The Swiss has the experience but the pressure is on as favourite and Murray may spring yet another big surprise.

The Scot is in the form of his life, has beaten Federer twice before and is high on confidence, so take a punt on him to win his first title.

Paddy himself said: "We estimate Andy reaching the final will increase betting interest in the match by as much as 40% as people rush to get on.

"This could be the beginning of Murray mania. If he goes all the way there are a few who will be Murray-minted!"

Murray 4/1 for top award

Paddy Power are offering 4/1 for Andy Murray to win this year's BBC Sports Personality award ahead of his US Open final clash with Roger Federer.

The Scot has also been cut from 14/1 to 10/1 to win the 2009 Wimbledon title and is 100/1 to be knighted in the New Year's Honours List.

Paddy himself said: "Should Murray take his first grand slam title, accolades and more success will surely follow."

Murray all the rage

William Hill report plenty of support for Andy Murray to see off Roger Federer in the US Open final.

Spokesman Graham Sharpe said: "Punters are getting behind Murray, and we have seen a string of four figure bets for him - we will pay out a substantial six figure sum if he can do it.

"One punter managed to get 25/1 about Andy winning this event in July - and staked £160 on him to win £4,000."

Layers sure to lose out

Stan James are stuck in a lose-lose situation ahead of the US Open final between Andy Murray and Roger Federer.

The firm had the best price for Federer before the tournament and also offered to refund all losing outright bets on the men's singles should Murray win.

Spokesman Charlie McCann said: "The bottom line is we can't win whoever takes the title so, like everyone else, we'll be cheering Murray on."

Like most firms, they settle bets on the podium presentations but are also taking into account Hamilton's penalty which later handed victory to Massa.

Paddy himself said: "Once again you have to look at what is fair. This should help to clear up matters."

The campaign will begin in earnest when they travel to Croatia on Wednesday, with Slaven Bilic's side 6/4 at best to top the Group 6 table.

Croatia coasted to a 3-0 home win over Kazakhstan and beat England twice in reaching Euro 2008, so look the value.

And Rodgers could not have a more testing start to the season than facing the Minnesota Vikings and their new mega-bucks signing Jared Allen.

The defensive end was the leading pass rusher last season with the Chiefs but if the Packers can keep him at bay then they are worth backing (-1) here.

Raiders coach Lane Kiffin has gone with JaMarcus Russell as the starting quarterback and the 2007 No 1 draft pick has shown up well in pre-season.

But the Broncos have won their opening game for the last eight years and we expect them to make it nine here.

However, whenever the chips were down they came through and a full-strength side should prove a cut above Celtic and Halifax in the play-offs.

Oldham and Doncaster are pretty evenly matched on NL2 form so Ellery Hanley's side look the value pick here.
