These kinds of rankings don't reflect true odds or where pros are putting their money. It's about generating attention.

Yes, attention plays into it, but a lot of these rankings that have the Flames at the top are projections based on analytical formulae. These are statistical models attempting to factor in enough variables on the basis of what's on paper in order to predict how the season will go. On paper, the Flames are easily a top-five or even a top-three team.
