Patriots not seen in Vegas as repeat team Associated Press LAS VEGAS -- Even as the New England Patriots celebrated their Super Bowl title, Las Vegas oddsmakers are betting there won't be a repeat. The St. Louis Rams, beaten 20-17 by the Patriots on Sunday, were installed Monday as the favorite to win the 2003 Super Bowl. "No doubt about it, we have the Rams by far the clear favorite, at 3-1," said Jay Kornegay race and sports book director at the Imperial Palace hotel-casino. The Patriots are tied with the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts on the Imperial Palace board at 15-1. "There's just no respect for the Patriots," Kornegay said. "And the Patriots aren't really a public team that people like to play. We don't get too much money on the Patriots." Kornegay noted that loyalty pushes high profile teams like the Oakland Raiders and the Broncos to the top of the betting favorites list. While odds varied along the Las Vegas Strip on Monday, respect for the Rams appeared solid. Bally's-Paris also has the Rams favored but at slightly longer odds, 9-2, to win next year. The Patriots opened at 10-1. The Stardust hotel-casino has the Patriots at 8-1. The Stardust's future book line opened with the Rams at 3-1, the Pittsburgh Steelers at 7-1, and the Raiders at 8-1. "The Rams are definitely looked upon as the team to beat," Joe Lupo, oddsmaker at the Stardust said. "That number wouldn't have changed whether they won yesterday or not." The expansion Houston Texans are listed at 200-1 by the Stardust to win next year's Super Bowl, according to Lupo.
