Sports betting online can always be popular on the NFL even after the Super Bowl is over. The sportsbetting odds on Super Bowl XLV are already out with the Indianapolis Colts the early favorite. Sports betting online had the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints as the fourth choice behind Indianapolis, Dallas and Pittsburgh. The Saints are still not getting a lot of sports betting online respect as they are about 8-1 to win Super Bowl XLV. The Colts lost another big game and yet they are the sportsbetting favorites at about 5-1.
Normally there are a lot of off-season moves that affect sports betting online Super Bowl odds but this off-season is going to be different. With a possible lockout on the horizon after next season it is quite likely that teams are not going to spend a lot of money. There is likely to be no salary cap for the 2010 season but many of the free agents are going to be restricted. It will be interesting to see which owners take a shot at spending big money. Most of them will not.
The Colts are still going to be popular in sports betting online with Peyton Manning as the quarterback. Indianapolis does have some issues though and they have been a money burner in future bets lately. What helps the Colts is that they are not likely to lose many players to free agency. The Saints probably won’t lose many players either. You are going to hear they have a ton of potential free agents but almost all of them are restricted which means they are not going anywhere. Starting safety Darren Sharper and LB Scott Fujita are unrestricted free agents but look for New Orleans to bring them both back.
The Super Bowl next year is in Dallas and the Cowboys are a popular sportsbetting choice. The problem for anyone taking the Cowboys in sports betting online is that Wade Phillips is still the head coach and that means they probably won’t win it all. Owner Jerry Jones might be the one owner in the league who takes a chance to spend a lot of money to win a Super Bowl in an uncapped year so Dallas does bear watching.
The New England Patriots are a great value in sports betting online futures if you can get them at around 10-1. They always know how to deal with salary cap issues and quarterback Tom Brady will be at full strength. The Chargers are also in the mix in sportsbetting although it is hard to get excited about a Norv Turner coached team winning it all.
