A standard 52-card deck has 12 face cards: 4 Jacks, 4 Queens, and 4 Kings. The total number of cards is 52.

Step 1: Calculate the probability of drawing a face card

The probability of drawing a face card is:

$P(\text{Face card}) = \frac{12}{52} = \frac{3}{13}$

Step 2: Calculate the probability of not drawing a face card

The probability of not drawing a face card is:

$P(\text{Not a face card}) = 1 - P(\text{Face card}) = 1 - \frac{3}{13} = \frac{10}{13}$

Step 3: Calculate the odds against drawing a face card

The odds against drawing a face card is the ratio of the probability of not drawing a face card to the probability of drawing a face card:

$\text{Odds against drawing a face card} = \frac{P(\text{Not a face card})}{P(\text{Face card})} = \frac{\frac{10}{13}}{\frac{3}{13}} = \frac{10}{3}$

So, the odds against drawing a face card are $\boxed{\frac{10}{3}}$.
