12/14 Update: Late insider money has hit on WWE's TLC PPV betting, creating two significant shifts...

The Usos are -4,500 favorites against The Miz & Damien Sandow in the Tag Title match after being underdogs the whole week. Also, Bray Wyatt has moved from a slight underdog to a -2,750 favorite over Dean Ambrose.

Meanwhile, Dolph Ziggler has strengthened to a 6,000 favorite over Luke Harper in the IC Title ladder match. If match betting is in an indication of WWE's booking plans, the PPV should feature at least two title challengers winning, although there's the possibility of count-out/DQ in the tag match.

Final Odds: Wyatt at -4,500 over Dean Ambrose, John Cena -11,000 over Seth Rollins, Ryback -20,000 over Kane, Dolph Ziggler -6,000 over Luke Harper, The Usos -6,000 over Miz & Sandow, Big Show -6,000 over Erick Rowan, Rusev -20,000 over Jack Swagger, Nikki Bella -20,000 over A.J. Lee, and New Day -20,000 over Rhodes Bros. on the pre-show. [ Thanks to David ]

12/11 Update: The latest betting odds have been posted for the TLC PPV, pointing to potential match results on Sunday.

Oddsmakers have installed Rusev as the strongest favorite of the night (-1,200) defeating Jack Swagger in the U.S. Title match. Also, Ryback is a strong -900 favorite over Kane in the chairs match and Nikki Bella is a healthy -475 favorite to beat A.J. Lee in the Divas Title match.

In the other matches, Bray Wyatt is a very slight favorite over Dean Ambrose (this will probably flip-flop a few times), John Cena is -530 over Seth Rollins, The Miz & Damien Sandow are -400 over The Usos, Erick Rowan is -270 over Big Show, and Dolph Ziggler is a slight -175 over IC champion Luke Harper (this will also probably flip-flop).

Following the quick turnaround from Survivor Series to TLC, the first betting odds have been released through international oddsmaker 5Dimes.

There are two strong favorites in early match betting: John Cena is a -900 favorite to beat Seth Rollins and The Miz & Damien Sandow are -600 favorites to beat The Usos in the Tag Title match.

Also on the board is Dean Ambrose as a slight -145 favorite over Bray Wyatt, and Erick Rowan as a slight -230 favorite over Big Show.

The other match on the board is Luke Harper vs. Dolph Ziggler for the IC Title - both men are listed at -120 for a toss-up this early in the betting.

Matches announced Monday on Raw have not been put on the board yet.

Once the late insider money is bet this weekend, the lines will change and be a better predictor of WWE's booking plans.

Caldwell's Analysis: No real surprises in the early betting odds. John Cena is expected to "overcome the odds" and retain his #1 contender status to set up another showdown with Brock Lesnar, it's too early to take the tag belts off Miz & Sandow, and Erick Rowan needs a win over Big Show if WWE is intent on building up Rowan in the "Sheamus" babyface role.
