City outsiders to win the Championship

Last updated : 08 August 2008 By Smallsy
BRISTOL City will be hoping to quite literally beat the odds this season as they kick off the Championship season.

City were not fancied by many last year but still made the playoffs and the early season odds suggest that the club are once again being written off. Odds courtesy of skybet.com suggest that Bristol will be outsiders, pricing the playoff finalist at 20/1 for the title with Birmingham (6/1) and Reading (9/1) fancied to be alongside big spending QPR (6/1) at the top of the league.

City's first opponents Blackpool are 100/1 outsiders to win the league.
