If you don't reside in Nevada, please ignore this post.

For those who are in a locale where sports gambling is legal, BetUS.com has forwarded us some odds for this weekend's playoff games. Follow the jump to check out the Giants-Cowboys odds, including a couple that seem like easy money to me.

Easy money in bold (with explanation in parentheses).

NEW YORK

Odds on the Tom Coughlin returning next season: If Giants win: 2/5 If Giants lose: 4/7

Odds on Eli Manning having more passing yards than Peyton: 2/1

Odds on fans booing Eli Manning: 7/4 (Are you kidding?! The game is at Texas Stadium!! Every Giant will get booed!!!)

Odds on a player running to the star at the 50-yd line after a TD: 3/1

Eli Manning wins SB MVP: 20/1

Eli seen at dinner with Jessica Simpson after game? 500/1

Eli Manning over/under passing yards: 220.5

Plaxico Burress over/under receiving yards: 65.5

Spread: +7½ at 5/6

MoneyLine: 13/5

Total Points: Over 46 at 10/11

Team Over/Under: Over 20 at 1/1 and Under 20 at 4/5

DALLAS:

Odds on Jessica Simspon in attendance: Yes -115 no -115

Jessica Simpson wears a Tony Romo jersey during game: Yes -140 no +110

Odds Tony Romo botches a FG snap attempt: 50/1 (There is zero chance that Romo will both a FG snap, because there is zero chance he'll be used as a holder. That's Brad Johnson's gig, and if he somehow gets hurt, Mat McBriar will fill in.)

Tony Romo over/under passing pass yards: 270.5

TO over/under receiving yards: 85.5

Spread: -7½ at 1/1

MoneyLine: 3/10

Total Points: Under 46 at 10/11

How can we bet on the game when Breer tells us DeMarcus missed practice...and then doesn't tell us why!!! Tim, Breer, Archer, someone, anyone...what the hell is going on?

You guys should check out the ESPN.com story about Clayton Holmes. Really sad.
