Las Vegas oddsmakers opened the season with the Patriots as the favorites to win the Super Bowl.
Well, the Patriots have something to prove this weekend if they want to get back in good stead with the gamblers of the free world.
The New Orleans Saints are listed as the favorites to win the Super Bowl. If you bet $100 on that to happen, and the Saints won, you would get back $185.
The second pick to win is the Indianpolis Colts. You bet $100 on them and you could win $350 if they took the Lombardi trophy.
Your Patriots are currently the third pick in most casinos, listed at $400.
Here are the rest of the good to decent teams and what their payoff would be if they were to win the Super Bowl, based on a $100 bet:
Minnesota: $700
Pittsburgh: $1,000
Dallas: $1,000
Philadelphia: $1,500
San Diego: $2,000
Denver: $2,000
Cincinnati: $2,000.
If you ask me, I like the Steelers at, basically, 10-1. I also like the Vikings at 7-1.
As for a long shot, the Giants are $3,000 (30-1). I’d take a shot on them.
