NFL Super Bowl Odds – 2010
New England 8 to 1, Dallas 9 to 1, NYG and PIT 10, Indy and San Diego 12, Baltimore 14, Ten 16.
At the other end, Detroit and KC are 100 to 1 shots.
So, explain to me how we can have odds for next year’s game already? We haven’t had the NFL draft yet, coaches and players may change squads, Tom Brady may have Jello for knee cartilage… honestly I’m all for wagering if that’s your ball of fun but how can we think that the Patriots with questions at QB and Dallas in mild turmoil are more likely to win the Super Bowl XLIV than the team that just won?
What a joke.
At this point it’s just a popularity contest. We might as well put odds on who has the best new design for a throwback jersey. I’m just shocked the Yankees aren’t getting better odds than Detroit and KC – I think they have more athletes and a better chance at winning the Super Bowl.
Throwback jerseys are so overrated. Some are cool, but really – if your team is super young or has never been good, why throw back to a jersey you wore when you sucked 30 years ago instead of the jersey you wear while stinking out the house right now?
Unless…I give a mulligan on all negro-league jerseys cos there’s some serious tradition and slighting over time that should be rectified. I’m waiting for the Rockies to wear throwbacks from the Denver White Elephants.
