NFL Notes: Colts favored next year

One bad pass by Peyton Manning hasn't cost the Indianapolis Colts any cachet.

Manning and the Colts are favored to win next year's Super Bowl, according to odds released Monday by BetUS.com.

Indianapolis is a 7-1 favorite to take home the NFL championship, followed by the Chargers (8-1) and Saints (9-1). The Rams are the longest shot on the board at 150-1.

Browns release WR Stallworth

CLEVELAND — Donte' Stallworth will get the chance to resurrect his NFL career, but it won't happen in Cleveland.

The Browns released the troubled wide receiver on Monday, wasting little time after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Friday that Stallworth would be reinstated following the Super Bowl.

Stallworth was suspended for the 2009 season by Goodell after he pleaded guilty to killing a pedestrian while driving drunk in Florida. He spent 24 days in jail.

In other news:

• The New York Giants have been awarded offensive tackle Herb Taylor off waivers from Denver.

• The Oakland Raiders have hired longtime NFL defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast as an assistant.
