Patriots still
favorite according to recent NFL playoff odds. The MGM Mirage casinos in Las
Vegas including the Bellagio, Mirage, MGM Grand, New York New York, Mandalay
Bay, TI, Luxor and some other establishments, listed the New England Patriots as
the heavy favorite to win the AFC championship as well as the Super Bowl XLII. The
Patriots are listed at -650 to win the Super Bowl and -1000 to win the AFC
championship. Online
Sportsbooks such as Sportsbook.com,
BodogLife
Sportsbook and Wager
Web have similar odds for New England to
win the Super Bowl.
The best
move would have been to bet on the Patriots when the Super Bowl futures line
opened back in February just after the Colts beat the Bears. Back then, you could have gotten the Patriots
at +80. The rest of the teams listed show Green Bay at +90 to win
the Super bowl and +20 to win the National Conference, followed by the Redskins
at +400 and +150 to win the NFC championship. Pittsburgh
and Tennessee
are both underdogs showing +750 and +800 to win the trophy.
The Super
Bowl odds are listed first, followed by each team's odds to win its conference
title.
