2010 Super Bowl Odds (Updated December 17, 2009)
2010 Super Bowl odds were still available as we head into Week 15 of the 2009 NFL regular season.
The Indianapolis Colts are the favorites to win the 2010 Super Bowl with 3/1 odds while the New Orleans Saints come in around 4/1 odds at Sportsbetting.com. Both teams remain undefeated at press time (the Colts were currently playing at tight one against Jacksonville as we wrote this). No doubt these are the two teams everyone is focused on but there are other NFL teams looking to make a statement heading into the Playoffs.
Other teams that need to be taken seriously are:
The San Diego Chargers - When you think about it, this is another undefeated team...assuming the season were to have started 8 weeks ago. This is the current streak the Chargers are on having won their last 8 games. Everything appears to be clicking for the Chargers and this is a group that can challenge Indianapolis. Odds were at 5/1 for a payout potential of $500 on every $100 bet.
New England Patriots - Don't count them out just yet. They are, after all, the New England Patriots. Despite recent obstacles, as long as Tom Brady is at the helm as Quarterback they do have a chance to win a Super Bowl. If for nothing else, they would pay $1000 for every $100 bet if it happens.
The Minnesota Vikings 2010 Super Bowl odds were set at 11/2 at Sportsbetting.com. That's around a $600 payout on every $100 bet.
The Cincinnati Bengals cannot be taken lightly either. They would pay a whopping $1500 for every $100 bet.
The Arizona Cardinals will make the Playoffs and that's a scary thought since the reigning NFC champions are so unpredictable.
The Philadelphia Eagles have quietly won 4 straight to bring their record to 9-4 in an otherwise tight NFC East division. Their 2010 Super Bowl odds were set at 10/1.
The Green Bay Packers are surprising a lot of folks by going 9-4 and winning five straight games. They had odds of 15/1 to win the 2010 Super Bowl.
Here's an interesting thought: The Denver Broncos can't be taken out of the equation since they have thus far beaten New England and Cincinnati this season and these are two teams the Broncos are likely to be playing. At home, the Broncos will be especially tough. It's a long shot at 40/1 odds but that number has tremendous value since a $10 bet would win $400. Stranger things have happened in the NFL (i.e. the "left for dead" Giants winning the 2008 Super Bowl and the Arizona Cardinals getting into last year's big game and nearly stealing it from the Stealers).
