NFL: 2009 Super Bowl Odds
New England Patriots (5:2)
The Patriots have the talent to win the whole thing next year.
Dallas Cowboys (7:1) Quarterback Tony Romo is still dating Jessica Simpson, but the critics won’t complain if he can deliver a Super Bowl title next year.
Indianapolis Colts (8:1) There is no hotter football family than the Manning’s, and Eli’s brother Peyton hopes that 2009 is his year to step back into the spotlight.
San Diego Chargers (8:1) This is a very hungry team and the Chargers look to be undervalued at these odds.
New York Giants (12:1)
Not a ton of respect here for the defending Super Bowl champions, but it might take another ‘perfect storm’ to deliver another title.
Countdown to Super Bowl XLIII
Super Bowl XLIII will be played at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, on February 1, 2009
Green Bay Packers (14:1) This young team should get better at most positions, but it will still come down to the play of #4 at quarterback.
Jacksonville Jaguars (15:1) If they can somehow win the AFC South, then look out in the playoffs.
Pittsburgh Steelers (20:1) Look for a good year from this perennial AFC contender.
Chicago Bears (30:1) The big question on this team continues to be at quarterback as free agent to be, Rex Grossman may not be the long term solution.
Denver Broncos (30:1)
Mike Shanahan is considered the Broncos ‘coach for life’ but he must help improve a defense that ranked 19th in the NFL last year.
Seattle Seahawks (30:1) Coach Mike Holmgren is returning to the team after contemplating opening a bookstore and selling muffins.
Philadelphia Eagles (30:1) Quarterback Donovan McNabb should be back with the team, but there are still some trade rumors out there. If McNabb returns, this is a potential sleeper team on this list.
Minnesota Vikings (30:1) Minnesota started last season at 3-6, won their next five games, and then lost their last two to finish out of the playoffs. Look for Tarvaris Jackson to remain the starter at quarterback.
Cincinnati Bengals (40:1) Wide receiver Chad Johnson wants to be traded and the defense is still one of the worst in the NFL.
Cleveland Browns (40:1) The other Ohio team just missed making the playoffs this year, and they should be a team to be reckoned with next season.
Arizona Cardinals (40:1) To make the playoffs, the team really needs Matt Leinart to stay healthy and claim the quarterback position all year long.
