As the Blue Jackets get ready to face-off against the Penguins, they still have many detractors around the league.

One group has surprisingly strong faith in the Jackets, bettors in Vegas. 

Bovada, an online sports book, currently has Columbus at 10/1 to capture the Stanley Cup, trailing only Chicago, Washington, Pittsburgh and Minnesota.
