Odds to Win The 2010 Super Bowl – Week 1 NFL Edition

Odds to win the 2011 Super Bowl as we are coming into Week 1 had a bunch of teams vying as long favorites.  By that we mean, NFL teams will pay a minimum of $800 on a $100 bet should they win the 2010 Super Bowl.

The Indianapolis Colts were technically the favorites at +800 or 8/1 coming into Week 1 of the new season at SBG Global.  Other single digit favorites included the Dallas Cowboys at +900 and New Orleans Saints, also at +900.

“It’s a great time to bet on NFL futures,” exalts Don Shapiro of Gambling911.com.  “The value is extraordinary.  Typically a team will open as a 3/1 favorite.  These are some of the longest odds on an upcoming Super Bowl we have ever seen coming into a new season.”

Odds to win the 2011 Super Bowl within the 10/1 to 20/1 range included The Atlanta Falcons at 20/1, Baltimore Ravens 12/1, Green Bay Packers 10/1, Minnesota Vikings 12/1, New England Patriots 12/1, New York Jets 12/1, Pittsburgh Steelers 15/1, San Diego Chargers 10/1, and the San Francisco 49ers 15/1.

“This is the first time in nearly the last 10 years the New England Patriots haven’t opened with single digit odds of winning a Super Bowl,” points out Shapiro.  “The same holds true for the Steelers in recent years.”

The 21/1 to 40/1 range odds to win the 2011 Super Bowl included Chicago at the long 40/1 odds, Cincinnati at 25/1, Houston at 30/1, Miami at 30/1, The Giants at 25/1, Philadelphia at 25/1, The Titans at 30/1 and the Washington Redskins at 40/1.
