Congrats to the St Louis Cardinals for winning the World Series! It was a great 7 games, and probably one of the best World Series ever played. The Cards were not favored, but they managed to put a lot of the Vegas bettors in check by playing hard and beating the Rangers.
It’s now the eighth week of the NFL season, and there are some great match ups. The Buffalo Bills are playing the Washington Redskins in Toronto, and they just agreed to sign their quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to a new 6 year $56 million dollar contract. That guy will now make more money in the next 6 years that I will make in over 20 lifetimes… Lucky bastard.
Another good match up this week is Pittsburgh Steelers hosting the New England Patriots. Both these teams are at the top of their divisions, and I wouldn’t be surprised if these two meet again the NFL playoffs on the way to the Super Bowl. This weekend the Patriots are favored even thought they’re playing in Pittsburgh. I can see either of these teams winning the Super Bowl any year. They have both been NFL power houses for the last 10 years, and that is one of the reasons why a lot of people bet them to win the Super Bowl every year before the season even starts.
The Sunday night game is an interesting match up in the NFL East. Dallas Cowboys travel to the Philadelphia Eagles. I’ve heard many people say that the Cowboys could be undefeated this year. In other words, “the only ones who can beat the Cowboys are the Cowboys,” meaning that Dallas is a great team with a lot of talent, but somehow they find ways to lose games. Just look at the Patriots game the other weeks. The Eagles were one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl when the season opened. They also have a lot of talent on their team, but so far they haven’t been able to make it work. We’ll see how wins this week. If I had to bet a side, I would bet on the Cowboys.
Below are the odds to win the Super Bowl XLVI at various points this year. We have listed the final pre-season odds that were available before the first regular NFL game was played. We also have last week’s Super Bowl odds and this week’s odds, so you can see how they changed based on last weekend’s games.
If you are interested in betting on the team to win the Super Bowl, I suggest never waiting for certain odds. If you really like a team to win it all, they will probably win a lot of games during the regular season, and their odds will just get smaller and smaller. so if you want to bet on a team, bet it early.
