View topic - Odds To Win Next Season's SB...

[Steelers76 Profile]

Odds already came out to win next Season's SB already. I forget the exact numbers, but the top 3 favorites are...

1.) New England

2.) Green Bay

3.) Steelers


It seems like every year for almost 10 years now, The Pats have been the favorite to win The SB. Honestly, especially for the past few seasons, I don't understand this constant Patriots blowjob from The Oddsmakers. New England hasn't won a SB since The 2004 Season, and hasn't won a post-season contest since The 2007 Campaign. As for the other 2, I agree with GB, but history has told us the previous 2 SB seasons that The Steelers will not only not make it back to the big game, but not even qualify for the playoffs. Hope I'm wrong there, but still....Thoughts?

I just posted this on another thread, but 60% of the Super Bowl losers do not make the playoffs the following year. As for Brady and the Pats, I have no explanation. Everyone fails to remember that they have not won a playoff game since before Spygate.

The only thing that might bump NE up in the rankings is they have 3 draft picks in the first round and their defense is young and should improve. However, I agree that they have not done much in years.....Green Bay should be #1 with the Steelers, NE, Ravens, etc... on the next tier...and maybe the Jets and Saints and Falcons after that

As much as I hate to see it, I'm not surprised to see NE favored. They've got Brady (NFL MVP), Belichick (Coach of Year), went 14 - 2 with a fairly inexperience team, have a shitload of draftpicks including several 1st rounders, they won their division seems like 10 years in a row except 2008 (?), went to 4 SBs in the last 10 years.

But we got the bastards at home again next season, so need to prove who's better then.

At least they don't have Indy above us in the odds category... These odds are only good if teams have everyone totally healthy. One catastrophic injury to Brady, and New England will drop considerably...

We'll see. A lot of these guys were around when we lost the AFC Title game in 2004, and they bounced back in '05... I think they can do well if they retool the secondary in F.A., and the Draft, and get Mike Pouncey... I think the O-Line will be much better with Starks, and Colon back. Although, with that said on Colon, I didn't like the fact I saw him still limping some at Super Bowl Media Day. I'm wondering how much the Achilles will affect his foot work when he returns next Season.
