Opening odds of Winning 2010 Superbowl (1 Viewer)

[Ridgelake]

With the 2009 Superbowl finishing last night, Bodog has issues odds on winning the 2010 Superbowl. I thought it was interesting that the top two teams did not make the playoffs this past season.

Agree. If Warner returns, I see no reason they aren't back in the playoffs. At 30-1 they represent good value.

True. If Leinart is their QB they'll be lucky to win 7 games.

Yup, and I have to think the possibility of Warner's retirement is what's pushing their odds that low. Before the game he said he was 50/50. If you take him at his word, I suppose 30-1 is fair.

 

[travdogg]

I can understand New England, I mean if Brady doesn't get hurt would you have been surprised if they were the one's celebrating today?

Dallas makes no sense at all. They are the 3rd best team in their own division.

Other than Dallas being a little too high and Arizona being a little too low, it looks like a pretty good list to me. I just glanced at it pretty quick though.

LOL at the Cards getting 30-1...the division is all but wrapped up. Every other team in the NFC West is in serious rebuilding mode.

Kind of low odds for a team that could be getting a first round bye...not to mention some home field advantage.

Warner may retire.Boldin may be traded.James will be another year older and Hightower is not the answer.Berry and Dansby are both FAs and Bidwell is cheap.I congratulate the Card on a great year and wish them the best next year, but I'm not sure the 30-1 odds are such an insult at this point.

Wouldnt part with any money until free agency has started and on the whole not too inclined to bet until close to season - injuries can make a huge difference but the ones above in bold are ones I'm interested in following as they may provide value at the best prices. Miami's best price of 66-1 is quite staggering though for a team that went 11-5 and won their division.

Houston are in danger of becoming this year's 'sexy pick' which is usually the kiss of death but they are starting to get the pieces together. With a little tweaking Denver's Offense can be one of the best and it'll be interesting to see what moves they make on D. Seattle and Green Bay are potentially value as bounce back teams (both had bad injuries last season) and I do really like the appointment of Williams as the D Co ordinator fro New Orleans.

 

[Ridgelake]

Houston is the one that jumped out to me. Tied for the 10th worst in the league? Granted, the other 3 teams in their division are relatively strong. But they are far from the 10th worst team in the league.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Hrm, so the Packers go 6-10 (4-10 against non-Detroit opponents) and they are 25-1 while the Cards are 30-1

[two_dollars]

Putting 50 on the Texans!

Do not underestimate the SB losing curse....a lot of teams thought that way after losing the SB only not to even make it to the playoffs....#### happens and you have no clue how next year will go. Staying healthy from one year to the next is not easy....trust me. I saw the Bears lose a lot of players to injuries after their SB loss; I saw the Seahawks go through the same. The Eagles went through the same. The Panthers went through the same....the Pats lost Brady the year after they lost the SB. The list is endless.

 

[tbbucs4eva]

Bucs getting 0 respect as always

they will improve

 

[comfortably numb]

What most need to realize is that the big teams (Pit/Dal/NYG/GB etc) will ALWAYS have money put on them for homerisim's sake, so why put them higher and risk paying out millions. Keep em low, and people will bet on them anyway.

These lines are not always who Vegas thinks will win, but rather where they think they can make the most money.

 

[SeniorVBDStudent]

How does betting against any of these teams work in terms of payouts relative to favorite status?

I ask because the notion of Dallas as the second favorite amuses me.

 

[twitch]

Philly at 18-1 is where my money would be spent. If they can find a decent WR in the draft, and it is a heavy WR draft thru the 1st 3 rounds, and can pick up a FA/veteran RB like Derrick Ward or Jacobs, possibly Edge, or maybe a Knowshon Moreno or other rookie RB to supplement that O, I think theyve got serious potential. Of course it all begins and ends with McNabb, so those their chances could be considered tenuous.

It's never a surprise to see Dallas up there. They always attract a lot of amateur betters.As for the Pats, they still have that mystique and I guess a lot of people aren't concerned about Brady returning.

The last time the SB loser won the following SB was the 1972 Dolphins.

You're right; that's exactly why they have such short odds. They have an above average squad and attract a lot of bets.

These are betting odds and not necessarily indicative of which teams the oddsmakers believe have the best chance to win the Super Bowl.

Wel then I am assuming you are putting down some big money on your Cards. Put up or shut up!

Yeah, they were coming on strong at the end of the season.

These I kinda like... If the Giants can figure out the deep threat thing (Burress), then they have a great chance of returning to the SB. The Steelers aren't set to lose a lot this offseason. They could probably stand to shore up a few things and be right back in the SB again. If the Saints can stay healthy for a full season, and their defense quit being wishy-washy, they could go far. The Cardinals have a lot of ?? now on possible retirement/FA, but the odds make them ideal. The other two are long shots, but the odds look nice... who would have thought the Cardinals would have made it to the Super Bowl and possibly be one play away from the title?! What were the odds for them going into 2008?

 

[Koya]

Dallas has such favorable odds because of the stupid nation betting on them. "Cowboy Nation" - and while I find the word nation annoying, that is why it is so appropriate. Lucky for the Cowboys, two "nations" have surpassed them in annoyingness - New England and Pittsburgh (who's "nation" of fans, many of whom are front running wusses who have never spent a moment in Pittsburgh) who are as or more annoying than the others, but somehow feel they are authentic or something.

But I digress.

You sound bitter. Steeler Nation is stronger than ever right now.............

 

[hardcoredx]

NE should be the favorite. I have no doubt they would have beaten Pitt had Brady been healthy.

Houston looks very like an excellent risk/reward play.

There is always doubt in any game. It's not as if the Patriots are undefeated with Brady. They only did that one year (well almost).............

These odds seem pretty good for most teams, especially if you compare them to the NBA futures right now:

Lakers 2:1

Cavs 5:2

Celtics 5:2

Magic 6:1

What the NFL odds are really saying is that if you played 9 2009-2010 seasons, the Pats would only win one title. Really? I think they win 2 or 3, if you could run this in a vacuum, at a minimum. The Cards at 30:1 is ridiculous, which is saying that if you played 2009-2010 31 times in a vacuum, the Cards would only come out with one title. Only one in 11 seasons would the Steelers really repeat? I'm not saying it's "likely" that the Steelers repeat, but with the vast majority of their core coming back, it's much better than one in 11. The NBA odds seem more realistic, and therefore I think I'll jump on several of the NFL bets, the most favorable IMO being the Pats, Giants, Steelers, Eagles, Saints, Vikings, Cards, Texans, Redskins, and Raiders.

 

[Abraham]

Tennessee at 16:1 makes no sense to me. They beat the team that won the Super Bowl, they should return every key player, and while they lost in the playoffs (maybe that's the stigma now) they were a handful of plays away (IMO) from being in position to win the Super Bowl. Perhaps the worry that Albert will be gone and the toughness of their division factors in, but to have them as 6th best in the AFC is silly.

The odds have very little to do with who will actually win. Vegas sets the odds so that no matter what team wins the house wins too. The odds reflect the tendencies of the betting public.
