Las Vegas Sports Book Predict Perfect Season For the Packers and Patriots

From the Las Vegas Sun:  Neither the New England Patriots nor the Green Bay Packers finished last season the way they wanted.
The New York Giants eliminated both teams from the NFL playoffs. The Patriots fell to the Giants, 21-17, in Super Bowl XLV. The Packers failed to win a game in the postseason, as the Giants soared past them, 37-20, in the NFC Divisional round.
Green Bay and New England have a golden opportunity to bounce back this year, however, according to one prominent Las Vegas sports book. Cantor Gaming lists the Packers and Patriots as favorites in every one of their games for the upcoming season.
Cantor released its full-season NFL lines to much fanfare Wednesday morning. It’s the fourth straight year Cantor has put out odds on every game — with the exception of week 17 contests because of the amount of players who rest in the usually meaningless games — well before the season.
But the release date was nearly two months earlier than normal in 2012, illustrating the demand and attention the NFL draws from bettors.
No teams were favored in every game at Cantor last year. But the Carolina Panthers, who ended up going 6-10 behind Rookie of the Year Quarterback Cam Newton, were underdogs in every game.
This season, Cantor posted the Cleveland Browns as underdogs in all 15 lined games. The Browns went 4-12 last season.

As a Packer fan, I hope their predictions come true, as long as they carry it on to the playoffs.
And I guess it sucks to be a Cleveland Brows fan because they are predicted to lose every game this next season.  The Jacksonville  Jaguars are rated the second worst where they are favored in only 1 game.
The article has the predictions for all the teams. and if you are brave, put up some money before training camps open.
