I declined a speedy on this, as not fitting into any speedy category, , but we do not have any articles of the same nature for other seasons, and I am not at all sure whether we ought to. Compare the article 2009 NFL season which represents the standard way we do this. I have no personal opinion--I leave it to the people who know the subject to reach a consensus. (If the consensus is that we should include odds, the question would then be whether to merge this back to the article for the season, or have a separate article. Again, I have no personal opinion.), FWIW, no actual odds seem to have yet been added, even for the games that have been played. DGG ( talk ) 19:11, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete, the odds change over short time scales at the discretion of the bookmakers, and this would fall under WP:NOT#DIR point 4 as far a deletion rational. Point 4 says Wikipedia is not, "Directories, directory entries, electronic program guide, or a resource for conducting business." Abductive (reasoning) 19:59, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete, adding odds is quite unencyclopedic, and Wikipedia isn't a television directory. Nyttend (talk) 00:52, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
  • Question are there closing odds, and, if so, would it be possible to add them season articles? DGG ( talk ) 23:14, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete - the odds are set by bookmakers and fluctuate based on betting. There's no real reason to have this. -- Whpq (talk) 16:12, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete, article is not needed, odds are not encyclopedic in nature. StryyderG (talk) 22:50, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete - Completely unencyclopaedic. – PeeJay 00:24, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
