The Odds On The NFL This Season

nfl-logo2Can you believe that the Chicago Bears odds to win Super Bowl XLIV are only 20/1?

But of course the Dallas Cowboys odds are 14/1.

Crazy right? I mean the Bears have an easier division plus they have a solid offensive line, quarterback, tight end and running back.

The NFL just loves Dallas so much.

Something about the NFL Betting system is fishy.

Here’s the list of Super Bowl futures for all 32 NFL teams:

Arizona 22/1, Atlanta 24/1, Baltimore 20/1, Buffalo 50/1, Carolina 20/1, Chicago 20/1, Cincinnati 70/1, Cleveland 80/1, Dallas 14/1, Denver 50/1, Detroit 100/1, Green Bay 25/1, Houston 35/1, Indy 13/1, Jacksonville 40/1, Kansas City 65/1, Miami 50/1, Minnesota 15/1, New England 4/1, New Orleans 22/1, New York Giants 10/1, New York Jets 40/1, Oakland Raiders 90/1, Philly 11/1, Pittsburgh 9/1, San Diego 12/1, San Fran 50/1, Seattle 45/1, St. Louis 100/1, Tampa Bay 55/1, Tennessee 22/1 and Washington 30/1.

Any of those odds surprising to you?

I think Minnesota (15/1), New England (4/1), Pittsburgh (9/1), Philly (11/1) and Tennessee (22/1) are very surprising to me.

First of all the Vikings have no quarterback and even if they add Brett Favre he won’t be that good.

Then you look at New England (4/1), this is a team that didn’t even make the playoffs last season, Pittsburgh (9/1) should be the Super Bowl favorites, I mean there the team that has won two Super Bowls in the last four years.

How can the Eagles be (11/1), when they play in one of the toughest divisions in the NFL and Tennessee be (22/1)?

That’s crazy. Tennessee to me should have a huge season, but the Eagles might not even  make the playoffs.

All I know is the odds on the NFL this season don’t look right to me.

What do you think?

    …without Brady, and with a 11-5 record (do you know a team that didn’t make the playoffs with 11 wins? Last was Denver, in 80’s). On paper, that was a playoffs team and if Brady is back to his 2007 level, it’s logic to see them contend for the Superbowl (not that they’ll win eventually, but they can hope to).

    For Vikes and Favre, we don’t have any idea if he’ll play fine or not. In 2007 he was really good, except in NFC Championship. And that was with an offense who shares lot of similarities with the Vikes one. Add a tough OL, an awesome running game and you got an easy passing game to play.
    I assume his arm is now too old, but in football…

    I’m agree with you about the Titans, sure they lost AH, but they also add nice weapons in offense.

    And indeed, the Boys are way too high, they have a pretty good roster but that’s all.

    finally!!!! someone points out the weapons that the titans got on offense like britt, cook, and washington who will keep defenses from defending against their rushing attack. That helps offset the loss of AH and washburn will coach jason jones and crew up. Youre a very smart man charles!!!!

  • Jake Perper says:

    thanks guys for your comments. Charles I understand your point about the Patriots but Brady should be rusty and if he isn’t im def wrong. but Brett Favre is not the same Brett Favre he was in 2007. He would ruin his career if he came back to the Vikings this season
