I have no problem with those bookies odds ... they are more or less where I'd expect them to be from a bookmaking (not necessarily footballing) perspective ... and no they are not always the same. The fact that they have less than 4 points separating 10 teams demonstrates that, Burnley apart, they expect this to be an incredibly close call.
The value bet there may be Southampton ... they look like they will be losing their 5 or 6 most influential players before the season starts ... it will take them time to forge a new first team.
They've already lost 5/6, it looks like they'll lose more, Liverpool are in for Rodriguez now.
They've got plenty of money to spend and a decent manager, but replacing that many bodies in one go is a really tall order.
