Another indication that football never sleeps is that some gambling peeps, called Bovada, got busy and presented odds for Super Bowl XLVII. Already! Here they are:
6/1 Green Bay Packers
7/1 New England Patriots
8/1 New Orleans Saints
12/1 Houston Texans
12/1 Philadelphia Eagles
12/1 Pittsburgh Steelers
14/1 Baltimore Ravens
15/1 New York Giants
16/1 New York Jets
16/1 San Diego Chargers
18/1 Dallas Cowboys
18/1 Detroit Lions
18/1 San Francisco 49ers
22/1 Atlanta Falcons
30/1 Arizona Cardinals
30/1 Chicago Bears
35/1 Miami Dolphins
40/1 Cincinnati Bengals
40/1 Tennessee Titans
50/1 Carolina Panthers
50/1 Denver Broncos
50/1 Indianapolis Colts
50/1 Kansas City Chiefs
50/1 Oakland Raiders
60/1 Buffalo Bills
60/1 Seattle Seahawks
65/1 Washington Redskins
75/1 Minnesota Vikings
75/1 St Louis Rams
75/1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
100/1 Cleveland Browns
100/1 Jacksonville Jaguars
Now, there's a bunch wrong here, besides posting odds for the next Super Bowl the day after the last Super Bowl. First off, how can the Giants get so little love after winning a title. The Jets are a mess right now and the Giants have only slightly better odds. The Giants have to be among the top four. They have the most complete team in the league. They may not be as explosive as the Packers or the Saints but they aren't far behind. On defense, few are better. Speaking of defense, the Giants were lucky to get by the 49ers defense in the Conference Championship game. Saddling the the 49ers toward the middle of the pack with 18/1 odds is ridiculous. They are right with the Packers, Saints and Giants in the NFC. I really do not understand the love for the Eagles. Until proven otherwise the Eagles are as dysfunctional as the Jets. I'm not sure that Bovada has seen much football.
The Vikings are a must bet at 75/1. Fortunes are near. Next year is bad news for any team that has to line up against the Vikings.
Of course, none of this is for gambling purposes. The odds posted here are best used to make fun of Bovada.
