Championship Overview: QPR Favourites to Take Title

The Championship has kicked off with a bang this year, ensuring that things are going to be tight in the fight for Premiership status.

Leading the pack so far is in-from and goalfest inducing Queens Park Rangers. Rangers have clearly laid out their intent early with convincing wins both home, and more importantly, away.

So strong has their performance been, various bookmakers have the boys from Loftus Road as favourites to win the Championship at 3.0, with the lads from Wales coming in as the second favourite at odds of 6.0.

Having just missed out on promotion last year, this team will be motivated to ensure that they are not pipped out of a promotion by attempting to wrap up the Champions title fairly and squarely.

This table is beginning to resemble the look of a 1980's league style heyday, with Ipswich at third, place having registered some impressive results over the opening two months.

The men from the East have been clinical in their approach thus far, and as such are currently third favourites to top the table at odds of 11.0- this margin merely serving to highlight 'The Hoops' dominance in the opening stages

The playoff section of the table is being kept busy, however if the bookies are to be believed there will be some significant changes over the coming weeks.

Current 13th placed Middlesbrough are at 13.0 to win the league, with Burnley at the same

From there things start to get really lucrative with Notts Forest set at 15, and once Premier League mainstays Reading, rank outsiders at 19.0

There are some historically fantastic clubs marking this list such as Leeds at 23.0, Sheffield United at 34.0 and Watford at 67.0- however, well this might pull on the heart, and most certainly purse strings, their chances at winning this title against the rampant top 3 are low

Former Premier League team Portsmouth are the laughing stock of The Championship and are at 151.0 to win, a far cry from their form only a season past.

At present this year's Championship is proving to be a goal-scoring fest- with crowds and TV pundits licking their lips.

The ‘Superhoops’ are in their best string of form in a long, long time...and even though it is early days, have the look and feel of a team ready for bigger and better things.

While they will be up against if by class outfits such as Cardiff and Ipswich...this side, coupled with a notable bank balance, are dead on favourites to win it all, and hopefully in doing so get themselves back up to the Premiership.
