If you had to bet $100 on next year's Super Bowl winner now ...

[Golden Spur]

Who would you go with? I see the Niners, Seabirds, Broncos and Pats as principal contenders. For the money, I'd think I'd go with SF.

In order

1. San Fran
2. Denver
3. Atlanta
4. Seattle
5. New England
6. Chicago
7. Houston
8. Green Bay
9. Pittsburgh
10. Arizona ( if they sign Palmer)

I think I saw Atlanta as a 30 to 1. Id take that bet

They are 12-1. Still wayy too high IMO. Should be about 8-1 or so. I think they are probably the best offense in the NFL now with the Steven Jackson signing and Gonzalez coming back. I still like SF because of the D but 12-1 on Atlanta is an easy bet IMO.

Yeah, you're right. I forget what team was 30 to 1 that I was looking at but I remember thinking that Atlanta seemed like the best bet at this early juncture. The Saints look like they are in transition and the Bucs and Panthers aren't really any more difficult than what other divisions are dealing with. Falcons seem to be in a good spot to get a DE in free agency and Steven Jackson has at least one year left in him. Every year there is probably about 6 favorites to win it all and I think they should be one of them so 12 to 1 isn't that bad.

are you betting for 7 years from now?

Toss-up between Denver and Atlanta. Though San Fran certainly looks stacked, I'm not putting money on them until they get a QB.

Btw, here were the odds of some teams winning the super bowl posted last year on April 12, after week 8, and before the wild card round:

Atlanta 25/1 6.5/1 6/1
Denver 16/1 14/1 2.75/1
Niners 14/1 6.5/1 5.5/1
Ravens 14/1 14/1 20/1
Seahawks 50/1 50/1 12/1
Patriots 7/1 6/1 3/1

The ravens were the only team whose odds of winning SB went down from mid-season until before the playoffs. Go figure, lol.

If I had to choose other than my Pat's I would bet on the Niners.

 

[huskers1217]

u trust the Pats without Welker? plus, what kind of year will Ridley have next year?

Thats because the Ravens barely beat KC and really should have lost to San Diego. They didn't really look like a playoff team let alone a super bowl with all of their injuries and inconsistent play.

I made a lot of my vCash betting against the Ravens and Niners at different points in the season, ironically.

Right, I know there were reasons for the downgrade. I'm just saying that it's funny it turned out that way, with them winning it all. I'll add that whether it was coincidence or not, firing Cameron looks like a genius move in retrospect.

Welker = overrated

I wouldn't bet on the Falcons unless they were about 30-40/1
