Not much by the looks of it.
Chicken Littles should note that the Patriots remain the #1 favorite to win the 2009 Super Bowl.
Even with an 0-4 pre-season. Even with Brady not playing a pre-season game, the Patriots are considered the safest bet to win the Super Bowl with +300 (which should temper the non-chicken littles to remind them that even under the best of circumstances, winning a Super Bowl is hard.)

The Jets and Dolphins fans are certainly taking great satisfaction in thier 3-1 preseason records, though likely not relishing the chances Las Vegas (and ultimately the betting public) gives them to win the Super Bowl.
Generally I don't pay much attention to these things, and understand the odds reflect not so much the predictions of Las Vegas "experts" but reflect how the betting public views the chances of any particular team (i.e. the odds are designed to keep money even and ensure the House wins) - but I felt this might provide some perspective to anyone freaking out about an 0-4 preseason.
