NFL: 2009 Super Bowl Odds
The paint is barely dry on the New York
Giants stunning Super Bowl upset over the
New England Patriots, and Sportsbook.com
is already turning its attention to next
year.
Here is a
look at the 16 favored teams for 2009,
with a look at the ‘long
shots’ coming out next week. Odds
to win the 2009 Super Bowl are listed in
parenthesis
New England Patriots (5:2)
The Patriots
have the necessary talent to win the
whole thing next year, but how will their
mental state be after losing the perfect
season? The fallout from ‘Spygate’ is
another consideration.
Dallas Cowboys (7:1)
Quarterback
Tony Romo is still dating Jessica Simpson,
but the critics won’t
complain if he can deliver a Super Bowl
title next year. If he doesn’t, it
could be the last season for Coach Wade
Phillips.
Indianapolis Colts (8:1)
There is
no hotter football family than the Manning’s, and Eli’s
brother Peyton hopes that 2009 is his
year to step back into the spotlight.
The return of Coach Tony Dungy will help
matters.
San Diego Chargers (8:1)
Philip Rivers showed a lot of guts in
their playoff loss to New England and he
hopes to be healthy by training camp. This
is a very hungry team and the Chargers
look to be undervalued at these odds.
New York Giants (12:1)
Not a ton
of respect here for the defending Super
Bowl champions, but it might take another ‘perfect storm’ to
deliver another title. That said, we have
learned never to count this team out.
Green Bay Packers (14:1)
Brett Favre and the Pack are one of several
teams still trying to figure out what went
wrong in the playoffs. This young team
should get better at most positions, but
it will still come down to the play of
#4 at quarterback.
Jacksonville Jaguars (15:1)
This fearless
Jaguars’ team has
everything going for it with the exception
of being stuck in the same division as
Indianapolis. If they can somehow win the
AFC South, then look out in the playoffs.
Pittsburgh Steelers (20:1)
Head Coach Mike Tomlin acquitted himself
nicely in his first season, although you
never want to lose a playoff game at home.
Look for a good year from this perennial
AFC contender.
Chicago Bears (30:1)
The Bears found out last year how hard
it is to return to the Super Bowl. The
big question on this team continues to
be at quarterback as free agent to be,
Rex Grossman may not be the long term solution.
Denver Broncos (30:1)
Mike Shanahan
is considered the Broncos ‘coach
for life’ but he must help improve
a defense that ranked 19th in the NFL last
year. A quicker maturation of quarterback
Jay Cutler would help too.
Seattle Seahawks (30:1)
Coach Mike
Holmgren is returning to the team after
contemplating opening a bookstore and
selling muffins. With an attitude like
that, expect this to be Holmgren’s
last season.
Philadelphia Eagles (30:1)
Quarterback Donovan McNabb should be back
with the team, but there are still some
trade rumors out there. If McNabb returns,
this is a potential sleeper team on this
list.
Minnesota Vikings (30:1)
Minnesota started last season at 3-6,
won their next five games, and then lost
their last two to finish out of the playoffs.
Look for Tarvaris Jackson to remain the
starter at quarterback.
Cincinnati Bengals (40:1)
Wide receiver Chad Johnson wants to be
traded and the defense is still one of
the worst in the NFL. That makes these
odds overly optimistic even with an offense
that will always put up its share of points.
Cleveland Browns (40:1)
The other Ohio team just missed making
the playoffs this year, and they should
be a team to be reckoned with next season.
Signing coach Romeo Crennel to an extension
was a solid decision.
Arizona Cardinals (40:1)
The Cardinals had an up and down year
under first year coach, Ken Whisenhunt.
To make the playoffs, the team really needs
Matt Leinart to stay healthy and claim
the quarterback position all year long.
