    As we enter Week 8, a couple teams stand out on the latest Super Bowl odds board from the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook.

    These are teams that could see their value rise dramatically in November and December, compared to their current prices.

    NEW YORK GIANTS 40/1

    Is there any team above .500 flying more under the radar than the G-Men?

    Besides a bad loss at Minnesota, they've been in position to win every game.  

    Can we not see fourth-round pick Dak Prescott hitting a wall and the inevitable change to Tony Romo affecting the Cowboys' chemistry?

    Philly also is banking on a rookie QB.

    Washington's recent success was predicated on running back Matt Jones dictating things in second halves. After two fumbles in Week 7, he might not have his coaches' confidence anymore.

    The Giants could steal this division. And history says that when they get in, they're a force to be reckoned with.

    PITTSBURGH STEELERS 16/1

    The value on the Steelers may dissolve if Big Ben isn't able to return from his knee injury soon.

    Quarterback Landry Jones' ineffectiveness against the Patriots may be a sign of more hideous performances to come. Yet, the AFC North will not run away from them with the Ravens and Bengals looking unimpressive.

    The likelihood of Pittsburgh winning the division and hosting a wild card game is high. Could we see the same pathway as last year, with the Steelers having to travel to Denver in the second round?

    Furthermore, an AFC championship game against the Patriots could be in store. Missed opportunities from Jones in Week 7 and last year's competitive Week 1 loss could help the Steelers draft a blueprint to upset the Pats.
