Odds to Win Super Bowl 47
Considering professional football never leaves the American sportsbetting consciousness, it's never a bad time to take a look at NFL Super Bowl futures. So as the 2012 draft approaches here's a quick look at the Super Bowl XLVII betting board at 5Dimes.com.
The Green Bay Packers, who went 15-1 last year before falling to the eventual-champion New York Giants in the divisional round of the playoffs, lead the Super Bowl 47 betting at 5Dimes at +550. We all know Green Bay can move the ball on offense. It was their iffy defense that eventually cost them. The Packers are likely to go defense in the draft, which might affect their odds.
The New England Patriots, who lost the Super Bowl to the Giants, are the second choice on the board at +700. Like Green Bay, New England has little trouble moving the ball; it's the defense that needs to be addressed.
The New Orleans Saints, who got upset in San Francisco in that classic NFC divisional-round game back in January, come next at +775.
The Houston Texans, who overcame numerous injuries to key people last year to get to the divisional round of the AFC playoffs, are the fourth choice on 5Dimes' Super Bowl board at +1,000.
The Philadelphia Eagles, maybe the most disappointing team in the league last year, are getting +1,250.
The Pittsburgh Steelers, who have played in three of the last seven Super Bowls, are lined at +1,350.
The Baltimore Ravens, who came within a short field goal of pushing the AFC championship game to overtime last January, are listed at +1,400.
It's not often the defending Super Bowl champions get such a generous price, but the Giants are lined at +1,700 to pull a repeat.
The defending NFC West champion San Francisco 49ers are also being offered at +1,700 on 5Dimes' Super Bowl 47 board.
And the San Diego Chargers, who missed the playoffs for the second straight season last year but held on to their head coach, are getting +2,000 to win the Super Bowl this season.
At the next tier the Detroit Lions, who broke that long playoff drought last year with a Wild-Card berth, and Dallas Cowboys are both lined at +2,250 on the Super Bowl board at 5Dimes. They're followed by the Atlanta Falcons, who have made the playoffs two years in a row, and Kansas City Chiefs at +2,500; the New York Jets, who missed the playoffs last year, at +2,750; the Chicago Bears at +3,000; the Cincinnati Bengals, who earned a Wild-Card berth last year with a rookie at QB, Carolina Panthers and Miami Dolphins at +4,000; and the Arizona Cardinals, Oakland Raiders and Tennessee Titans each at +5,000.
Rounding out the field we have the Seattle Seahawks and hapless Washington Redskins at +6,000; the defending AFC West champion Denver Broncos, the now-Manningless Indianapolis Colts and the Minnesota Vikings each at +7,000; the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at +7,500; the Buffalo Bills at +9,000; and the Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars and St. Louis Rams are all getting +10,000 at 5Dimes to win Super Bowl 47.
