Super Bowl Odds

[Cman]

Here are the current odds (h/t http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/extra_points/):

Indianapolis Colts 4-1
New York Jets 6-1
Dallas Cowboys 7-1
Minnesota Vikings 7-1
Green Bay Packers 8-1
San Diego Chargers 8-1
Baltimore Ravens 9-1
New England Patriots 9-1
New Orleans Saints 10-1
New York Giants 12-1
Washington Redskins 12-1

My first reaction:
Jets too high, Saints too low.  Patriots about right (ie: more or less even with the Ravens, Chargers, Packers), but as a homer, I'd take those odds.

Cowboys & Jets look too high upon intial review.

Steelers really take a dive with the Rothlisberger suspension.  From a pure value standpoint, I'm willing to be they're worth taking a risk on due to the possible payout.

And the Champs are definitely too low.

I was going to say I'd definitely pick up some Steelers.  You can probably get some great value in them.  They're still a good team capable of making a run through the post-season as we've seen them do before.

Plus, their schedule during Rothlisberger's absence is somewhat managable.  They should be able to stay afloat until his return.

The saints are way too low but how many teams have repeated in history? All of them were juggernauts and I just dont see them as one of the best rosters ever assembled.

Also how are the Jets too low? As much as I hate to admit it, I thought they would be the favorites this year. They went to the AFC title game and you can argue that they improved on both sides of the ball with their acquisitions.

I like the Pats at 9-1. To win it all!

Agreed.  The Saints were the most complete team for much of last year, and won the Super Bowl pretty convincingly.  I'd say that they're my personal pick as favorites.

The Redskins are much too high, in my opinion.  A couple months ago, they were 75-1; I don't think McNabb makes that much of a difference.

The Jets and Cowboys have lower odds than they should because of their markets.  Those teams (especially the Cowgirls) have a huge fan base and will see more action on them thus the lower odds for them winning.
