Bet on Football with Real Money - NFL 2011/12 Season Futures Bets (Last updated: December 2nd, 2011)
Even as a lockout keeps players out of their team’s facilities, USA sportbooks are looking ahead to a season of professional football and setting the odds on which team will make it to the big show. The Green Bay Packers took the Lombardi Trophy home with them last year and the current odds are 6 to 1 that they can keep it at least another year. With defensive coordinator Dom Capers apparently not moving to a head coaching position his return should strengthen an already mighty defensive unit.
Compare the odds between the two most reputable sporsbooks online for USA players, as well as compare the odds movement week by week.
It may be hard to believe but the Packers were the only team last year to never trail by more than seven points during the regular season and with a returning Aaron Rodgers with a healthy backfield of running backs James Starks and Ryan Grant they could repeat their superbowl win from a year ago.
Last year’s superbowl loser Pittsburgh are currently 8 t0 1 favorites to win it this year and if safety Troy Polamalu can stay healthy through the offseason the black and gold defensive unit under a returning Dick LeBeau should provide the Steelers with a good chance to make it into the fray. With a healthy offense, and no Steelers at this point returning with legal problems, the team can focus on football and have a shot at a seventh championship.
Quarterback Drew Brees could have the Saints marching in again and are 15 to 1 favorites to be a superbowl contender. Since being eliminated by the Seahawks in the first round last season, the Saints can count on a repeat from their strong defensive unit and hopefully a healthy offense to return the team to the playoffs. As long as Peyton Manning is able to stand in the pocket the Colts have a legitimate chance to get back into the playoff mode, provided they have much fewer injuries on the offensive line. Current odds have them at 18 to 1 and in spite of the spate of injuries to his line brought the team to win the AFC south crown last year.
Despite all the good things happening to a lot of good teams, odds makers are again posting 5 to 1 odds for the Patriots. After a regular season of 14 wins and gaining the number one seed in the playoffs, league MVP Tom Brady and crew were stunned by defeat in the first round. Tight ends Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski are counted on to perform better during their second year on the line and if the Pats can locate a wide receiver they can be counted on to win at least as many games again this season.
However, as the NFL lockout continues and players are forced to find alternative workout space, odds makers are counting on them being diligent in preparing on their own as well as for a new collective bargaining agreement in place before games need to be trimmed from the schedule.
