Post Draft Odds to win Super Bowl 2014

The Denver Broncos were co-favorites to win the 2013-14 Super Bowl before the 2013 NFL Draft. Now there's a new Number One, standing alone.

 

 

The Broncos' Super Bowl odds have dropped

 

 

Oddsmakers have been consistent about which two teams they think will appear in Super Bowl XLVIII on February 2, 2014. They just now have a favorite to win it.

 

The San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos will duke it out for the 2013 NFL season's championship in New York this winter, if Vegas has it right. The 49ers are their current favorites, with 6/1 odds to win it all. The Broncos are second, with 15/2 odds to win their third Super Bowl in franchise history. These odds are according toBovada.lv.

 

What's interesting is that the odds for the 49ers have increased, while the odds for the Broncos have slipped slightly. Less than a week after free agency, the 49ers and Broncos were co-favorites to win Super Bowl XLVIII, with 7/1 odds. So what brought about the change?

 

In our opinion, it probably doesn't have anything to do with the draft

. It has to do withElvis Dumervil.

 

These are the first odds Bovada has released since Dumervil's departure later in March.

 

So while they're called the "post-draft odds", it really isn't the draft that had anything to with the change.

 

It was a fax machine.

 

Explain that one to bettors.

Let San Fran get all the media love & distractions that accompany the SB favorites title. It always works out better to be under the radar anyway. I don't trust the Falcons. They haven't shown me toughness & intestinal fortitude yet. The AFC SB candidate will come down to either NE or Denver just like clockwork. The Colts need to win their division first. 

 

Actually, I'd love to see a Seattle vs Denver SB actually. That would be fascinating. Russell Wilson's elusive mobility vs Peyton Manning robot brain that slices apart secondary's with surgical precision.

Either that or a Packers Vs Patriots SB. Now, that GB acquired 2 solid RBs in Eddie Lacey & Jonathan Franklin that changes everything in my book. Protect Aaron Rodgers & let the touchdown bullets fly...

 

 

I wanna how well well WR Danny Amendola fits in New England's new scheme too. Let's rock-n-roll baby! Yeah!  :rock:

Makes sense. The 49ers look like they'll be even better in '13 and the Broncos will be a solid team and have a favorable schedule.

to me this is basically even, 1 person spent a buck more on Broncos etc 

 

As writer noted I agree the Doom Loss is a big issue in odds changing

To be honest, I would give a running team with a QB that can pass like the 49ers, Seahawks, and Redskins higher odds in the NFC once they get to the SB in the outdoor weather of NYJ over a dome team like the Falcons or Saints.

 

If, for some reason, a dome team like the Falcons or Saints team makes it to the SB, the outdoor AFC team, whether it is Pats, Broncos, Steelers, or Ravens should be favored, IMO. If I am an AFC team fan, that is what I root for to represent the NFC. :)

IMO, never bet on teams with QBs aged 35+ to win it all......it's not impossible but history does not favor it either unless the team likely has a dominant run game and/or defense IMO.

 

I also read that the average age of the 13 Super Bowl winning QBs before this recent 2013 Super Bowl was 27.8 years too.

Don't forget how tough it is for the Super Bowl LOSER to get back to the big one too.....

 

Then again I am not sure I could ever count out Jim Harbaugh's boys.....and he probably still thinks the refs cost them too and they really won it. :)

 

The league will be full of some postseason surprises again next year anyway, as usual.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/rams-tried-to-trade-up-for-brock-bowers-then-byron-murphy   You seem to be right.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By w87r · Posted

      Read this this morning. Thought it was interesting    https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/indianapolis-colts/news/colts-rams-nfl-draft-trade-offer-revealed-rejected/be019bcd2ee81b6ffeb4656e     "This was the rejected trade offer from the Rams to the Colts in the first round:     Rams get: Nos. 15, 191   Colts get: Nos. 19, 99, 154   While that's the kind of deal Chris Ballard would be expected to take in the past, the Colts clearly had an eye for edge rusher Laiatu Latu.   It's clear that it would have taken much more in the offer for the Colts to move off the chance of selecting the prospect they believe was the best defender in the entire draft.   There were a few viable prospects available at the time so it would have made sense for the Colts to trade back.   But this only proves how convicted they were in draft Latu."     Not too surprised we turnt that down as it has us losing on the draft chart by a little bit, but does show the conviction they had in Latu.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      Offense wins in the league now and to take it a step further the QB is by far the lost important piece on any team.    So, on offense you need the best possible QB with the best possible supporting cast and on defense you need players who can affect the play of the opposing QBs directly.

      This is definitely an issue. So, either Ballard is A.) Cheap and he doesn't want to spend money on FAs (even with injuries happening) or B.) He can't build a competitive enough team to attract any worthwhile FA's after 7 going on 8 years now.    If AR and the current team can't attract FAs that could theoretically get a starting job at the S position for a year, then we are in big trouble according to the opinions of the players of the NFL. Personally, I think Ballard just avoids FA so much that he doesn't want to bring outside help in. He wants to be known as the GM who builds his team from the draft.   Wish the local media would call him out on this.

      I think the Colts have the money to be competitive for a good free agent safety.  I think bringing in one of them may depend on whether a player like Simmons wants to play for the Colts.  They may be hoping to sign for a team with a better chance of making the playoffs.   So I don’t know if Ballard is making a statement or not?     Hope my answer makes sense to you….
