Sports betting odds favor the Indianapolis Colts to win the Super Bowl in 2010. The Colts lost the Super Bowl last season to the New Orleans Saints but they begin the season as the Internet sports betting favorite. They should get a little help from their schedule which is pretty favorable.
Sports betting odds favor the Colts in their season opener at Houston. While that won’t be an easy game, the Colts are still expected to win it. Overall, the schedule is pretty kind to the Colts. They have only one two-game road trip all season and those games are winnable at Denver and at Jacksonville. The toughest game of the season figures to be at New England. That could be the only time all year that the Colts are sports betting underdogs.
Indianapolis is going to be on prime time TV quite a bit in 2010. The game against the Patriots is a late afternoon game on CBS but the Colts host the Giants, Texans and Chargers in prime time games while they will be featured at Washington and at Tennessee.
The Colts are not a great cold weather team but the schedule really doesn’t have them playing many games that will be a problem. The Patriots game in late November could be the only one where the cold weather is an issue in sports betting although anything is possible in Philadelphia in early November.
The early part of the season could be interesting for Indianapolis. The first three games are not automatic wins in Internet betting. They are at Houston, host the New York Giants and then travel to Denver. They then go to Jacksonville before hosting Kansas City. The game at Washington is not going to be easy now that the Redskins have Donovan McNabb. The Colts get their bye in Week 7. They come out of the bye with a home game against Houston and then travel to Philadelphia. The Colts host the Bengals in Week 10 and then play at New England. The two toughest home games of the season are in Weeks 12 and 13 when the Colts host San Diego and Dallas. The latter part of the season is very favorable for the Colts in sports betting as they are at Tennessee, host Jacksonville, travel to Oakland and host Tennessee.
