I don't think the bookies are getting the odds correct. Their odds are being driven by betting patterns to spread their risk not necessarily the true probability that team A will get promoted.
Based on what we saw with Norwich, I see them falling away. They are much stronger than most teams and will accumulate points but have vulnerabilities. Brentford, based on their tighter 1.93-1 goals per game ratio is also vulnerable. We have a rock solid defense - if anything our weakness HAS been scoring goals - and with the addition of Hourihane our midfield have been scoring and and raised its game offensively. I expect to see our 2.33-1 goals per game ratio expanding. We may struggle to earn maximum points at home because teams will come and park the bus, realizing that they are unlikely to breach the defensive fortress. However, playing away from home, the home team will be more open and aggressive, even though there isn't a fan in sight urging them on, and we will have greater success.
