Odds to Win Super Bowl 45

The Colts (+700) almost won it all last season and have the best odds to win the Super Bowl this season. Peyton Manning is the reigning MVP, but he could use help from the running game, which he did not get last season. The Colts' defense was decent last season and may be much better this season with the addition of 1st round pick OLB Jerry Hughes and 2nd round pick ILB Patrick Angerer.

The Cowboys (+800) may have got the steal of the draft as WR Dez Bryant fell to them with the 24th pick. The Cowboys have not made much noise in the off-season besides signing a couple of solid offensive linemen. Tony Romo leads the offense and he has tons of weapons at his disposal. The defense is the issue, as if they can play up to potential Dallas is definitely a Super Bowl contender.

The Chargers (+900) are now in the post LT era and they will need 1st round pick Ryan Mathews to step up and produce right away. QB Phillip Rivers had a great season last year and he is now an elite QB. WR Vincent Jackson is suspended for the first 3 games and he will be missed. The Chargers' defense has to play like they did in the 2nd half of the season and not the 1st when they gave up a ton of points.

The defending Super Bowl champion Saints (+1000) lost a couple of offensive lineman, but they did re-sign S Darren Sharper, which they really needed to do. Drew Brees and the solid rushing attack should light up the scoreboard again, but the New Orleans' defense has to play well like they did in their playoff run last season. They drafted DB Patrick Robinson in the first round, which was a solid pick.

The Packers (+1000) have a great defense and they addressed their need to shore up their offensive line re-signing OT Chad Clifton and drafting OT Bryan Bulaga in the 1st round. QB Aaron Rodgers is now an elite QB, but he has to stay off his butt for Green Bay to win the Super Bowl.

The Jets (+1000) had a busy off-season signing RB LeDainian Tomlinson, LB Jason Taylor, and a few other players, especially on defense. The Jets had the top-ranked defense last season and their great secondary may be better with 1st round pick DB Kyle Wilson.

The Ravens (+1000) should still be led by their defense, but their offense may be much better with the addition of WR's Anquan Boldin and Donte' Stallworth. Joe Flacco will now have a legit WR corps, which he has not had in Baltimore while he has been under center.

The Vikings (+1000) are still in the mix, as it looks as if Brett Favre will be back for another season.

The Patriots (+1300) are flying under the radar for a change, but they still have Tom Brady and Randy Moss, but last season showed they need a healthy Wes Welker, who is recovering from a major knee injury.
