American Idol Preview: Cook Is Gambling Favorite Over Archuleta

When American Idol started this year, many fans were wondering if the show could continue to pop out top amateur performers. The show not only did that, but also has produced one of the better finale showdowns.

David Cook and David Archuleta have both been brilliant at times this season. They both have created a large fan following from different ends of the social spectrum, and are both worthy of winning the title.

The sports books say that Cook has the better chance of winning. He is listed as the gambling favorite in most sports books, and is predicted to be the winner in gambling arenas.

Archuleta is by no means a long shot. His odds are fairly strong for a second choice. The sports books are basically saying that while Cook is the favorite, it would surprise nobody if Archuleta won.

Of course, it will ultimately be the performances Tuesday night that will determine the winner. With both contestants so evenly matched and evenly loved by voters, one slip up could cost Cook or Archuleta a shot at being the American Idol winner this season.

Show time is set for 8:00 Tuesday night on FOX.
