2013 Super Bowl Odds: Next Year's Favorites Are Not This Year's Winners

The MGM Grand’s sports book in Las Vegas released their 2013 Super Bowl odds today. Yes, I know that the two teams remaining standing at the end of this season were the Giants and the Patriots, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are automatic favorites to repeat. In fact, far from it.
The odds are stacked against either the Giants or the Patriots making it back to the Super Bowl next year: over the previous eleven Super Bowls, the losing teams have only made the playoffs four times in the following season, not once advancing beyond the divisional round.
Of the winning teams over the last eleven years, the Patriots were the only team that was able to repeat. No other Super Bowl winner even made it back to the conference championships. Incidentally, the last defending Super Bowl champion to win a playoff game in the following year were the 2005 Patriots. Four of the last eleven Super Bowl winners failed to make the playoffs altogether in the following year.
After the break, we look at which teams the Vegas bookmakers see as the favorites for the Super Bowl next year.
The Cowboys open at 20-1, which puts them in the same general vicinity as the Bears, Lions, Falcons, Ravens and Jets. The Vegas bookmakers are not overly impressed by the Giants' Super Bowl run this year and don't even have them as the favorite to win the division in 2013.
ODDS TO WIN 2013 SUPER BOWL
| Team | Odds |
| New England Patriots | 5-1 |
| Green Bay Packers | 11-2 |
| Pittsburgh Steelers | 6-1 |
| Philadelphia Eagles | 6-1 |
| New York Giants | 8-1 |
| New Orleans Saints | 10-1 |
| San Francisco 49ers | 10-1 |
| San Diego Chargers | 12-1 |
| Houston Texans | 12-1 |
| Chicago Bears | 17-1 |
| Detroit Lions | 18-1 |
| Atlanta Falcons | 18-1 |
| Dallas Cowboys | 20-1 |
| Baltimore Ravens | 20-1 |
| New York Jets | 20-1 |
| Indianapolis Colts | 25-1 |
| Tennessee Titans | 30-1 |
| Cincinnati Bengals | 30-1 |
| Buffalo Bills | 50-1 |
| Kansas City Chiefs | 50-1 |
| Seattle Seahawks | 50-1 |
| Denver Broncos | 50-1 |
| Carolina Panthers | 50-1 |
| Miami Dolphins | 50-1 |
| St. Louis Rams | 50-1 |
| Oakland Raiders | 60-1 |
| Minnesota Vikings | 60-1 |
| Arizona Cardinals | 60-1 |
| Cleveland Browns | 75-1 |
| Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 100-1 |
| Washington Redskins | 125-1 |
| Jacksonville Jaguars | 150-1 |
Ten different teams have been crowned NFC champions in the last eleven years. Only the Cowboys, Falcons, Lions, Vikings, 49ers and the Redskins have not won an NFC Championship game over that span.
The Giants won the Super Bowl yesterday, but Vegas doesn't like their chances of repeating. Who is your favorite to take home the Lombardi Trophy next year, and which team looks to have all or most of the pieces in place to become the dominant team of the next four to five years?
Let us know who your NFL underdog is, and why.

20-1? Wow!
I’ll be placing my bank account on that one.

Never question Andrew Luck I guess

If Dallas plays its cards right in the offseason and Jerry does not trade away all of our picks I think Dallas has a great chance

I’m not taking anything away from that championship run…but man so much luck. Every fumble bounced back their way!
it blows but some say they would rather be lucky than good

Anybody notice that Brady's overthrow of Welker ...
late in the 4th quarter was eerily similar to Romo’s overthrow of Myles in the first Giant game.
Both players were wide open, both QBs put a little more air on the ball, and at that point in the game, the resulting first down (if the ball was caught) would have allowed both teams to almost whittle down the clock to nothing (even if they were forced to punt). Either way, the Giants were very unlikely to score had either of those balls been caught.
That’s the difference between a 8-8 season and winning the Super Bowl. Football is a game of inches, and the best team doesn’t always win.
BTW — did anybody miss the blatant pass interference call against Chase Blackburn before the interception? He gives a two-hand shove to Gronkowski to get position on the ball.
Welker should have had the catch....2 hands on it
Giants simply arent any better than the Cowboys and thats simply a fact - Terry
The Giants are NOT better than the Cowboys...thats the reality - Terry
wouldn't call it "eerily similar"
Giants simply arent any better than the Cowboys and thats simply a fact - Terry

welker catches that 9x out of 10....
Giants simply arent any better than the Cowboys and thats simply a fact - Terry
The Giants are NOT better than the Cowboys...thats the reality - Terry
well he got us accostumed to do great things but that doesn't make this his fault
the pass was not as good as it could,
It wasn't great but
Welker had plenty of time and space, made the adjustment (like all receivers are required to do) and had two hands on it. Should have caught it. There were three drops at the end of the game that made all the difference, while there were three or four great catches the Giant’s WR made. I think WRs really dialing in and making grea catches is under-appreciated. Kurt Warner’s SB win was directly attributable to his WRs really doing a great job for him.
I think if Welker makes that catch, the world is singing Brady’s praises today…
Don't believe everything you think.
can't disagree
but I do think both deserve blame. That was an EASY throw for Brady to make. The safety was still yards away. Walker was running like a bat out of hell full speed downfield, hes probably going to score a td if Brady puts it on him cause I doubt the Giants safety makes that tackle. He should have caught it, and Brady should have put it on him. Regardless, it wasn’t nearly as bad as the Branch drop which would’ve been a monumental game-changer.
I do agree wrs are the difference between a giants win and a pats win, as I think both qbs played well/great. And for that matter, lets not forget the Giants strength is their wr core, while the Pats is their TE core. Once Gronk was obviously ineffective, Brady had to rely on less reliable players.
If you're talking about the 3rd down Branch drop right after Welkers drop...
It was a terrible throw by Brady behind Branch, which allowed the trailing NYG defender to hit Branch. And the Welker drop was just as much Bradys fault as Welkers. Sure Welker has made that catch before, but Brady needs to put the ball in a better place with Welker wide open.
"He’s the boomstick, you know what I mean?" -Ian Kinsler
Brady had all the time in the world
Welker didn’t have a shot at making that catch.

Because Brady overthrew Welker that is
And that forced Welker to try to stretch to make the catch.

Since Welker got both hands on it
I think he every chance in the world to catch it. And he said exactly that after the game. So did Collingsworth during the game.
People think QBs are going to 100% accurate on every throw. Not ever going to happen. WRs have to adjust to throws and make the catch.
Don't believe everything you think.
True
He did have both hands on it, but the Giants disrupted the play enough so that he would have to make an adjustment.

True
And you could file this one under scandal. Some Patriots players were caught dancing after the game according to Yahoo sports.
As for Kurt Warner, he would be 0-2 in Super Bowls had the ball on Tennessee’s final drive ended in the end zone when time expired on that game.

I like the Boys assuming we fix the OL ensuring Romo's health and then improve the D.
It’s doable too if we sign some quality FAs and use the draft to obtain BPAs to fill holes and depth..

jerry just got shown what a good 1/2 time show is lol ....
black-eyed peas was the worst……

Yeah, but I'd rather look at Fergie than Madonna. LOL

Nice presentation though
Have that presentation (stage, dancers, lights and such) with last years music from Black Eyed Peas and you would have a great super bowl halftime show. Now if they can only piece them together in the future. Also the commercials were disappointing and some didn’t even air which I saw and know they were better (Doritos Bird of Prey)

I kind of disagree a bit with ya there Chi
But since I’m thinking ( by your younger sounding voice) per your radio show, by the way is pretty awesome, I would probably say the same thing. When you get to be my age maybe you will appreciate a woman that old, looking that good and doing what she does. I’ve never been a fan of hers and it is kind of sad seeing her clinging to her youth, but you’ve gotta admit she did put on a darn good show. Money talks, bullshit walks.

I don't know.
I didn’t much care for watching a Track and Field event when I thought I was supposed to be watching a football game.
The Packers will be tough again next year. I bet their FO has the team in good salary cap shape also. Add onto that they are probably getting 4 comp picks in addition to their regular 7. Pack’s gonna be a contender for a while.
Only thing is
Didn’t the Pack just lose their director of player/personal or something? Will that affect their draft, signings ect…?

I dunno. McCarthy is pretty savvy though. With Rodgers they always have a chance.

They will likely be much improved on defense, and this is a defensive draft.

My darkhorse would be Cincinnati @ 30-1
Probably not next year though. They are going to get some great draft picks for a couple years with the fleecing they gave Atlanta.
ah yer right, knew it was one of them AFC North teams.
But meh…the Browns not gonna get their with McCoy Im afraid. They got a rough path ahead indeed.
Cinci seems to be headed the right direction at least.
by StarloverinWNC on Feb 6, 2012 1:03 PM CST up reply actions
Cinci fleeced the Raiders
that is what you were thinking I think. They get a first this year and most likely a second rounder next year for Carson Palmer.

as far as the Cowboys go, I would do one of those bets where you put down like 300 before the season starts on them and if they win the Super Bowl you win 2300
my friend did that with the Giants this year, won 2300 bucks, was really happy for him

Then Spring will come and camps will open. The long slumber and crazy dreams that have haunted us will fade as hopes of a fresh new year with new faces arrives.
There will be talk of what Joe has done in their lifting programs. How the D looks rejuvenated cause they have figured out the schemes and learned the communications. And the redhead wil be beaming with new plays.
And all will be right with the world.

Well we certainly aren’t winning anything next year. This is still between Giants and Philly. Something tells me the Redskins end up with a better record than us. Hopefully Jerry Jones finally mans up and cuts Romo.

We will not make the playoffs next year with Romo.
This is still between Giants and Philly
When this year was it ever between the Eagles?

But they had a share of the division lead after one game, and did play good football for a good part of the season. Besides, this season is a success to them because they beat the Cowboys twice.

The Eagles finished the season ahead of the Cowboys in the standings. Granted, it took the Cowboys total collapse in the latter quarter fo the season, but I am not so sure we should be trumpeting that fact

The point is,
The Eagles were never really in contention for the title of the East this year. They needed a miracle collapse of both NYG and Dal and only one team did.
Now next year is a different story.
"Obviously, I felt like if I ran into my lineman there it was going to help the play" ~Tony Romo
That is true
But the Eagles did have a successful season in that they dominated us while we can look at the silver lining that we dominated Washington which dominated the Giants who won the Super Bowl. Translation, everybody got something this season, at least in the NFC East.

Chalk up wins over Chicago, Detroit, and Minnesota. Not sure about Green Bay, but you also have Arizona, St. Louis, and Seattle as well. That is nine wins, or so, right there.

I wouldn’t call those automatic wins by any stretch. All those teams will be improved next year.
MIN – Ponder with an offseason more time with Harvin, healthy AP, plus additions in draft.
DET – Is already really good.
CHI – A healthy Forte and Cutler, they’ll probably upgrade their WR in the offseason, DEF aint a joke.
I could see SF losing all 4 games against the NFC Central. Seattle will probably be improved as well, especially if they get a legit QB. ST Louis will be better too.
by StarloverinWNC on Feb 7, 2012 7:34 PM CST up reply actions
True
But here is my take on the three NFC North teams other than Green Bay.
Minnesota: They need to upgrade their defense and they do have quarterback problems because Joe Webb is in the equation too. Remember that I live in Vikings country so the Vikings aren’t so tough. Plus they have very little defense, need to upgrade their offensive line, and AP will be out for at least part of the season due to a ACL injury he suffered in a win over the Redskins.
Detroit: Is good, but I think the San Francisco defense can dominate the game.
Chicago: They are going to have to rebuild one of these seasons. If San Francisco drafts a running back in this draft, Chicago could be in major trouble because of their old defense.
The point I am trying to make is that the 49ers have their schedule, but it can be easy to them and most of the NFC North is not that good. Given the league’s recent history, I would suspect that the two NFC wild card spots will go to the NFC South with either New Orleans, Atlanta, or Carolina winning them with the other team winning the division. They beat a good New Orleans team and lost a overtime game to the Giants. Given that they will face New Orleans and Green Bay, it is a testament to their skill and proof that the NFL Playoffs is a crapshoot.

The Cowboys......
shouldn’t be better than 30-1. Bookies know where the emotional money is going to go and they have to hedge for that.
The Chiefs.......
have a defense, and 60 million under he cap.
they also lost

jamaal charles(week 2)
tony moeaki(pre-season)
jonathan baldwin(fractured hand in off season)
i’d expect them with their best defensive players injured and returning for them to re-tool the o-line and make a division run at least

As it sits currently he just hasn’t been given enough support to surround himself with. He’s got some great skill players but that line has been a patchwork since he started his career with the Cowboys.

4,184 Yds, 31 TDs, only 10 INTs
Romo did not disappoint in 2011, moron. The Dallas Cowboys did, as a TEAM. Romo played his heart out… (not to mention his ribs and lungs as well) to put this team in the best position to be there in the end. You’re a fool if you think Romo is the culprit.
"You try and work hard and get better each week. I play the game with passion. I enjoy the game. It's a lot of fun when I'm out there. That's the way I play. For some reason, people like that." - Tony Romo
Like McLovin, Brandon is a confirmed Romo hater
They all blame Romo no matter how great he plays and if they ever win a SB, will not give him an ounce of credit as well.
In Romo we Trust
Like Terry...
… no matter how great he plays and if they ever win a SB, will not give him an ounce of credit as well
Oops, that was you about Eli “cooler than the other side of the pillow” Manning and the no credit thing. How’d ya spell that again? h-y-p-o-c-r- what?
That's one small step...
If the Cowboys fix their defense and interior OL
They will be as good as anyone….6 new starters oughta do the trick
In Romo we Trust
Isn't that a lot to replace in one year?

I don't think we're in Texas anymore, Toto
This is the wonderous world of IF, where unicorn-crapped rainbows are leprechaun’s gold. Or’s that one unicorn’s crap is another leprechaun’s gold? Or…
That's one small step...
At this moment, without the draft, without free agency starting and all that, I like Seattle at 50/1.

Gonna have to say if Washington gets a qb
We don’t gotta worry about Philly redskins d will out Philly out lol. When will Vegas learn Andy Reid can’t win a Superbowl.

Even if the Redskins get a QB, they'll still have a garbage offense
"The tone is business," Garrett said. "Let's get to work. The Giants are going to be at the Meadowlands on Sunday at 4:15. They're an awfully good football team. We have to get ready for them."

hmm
I gotta say, I like the Saints and Texans with those odds.
New Orleans was a tiebraker away from having home playoff games this year, where they routed the competition including the GIants. I wouldn’t take ANYONE in that dome over them.
The texans are just a complete team. Watt was a helluva draft pick, they look like they have a future all pro on their hands. Maybe losing guys like Myers and Mario will hurt them?
I actually kind of think the Giants need more love in those rankings. Eli was superb, JPP seems to be entering elite territory, and they have the talent on the DL and in the secondary to make another run. This is a far more complete team than the 2007 version. I’d switch them and Philly.
I think our ranking is reasonable. Dallas, Baltimore and NYJ are flawed teams – them with qb play, us with our defense. At this point, there is no reason to say we’d be a super bowl team next year other than hope we can sign or draft a pass rush talent.
I like the Texans Also
I would say had they had Schaub Healthy, The NFL is crowning them Champs….
I doubt The Giants beat a Healthy Texans Team(they barely beat a beat up New England team)
Not trying to take away what the Giants D did(that D-Line was textbook the last drive), but I doubt that against a healthy Texan Team, who could actually run the ball, with a Healthy Schaub tossing to Andre(who missed alot of this season)
the Texans are going to be scary next year, especially if they can resign Mario to a reasonable deal.
Here’s a theoretical play from 2010: Snap. Tony takes 7 step drop. Tony looks left at Miles, who is doubled, and looks right to where Roy Williams should be…but instead sees Colombo on his back and a Defensive End foaming at the mouth jumping over Marc’s carcass. Tony proceeds to run like hell and look for Witten

Now, if somebody doesn’t agree with that, that’s cool. I also don’t agree with the fact that I don’t have $10 million in my bank account. But the fact that I don’t agree with it doesn’t make it any less true.

They don't need Mario.
"Obviously, I felt like if I ran into my lineman there it was going to help the play" ~Tony Romo
I was shocked how well they did without Schaub
that is one solid team.
Don't believe everything you think.
You guys are over-valuing Schaub. The reason they did so well without him is because he’s not that good. There was very little drop off from him to the second string.

If I had to bet on one of them
I think New Orleans is the best value at 10-1. As long as they can play at home in the playoffs, they look rock-solid.
