It’s the second best time of year, next
to the first weekend of March Madness,
the start of the NFL Playoffs gives fans
a chance to dream about their team
winning the Super Bowl. More
importantly, though it gives
NFL sports betting fans the chance
to build on their regular season success
or wash away the sins of any bad bets
you placed in the first 17 weeks. Let’s
have a look at each team’s chances to
win Super Bowl XLIV.
Indianapolis Colts – 10/3
The Colts are the favorites, for
obvious reasons. If it weren’t for Bill
Polian ordering the Indianapolis
starters to the bench for the final two
meaningless games, they would have
finished the season 16-0. They’ll wait
for the winner of the Bengals-Jets game.
New Orleans Saints – 4/1
The Saints have lost three in a row
after starting 13-0. They have the
offensive weapons and an opportunistic
defense that could propel them to a
Super Bowl XLIV win. However, when they
play their first playoff game it will
have been more than a month since their
last win, making them the riskiest of
the four bye teams to put your money
behind. They face the winner of the
Cowboys-Eagles game.
San Diego Chargers – 9/2
The Chargers are going into the
playoffs on a 10 game winning streak, LT
appears healthy and Phillip Rivers has
been MVP worthy. Now they have to
overcome the ghosts of playoffs past.
They will play host to the winner of the
Patriots-Ravens game.
Minnesota Vikings – 15/2
Brett Favre answered any questions
about a late season collapse throwing
four touchdowns in a win over the
Giants. Locking up the second NFC Bye
guarantees the Vikings won’t have to
play outdoors until Super Bowl XLIV if
they make it that far. They play the
winner of the Cardinals-Packers game.
Dallas Cowboys – 11/1
Speaking of the Ghosts of playoffs
past, Tony Romo and the Cowboys have
turned it up in December and have a
chance to exorcise the memories of the
Butterfingers snap and Terrell Owens
crying from their recent playoff
memories. The way they handled the
Eagles in week 17, things are looking up
in Big D.
New England Patriots – 11/1
Did you hear that pop? That was Wes
Welker’s knee and the silence that came
following the pop is from Indianapolis
fans who were complaining that the Colts
rested their starters in weeks 16 and
17. The Pats still have enough to get by
the Ravens but San Diego will be a much
tougher challenge.

Philadelphia Eagles – 16/1
The Eagles
odds to win Super Bowl XLIV dropped
significantly after losing week 17 to
their Wild Card weekend opponents the
Cowboys. However, they have a chance at
redemption but Donovan McNabb needs to
play better; it seems Eagles fans say
that every year.
Green Bay Packers – 20/1
At 20/1, they are my long shot with a
shot. The offensive line has stepped it
up and that has the running game putting
up nice numbers. Aaron Rodgers has been
solid all season long. A win over the
Cardinals will set up a third meeting
between the Packers and Brett Favre’s
Minnesota Vikings.
Arizona Cardinals – 20/1
They let themselves be whooped by their
Wildcard opponents, the Packers. Even if
the game didn’t mean anything in regards
to the final standings, it was about
pride and it showed the Cardinals might
be lacking.
Baltimore Ravens – 25/1
The Ravens catch a break with Wes
Welker unavailable for the playoffs but
they will be hard pressed to beat the
Patriots on their home turf. However,
they have shown that when the offense
and defense both perform at their best,
they are a tough beat for anyone.
Cincinnati Bengals – 33/1
At 33/1, the Bengals get the least
respect from the BetUS Sportsbook seeing
as how the won their division and
outplayed some very good teams this
year. I suppose it’s understandable,
after the Jets dominated the Bengals,
even with Carson Palmer playing the
entire first half. If they get by the
Jets, they will have no real chance
against the Colts.
New York Jets – 35/1
The Jets have the longest odds to win
Super Bowl XLIV, if they can do a repeat
performance and upset the Bengals on
Wildcard Weekend, they will be rewarded
with a trip to play top seeded
Indianapolis and that doesn’t seem like
much of a reward for anyone.
