LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Las Vegas has laid down the odds on the two biggest reality shows of the season - "American Idol" and "Dancing With the Stars."

Teenager David Archuleta is a slight favorite to be crowned the next "Idol," according to John Avello, director of the Race & Sports Book at Wynn Las Vegas Resort.

    I love David A...he has more style, more class, and can SING David Cook feels swarmy to me...If you look at the raw talent, David A wins hands down, and as he ages, he will only get better. OPEN those eyes though!!!

    i totally agree. David A needs somemore time to mature.. He still to shy & looks like he is scared to death. Not at all like David C who looks like he is calm even if he's not... We all know they will both do great either way. Look at the past first & second winners.... Good luck guys

It's not like we haven't seen that before. Give me a break! He is nothing new and is just another match in the box. BORING! David C. is a thousand times better. If David A. w
