Looks like the bookies are unphased by Man City's recent 4 losses streak and still see them as a favourite for raising the cup.
As of today, the odds for the outright winner (per duelbits) are as follows:

Do you see any dark horse with massive odds that could actually win the whole thing?
Dinamo Zagreb is x800 and are currently placed 16th, so above teams like Bayern, Real Madrid or Milan. It could be worth putting $1 bet on them  Grin
Mancity being the favorite to win?, Well I guess this odds were drawn based on how each teams will perform in the last 4games of the group stage, and I'm quite sure that most of the big teams won't take any of those games for granted. And also, maybe based on how these teams will perform in January, after the recovery of some of their key players, or the signing of some new players as well. It's quite surprising to see Liverpool dropping down to 4th even though they are the only team with a 100% winning record so far this season in the champions league. We can't be too sure of the odds, but maybe a dollar would be worth risking.
The bookies might have different criteria they are using that is different from present reality. If they are being serious about this, Manchester City is not supposed to be rated among the first five teams to win the champions league this season because it is obvious they will not. A lot have changed with the club including their enviable mentality that have been shattered. I was even thinking that for things to have gone so bad with Man City this way, maybe Pep is preparing to leave the club. This was how it went with Barcelona before he finally left the club.
