ooh baby ohh baby. Glad to have you back.

And already the bookies (in jurisdictions where sports betting is legal) are offering prices on the contenders. The big news is that Darwin is the strong favourite, reflecting his staying power and form so far in seeing off both Jesus and Mammon (in the guise of Corporate).

HONEST JIM'S TIP Resist the temptation to back Darwin at only 5-2. The value to be had is further down the field - look at the nines being offered on Theory. After all, many of the other competitors have relied on Theory at some point in their careers, so it might just use its greater experience sneak through.

Full odds:
Darwin 5-2 fav
General Relativity 5-1
Invertebrates 11-2
d-orbitals 7-1
Theory 9-1
HIV 10-1
Particle 12-1
Fossil Fuel 14-1

You gotta believe Darwin's odds are best put -- this is Scienceblogs, and bio heavy too, right? And Dave is a biology guy, right? I think D's got this showdown wrapped up. So long as the other guy, Cohen, doesn't get all fancy somehow.
