Updated Odds to win the Super Bowl – NFL Week 4

It’s week 4 in the NFL regular season. Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions are both undefeated.

Today the Buffalo Bills can make it four wins top start off the season, and they’ll need to beat the Cincinnati Bengals to do it. Considering their success in the NFL so far this season, a 4-0 start sounds like a good bet.

Online sportsbooks have the Bills at 28/1 odds of winning the Super Bowl. Those odds sound really high. This team won their first 3 games, so you can almost bank on them getting to the playoffs. That is a lot more than you can say about some of the other teams who have better odds of winning the Super Bowl. I say, if you want to bet on the Bills to win the Super Bowl, do it now because I can see these odds falling even week.

This team kicked the crap out of the Kansas City Chiefs on NFL opening weekend, and had an awesome come-from-behind victory over the New England Patriots last week. (The Pats are current the favorites to win the Super Bowl.) They also beat a much improved Oakland Raiders team who smashed the New York Jets last weekend. The Bills look impressive this year, that’s for sure!

Are the Lions for real? We’ll see as they have a real test this week verse the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys are 2-1 and have a pass defense that can shut down Megatron (Calvin Johnson). Tony Romo will have to step it up this week, even with his injuries. Dallas needs him to lead this team to victory. Current odds on the Lions to win the Super Bowl are 14/1.

On the other side of the coin, the Chiefs have looked horrible. I can’t imagine anyone wanting to bet on them to Super Bowl, but if you do the odds are great. At 500/1 they are the largest in the league. To put that in perspective, if you bet $100 on Kansas City to win the Super Bowl, and they do, you would win $50,000. Of course, they probably won’t even make the NFL playoffs, let alone win the Super Bowl.

Below you will find the odds on every FL team to win the 2012 Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis.

Green Bay Packers 9/2
New England Patriots 9/2
New Orleans Saints 9/1
San Diego Chargers 11/1
Baltimore Ravens 12/1
Houston Texans 12/1
Pittsburgh Steelers 13/1
Detroit Lions 14/1
New York Jets 14/1
Philadelphia Eagles 14/1
Dallas Cowboys 20/1
Buffalo Bills 28/1
New York Giants 28/1

We have not updated much so far this season, but from here on out we will keep you up to date on all the Super Bowl betting news that’s out there.

There is football! (Thank you God!)

It looks like there will be football this year! That’s great news for this site (which focuses on just football and the Super Bowl). I mean if there was not a football season this year, we have nothing to write. And a year off would suck! I mean the Spring and Summer without football is bad enough. Could you imagine fall and winter without the NFL? I shutter at the thought.

It has been sometime since we’ve updated, so there is a lot to talk about. We’ll touch on some of the recent moves (who’s playing where), maybe touch on some fantasy football stuff and then we’ll give you some updated Super Bowl Odds.

Some of the biggest news is happening with the Cincinatti Bangles. Chad CincoOcho was traded to the New England Patriots and Carson Palmer has publicly said that he will retire if Cinci doesn’t trade him.

Two of the best corner backs in the league are still available for teams to sign. Both Nnamdi Asomugha and Antonio Cromartie are at the top of every teams wish list. Oakland and the Jets would lose a lot of talent is they aren’t able to resign these players. The third best corner back free agent Johnathan Joseph has already been signed by the Houston Texans who like him better than Cromartie.

Wide receiver Sidney Rice is leaving Minnesota (and the newly acquired Donovan McNabb) for a big pay day in Seattle. It’s a big loss to McNabb and a great pick up for the Seahawks.

Speaking of the Seahawks, Matt Hasselbeck won’t be around to throw to Rice. Hasselbeck just signed a deal with the Tennessee Titans. So the greatest quarterback in Seattle’s history will end his career with another team.

Those are some of the biggest moves so far, but there will be a lot more coming soon. There are a lot of guys still unsigned and a lot of deals still to be made. For all the boredom that the NFL create with the lockup this summer, it has sure created a lot of excitement this week.

We haven’t even touched on the fantasy football impact of all these moves, and I think it’s still too early to really determine. A couple of signing can drastically change a team and their fantasy impact. Improvements on defense will help their offense stay on the field. An addition of one good lineman can drastically lift a running backs value just like a good wide receive can lift the value of a mediocre quarterback. I think we will have to wait a few weeks until everything is sorted out before we can really fairly assess everyone’s fantasy values.

Below are the current odds to win the Super Bowl. I would expect these to change A LOT over the next couple of weeks as more and more free agents find homes. For example Santonio Holmes is a beast and he’s a free agent. If he resigns with the Jets, I’m sure that would help their chance of winning the Super Bowl. If this happens I would expect their odds to drop. But if Holmes signs with another team, then I would think that the other teams Super Bowl odds would drop and the Jets odds might even increase a little since the odds of him signing with the Jets is probably already baked into the line.

Odds to win the 2012 Super Bowl XLVI –
New England Patriots 13/2
Green Bay Packers 7/1
San Diego Chargers 11/1
New York Jets 12/1
Pittsburgh Steelers 13/1
Atlanta Falcons 14/1
Baltimore Ravens 14/1
Dallas Cowboys 15/1
Philadelphia Eagles 15/1
Indianapolis Colts 16/1
New Orleans Saints 16/1
New York Giants 22/1
Chicago Bears 25/1
Houston Texans 25/1
Minnesota Vikings 25/1
Detroit Lions 30/1
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30/1
Kansas City Chiefs 40/1
San Francisco 49ers 45/1
St. Louis Rams 45/1
Arizona Cardinals 50/1
Miami Dolphins 50/1
Oakland Raiders 55/1
Tennessee Titans 55/1
Denver Broncos 75/1
Jacksonville Jaguars 75/1

Washington Redskins 75/1
Cincinnati Bengals 100/1
Cleveland Browns 100/1
Buffalo Bills 150/1
Carolina Panthers 150/1

More offseason posts!

Okay, now that is an exciting title, but I don’t have too much to back it up with. Instead of really focusing on this site, I’ve been doing some work around the web. In fact, I’m going to send a few links to some other sites that I like.

My new Twitter account is Bet the Super Bowl. I just made this account a few days ago. Follow me!

Same Dice – Not really sure what this site is yet. I love the domain, but I’m not sure where to go with the site. Right now I’m using it for development work for Cut Above, but I’ll probably keep the hosting and try to develop it down the road. For those of you who don’t know, Same Dice is what you say or yell at a craps table when one or both of the dice you are shooting leave the table. If you don’t quickly request the same dice, the casino will remove the die or dice that left the table and you will have to shoot with new dice. This is considered unlucky.

Atlantic City Sports Books – I created this site years ago on the hope that Atlantic City would at some point legalize sports betting. They haven’t yet, but it looks like it will be put on the New Jersey ballet for a vote this November! Away, this is a first entry thing. I created the site and haven’t touched it in years. But if sports betting is ever legalized, I’ll already have a site up and running with some serious history that can easy be updated. That’s called planning ahead.

A Cut Above Landscaping – This site belongs to a friend of mine, and it has very little links. In fact the only site that links here is another site I control. Anyway, this is now the second site linking to his landscaping company, and I’ll probably send him a few more over time. I’m currently updating his site, so I’m invested in making it rank well.

The Scumbag Michael Vick – This site is pretty new. I started it to remind everyone that Vick is still a scumbag even though he won the NFL comeback player of the year award. I really hate this guy and a lot of over people do to. I think that this site will rank really well once I develop it some more and it starts to get some attention. Of course, that might be a while since I’m working on some many other things right now. The Twitter account for this site is ScumbagVick.

Hopefully the NFL lockout will make for some interesting posting this offseason. It could really mess up the season and the Super Bowl (not to mention all my fantasy football leagues)

The boring off season…

So it’s the offseason, not too much to update. The next Super Bowl is about 11 months away and that is the only time of year that this site gets any traffic. In fact, the only reason that I’m updating now is because I want this site to maintain some new content so that Google and Bing keep coming here.

The people over a Sportsbook dot com have really tried to take over my search terms for bet on the Super Bowl. They have reached out to hundreds (if not thousands) of blog owners and paid them to link to their site with phrases like “bet the super bowl” or “super bowl betting”, “Super Bowl prop bets” etc. So far it’s worked for them. This site used to be the #1 in hit in Google, Yahoo and Bing for bet the super bowl in 2009. Along comes 2010 and sportsbook is the first hit in Google, Yahoo search results are powered by Bing and this site is still the first hit in Bing for bet the super bowl, but who knows how long that will last. Hopefully forever!

I did just renew this domain name for about 9 years, so I plan of having this site for a long time. Of course, I want visitors and if this doesn’t get a good ranking in the search engines, this site is near worthless.

After all, this site is built for only 1 game, and only 1 subject on that one game. I don’t talk about the history of the super bowl here, go can go to Wikipedia for that. I don’t talk about NFL contract negotiations, offseason trades, the draft or any regular season games. This site is focused on the Super Bowl, so I don’t really even start writing about the NFL season until the playoffs when the teams are narrowed down to the possible super bowl contenders.

Then I tell you what the odds are and where you can bet. I also explain how to bet. But that’s about it. I don’t pick any bets, because other people might like the other team. I don’t any really analysis on super bowl, I just tell you what the bets are…

So as I said, this site is focused on one aspect of one game a year. That is #1 a huge game to have 1 site focused just on betting it and #2 someone with way too much time on their hands to operate a site focused on betting 1 game a year.

Well, I just that’s why I don’t update this site too much in the off season. While I do have time on my hands, I like to think that I don’t have too much of it ?

Odds to win the 2012 Super Bowl XLVI – February 2011

We are about a year away from the Super Bowl, so these odds could change A LOT, but these are the current odds for the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis.

The current long shots are the Buffalo Bills and the Carolina Panthers. There should be no surprise there. Both these teams sucked last year. The Bills went 4-12 and the Panthers ended at 2-14. There were a few other teams that ended the season at 4-12 along with the Bills. Fortunately for those teams, they don’t play in the same division as the New England Patriots and the New York Jets, two teams that are on a lot of people’s lists to make the playoffs.

The Patriots are actually one of the two favorites to win the Super Bowl. The other current favorite is this year’s winner, the Green Bay Packers. Both teams are 7-1. The 2010 Super Bowl loser, the Pittsburgh Steelers are currently 11-1 to win the next Super Bowl.

Of course there might not even be a 2012 Super Bowl is the NFL owners and the players association doesn’t come to an agreement over the next 12 months. I know it’s early, but they’ve been negotiating for months now and the mediation has failed. The union has said that they think the NFL owners want to lock out the players soon. If this happens, the 2011 season could be in jeopardy.

Even if just one or two games is missed, it will have an impact on Super Bowl odds and bets, and it would have a major impact if half the season is missed. If the strike goes long enough, there will be a point were the season will be canceled completely. Of course we’re hoping that both sides come to an agreement soon, as we would hate to miss any of the next season.

Odds to win the 2012 Super Bowl XLVI
Arizona Cardinals 75/1
Atlanta Falcons 16/1
Baltimore Ravens 16/1
Buffalo Bills 100/1
Carolina Panthers 125/1
Chicago Bears 25/1
Cincinnati Bengals 60/1
Cleveland Browns 65/1
Dallas Cowboys 16/1
Denver Broncos 60/1

New York Giants 18/1
New York Jets 14/1
Oakland Raiders 40/1
Philadelphia Eagles 16/1

San Francisco 49ers 40/1
Seattle Seahawks 80/1
St. Louis Rams 40/1
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 35/1
Tennessee Titans 50/1
Washington Redskins 50/1

This is just the first run at this. Don’t worry. We’ll keep you updated on these odds all year long.

Green Bay won the Super Bowl!

Congrats to the Packers and all their fans. After all the bets were calculated in Vegas and all the numbers were reported, Vegas did make a small profit on the game. The consensus is that the public was on Green Bay, and most everyday bettors won! This is great news.

It was an okay game. Green Bay got an early lead and they held to though out the game. The Steelers tried coming back and got within 3 points of the Packers, but they could over come their early deficit. Without a lead change the entire game, it was a little slow. Green Bay led the whole way and won the game.

Some of the more heavily bet props cashed too. Aaron Rodgers was named MVP, Hinse Ward caught a touchdown pass, and Rodgers threw for a ton of yards.

For the first time in 12 years, tails won the coin toss! Overall, it was a good Super Bowl both for the NFL and for the bettors. We’d be lucky if every year was this good (as long as you bet on the Packers!)

Well now that the season is over, we might be taking a small break in posting. We’ll see how things go. Thanks again for reading!

2011 NFL Playoffs – Green Bay Packers Playoff Progress
Eliminated in NFC Championship Game +165
Super Bowl Runner up +220
Super Bowl Champion +160

The bet that interests me the most is which conferance will the Super Bowl winner come from. They list this bet twice, but it’s worded in slightly different ways.

You can bet either the AFC or the NFC, and they are both listed at -115 odds. Now -115 isn’t a good line on a 50/50 bet which at first this bet might seem to be. If this bet was a true 50/50, you should look for a line that is -110 for each side.

That said, it looks like the Packers are the current favorite to win the Super Bowl at 8-5 odds. Right behind them are the Steelers at 2-1. The Jets are third at 7-2, and the Bears are a distance 4th at 5-1. Just looking at these odds, you would think that the AFC has slight edge to win the big game. The two NFC teams are the Packers and the Bears, but the odds on the Bears are so long, that you have to figure that they would be underdogs to whoever they faced if they made it to the Super Bowl. Meanwhile the odds on the Steelers are right there with the Packers and the Jets odds aren’t too far behind.

Just looking at this, there has to be some value in betting on the AFC to win the Super Bowl now before this weekend’s NFL games are played. If the Bears manage to beat Green Bay, and you bet the AFC, you will have locked into some great odds on the Super Bowl. You could even bet on the Bears on the Super Bowl to hedge the bet and make money no matter who wins. Now lets say that the Bears lose to Green Bay, if the Steelers beat the Jets, you will have a pretty close bet the actual odds should be on the Super Bowl. The only way that this AFC bet could go against you in the big game is if the Packer and Jets wim this weekend. If this happens, the Packers would probably be favored over the Jets even though New York would have beaten some great teams to get to the Super Bowl.

Of course, if yo think that the super Bowl match up is going to be the New York Jets vs the Green Bay Packers, you can just bet on that too. Those odds are listed at 3-1. Oddly the Pittsburgh Steelers vs the Green Bay Packers odds are also 3-1…

So you can see that there ae several interesting bets on the board. At this stage of the playoffs, and 4 of these teams could easily go on to win the Super Bowl. These are 4 strong and focused teams that have played well all year and gotten hot at the right time.

Individual player props for this weekend aren’t up yet. Once they’re added, we be sure to post them here, so you can see what prop bets are offered for the NFL Championship playoff rounds. I expect there to be more team prop bets added too, so we’ll also update those a little later in the week.

Also later this week, we’ll give some tips on how to bet on the Super Bowl the right way, how to stay away from sucker bets and which online sportsbooks to use.

Until then, Good Luck and happy betting!

And then there were four… The march to the 2011 Super Bowl

After this last weekend of NFL playoff games, only four teams remain. Next Sunday the Green Bay Packers will travel to Chicago to take on the Bears, and the New York Jets will visit the Pittsburgh Steelers in an attempt to win their third road playoff game and a trip to the Super Bowl.

Interested in betting on one of these teams to win the 2011 Super Bowl? We have the updated odds below.

Odds to win the 2011 Super Bowl XLV
Chicago Bears 5/1
Green Bay Packers 8/5
New York Jets 7/2
Pittsburgh Steelers 2/1

Right now the Steelers are the favorite to win it all. The Packers are the favorite team from the NFC. If you like any of these teams to win the Super Bowl, you should bet them now since the odds will change after the next round of games (especially if you like either the Jets or the Bears).

This weekend give us some good match ups. The first game is between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears. Green Bay is favored by 3, but the game is being played in Chicago, making the Bears a underdog at home in the playoffs. How often does that happen in a league Championship game? Close to never!

This could make for an interesting bet. I have a freind that only bets on home underdogs, and he claims to do pretty well. Also we all remember what happened a couple weeks ago when Seattle was a home, dog in the playoffs.

Everyone things that Green Bay is a better team, and that the Bears had an easy game beating up on the Seahawks. Las Vegas usually sets their lines based on what they think people would bet, and Vegas is sure the public likes the Packers.

The over/under in this game is currently 44, and the money line odds are the Green Bay Packers -180 and the Chicago Bears +160.

The second NFL playoff game is between the New York Jets and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The line on this game in the Steelers minus 3, so Las Vegas thinks everyone will want to bet on the Steelers. There is a good reason for that. Pittsburgh has had a great year and they are playing at home. The flip-side to that is that the Jets just beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh last month! That game ended 22-17… It was close.

Vegas is also expecting this to bet a defensive battle as they’ve set the total bet at 38½. The money line on this game varies depending on what online sports book you look at. You can bet the New York Jets to win straight up anywhere between +165 and +155. You can bet the Pittsburgh Steelers to win at -175 to -190.

Those are the line and odds for this week’s NFL games. We’ll be back later in the week with more information on how to bet on the Super Bowl and a couple lists on prop bets that are offered for this weekend.

Good Luck and happy betting!
