Handicapping

The Breeder’s Cup betting is hitting its stretch run, but the Super Bowl odds are just getting warmed up. To help with making your mid-season Super Bowl picks, let’s take a look at the teams with the best odds to win it all in February.

Green Bay Packers – 4 to 1

The bookie software has the Packers as the odds-on favorites to repeat as Super Bowl champions in 2012, and that makes a lot of sense. Through the first seven weeks of the regular season, the Packers are 7-0 and look capable of going 16-0. At some point, Green Bay will lose a game. But there is a very good chance that loss will not come in the playoffs.

New England Patriots – 5 to 1

The Patriots are living completely off its offense right now and, while that will win games in the regular season, it will not win games in the playoffs. New England could be the biggest betonline scam of the season and will not be there when the Super Bowl teams kick off in Indianapolis in February.

New Orleans Saints – 9 to 1

The Saints are another team living solely on its offense, but the New Orleans defense has been improving each week. Any team in the NFC is measured by whether or not it can beat the Packers, and the Saints could definitely give the Packers a run for its money. If any team was going to stand between the Packers and a repeat Super Bowl title it is the Saints.

Baltimore Ravens – 12 to 1

The Ravens keep coming on strong and could be the most balanced team in the AFC. The Ravens should emerge as the team to represent the AFC in Super Bowl XLVI, but they are not strong enough on offense to take on the Packers.
