Wearing designer jeans, a leather jacket and looking like he just walked out of a Beverly Hills hair salon, John Elway smiled winningly, shaking hands and offering quick quips as he breezed through.

Sitting on the board at 12/1 in July, the Eagles quickly became a Vegas favorite to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy after shelling out big-time bucks to acquire cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, defensive end Jason Babin and a host of other high-profile athletes.
