Fans everywhere don't need to wait until the Super Bowl to get their football fix as another exciting Arena Football League season begins this weekend. The Arena League has become very popular with fans and bettors suffering from football withdrawal following the big game. With the AFL's twentieth season kicking off this week, leading online sportsbook Pinnacle Sportsbook has updated odds on all 18 franchises winning Arena Bowl XX.

The largest sports betting site on the Internet, Pinnacle Sportsbook currently lists the San Jose SaberCats as early 4/1 favorites to win their third league championship in five years. The reigning AFL champion Colorado Crush are listed with the second best odds to repeat as Arena Bowl champs at 13/2 odds along with last year's runner-up Georgia Force. After finishing their first season with one of the best defenses in the AFL, Pinnacle Sportsbook believes Nashville will improve this season, listing the Kats at 7/1 to capture their first league championship. Following a narrow overtime defeat in the American Conference Championship to Colorado, the Chicago Rush (8/1) are solid contenders to win Arena Bowl XX.

Other teams that could surprise and make a serious championship push include; Orlando Predators (19/2), Tampa Bay Storm (10/1), New York Dragons (12/1), Dallas Desperados (13/1) and Jon Bon Jovi's Philadelphia Soul (14/1). Meanwhile, Pinnacle Sportsbook lists Austin (100/1), Columbus (100/1) and Grand Rapids (120/1) as distant long shots with nearly no chance of winning the Arena Bowl.

Pinnacle Sportsbook will offer betting on every AFL game throughout the entire 2006 season including sides, totals, moneylines, and props. The company is also currently offering regular season win totals on all 18 AFL franchises. For more information and a complete list of odds, please visit www.Pinnacle Sportsbook.
