Of course things could get very interesting on the season’s final day if the disappointing Dolphins are the final obstacle standing in the way of the Colts matching Miami’s perfect, 1972 season.”

ODDS ARE DENNIS GREEN WILL BE FIRST NFL COACHING CASUALTY PinnacleSports.com Announces Updated Odds On First NFL Head Coach To Lose His Job

WILLEMSTAD, CURACAO (October 25, 2006)—We’re only seven weeks into the NFL season and already the contenders have begun to separate themselves from the pretenders. Several head coaches are already starting to feel the heat as their teams are failing to meet pre-season expectations. With a number of teams off to a slow start, PinnacleSports.com today announced updated odds on which current NFL coach will be the first to lose his job.

The largest sports betting site on the Internet, PinnacleSports.com has created individual odds on 12 NFL head coaches becoming the first coaching casualty this season. After following up a choke job of historic proportions on Monday Night versus Chicago, with a loss last Sunday to the lowly Raiders, it’s no surprise that Arizona’s Dennis Green is the odds-on favorite to become the first coach to get his walking papers at 1/1 odds (i.e., win $1 for every $1 bet). While only in his second year at the helm, Romeo Crennel (7/1) might be on the verge of losing his job in Cleveland as the team continues to falter and just this week, offensive coordinator Maurice Carthon resigned. Although widely considered the worst team in the NFL, Art Shell (8/1) may get some leeway from Al Davis in Oakland knowing that the team is in full rebuilding mode. With a shocking
1-6 start to the season, the playoff aspirations in Miami are all but gone and PinnacleSports.com now lists the chances of the previously unthinkable firing of Nick Saban at 9/1.

“Several media reports already indicate that unless Arizona wins at Green Bay this weekend, Dennis Green might not make it through the team’s Week 9 bye as head coach of the Cardinals,” said Simon Noble of PinnacleSports.com. “If blowing a 20-point halftime lead on Monday Night Football and exploding at the post-game press conference weren’t enough, Arizona were then dominated by the previously winless Raiders – a sure sign that Green’s days are numbered. The race to become the first NFL coaching casualty would even be hotly contested without Green in the equation as Crennel, Shell and Saban all appear to be firmly headed for the chopping block.”

The oddsmakers at PinnacleSports.com list Buffalo’s Dick Jauron at 11/1 odds to get his walking papers first, even though he’s only in his first season leading the Bills. Veteran coaches Jeff Fisher (13/1) and Joe Gibbs
(13/1) are also solid candidates to become the first coaching casualty this season as their teams have combined for a total of just three wins.
San Francisco’s Mike Nolan and Detroit’s Rod Marinelli, who are in the midst of rebuilding projects with their teams, have both been listed at 15/1. Although Tampa Bay has rallied for back-to-back wins after starting
0-5 this year, PinnacleSports.com still lists head coach Jon Gruden at
24/1 to become the first coach to get his pink slip this year. Meanwhile, head coach of the reigning Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers, Bill Cowher and first year coach Mike McCarthy of Green Bay, are both listed as long shots to be the first coaching casualty at 31/1.
