Don’t look now Green Bay Packers but your team is the new favorite to win the 2011 Super Bowl with odds that would pay out $70 for every $10 bet or $700 for every $100 bet.
It’s interesting to point out that these are the shortest odds to win the 2011 Super Bowl being offered by BetUS.com yet. Heading into the season, the favorite to win was the Indianapolis Colts at 8/1 odds.
Starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers finished with 188 yards passing and threw two interceptions against the Philadelphia Eagles on the road late Sunday afternoon.
"I played terrible. It was as bad as I can play. I've got to be better," Rodgers said. "I missed a lot of throws. The defense played good. We made enough plays to win. I personally made too many dumb mistakes."
The Packers become Super Bowl favorites despite nearly blowing a huge lead against the Eagles in the final minutes.
Michael Vick entered the game for Philly to take over for an injured Kevin Kolb, helping to reinvigorate a lackluster offense while mounting a comeback. He finished with 175 yards passing and ran for 103.
"I thought Michael was phenomenal," coach Andy Reid said. "He brought the team back, he kept his poise."
Don Shapiro of Gambling911.com commented: “Oddsmakers apparently believe that Green Bay proved themselves by holding on against Vick’s excellent play.”
The Philadelphia Eagles odds to win the 2011 Super Bowl fell to 40/1 we should note.
