Former Oregon head coach Chip Kelly pulled the trigger and decided to make the jump to the NFL. As a result, sports books here in Las Vegas are expecting bettors to pull the trigger on the Philadelphia Eagles to win the 2014 Super Bowl. Less than sixty minutes after the story broke that Kelly was headed to Philadelphia, the Wynn sports book adjusted the Eagles’ 2014 Super Bowl odds from 30-1 to 22-1, Wynn Director of Race & Sports Johnny Avello told the National Football Post on Wednesday. Chip Kelly's hiring is already making an impact in Las Vegas. Shortly thereafter, the LVH SuperBook adjusted Philadelphia from 50-1 to 30-1, per LVH Director of Race & Sports Jay Kornegay.

They're going the wrong way. Casual fans just see the name chip Kelly and assume he's going to be good because they know the name. They don't think about how he really fits in the NFL.
