FLOWERY BRANCH  -  After four games, the Falcons don’t look like Super Bowl contenders any more, according to our gaming pals in Las Vegas at bovada.lv.

The Falcons (1-3) face the New York Jets (2-2) at 8:40 p.m. tonight on "Monday Night Football" at the Georgia Dome.

At the outset of the season, the Falcons, after going 13-3 and reaching the NFC championship game last season, were considered Super Bowl contenders. They were given 12-to-1 odds by Las Vegas oddsmakers. Last week, the odds were dropped to 33-to-1.

At least, they are not Jacksonville, who were taken off the board at 5,000-to-1 entirely.

NFC teams Seattle ( 9-to-2), New Orleans (9-1), San Francisco (12-1), Green Bay (14-1) Chicago (28-1) and Dallas (28-1) all have better odds than the Falcons.
