Colts favoured for Super Bowl XLIV glory – Online Casino News
As this season’s National Football League (NFL) playoffs get underway this weekend, the Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers sit atop the list of favourites to win Super Bowl XLIV next month.
The Colts finished the regular season with 14 triumphs and only two defeats to win its AFC South division and is now resting up in preparation for the victor of this weekend’s Wild-Card game.
PaddyPower.com and StanJames.com are offering Indianapolis at odds of 5/2 to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy on February 7 in Miami while SportingBet.com, BoyleSports.com, BlueSq.com, 888Sport.com and Ladbrokes.com show 11/4.
Slightly longer, punters can get odds of 147/50 from Betfair.com on the Colts winning its third Super Bowl title while WBX.com is showing 281/100 followed by BetDaq.com, SkyBet.com, BetFred.com, ToteSport.com, WilliamHill.com and Coral.co.uk with 3/1.
Indianapolis’ two defeats came during its final pair of regular season match-ups as the franchise rested key players in preparation for the playoffs. However, this strategy could backfire as personnel relax in advance of one of the biggest games of their lives with Bet365.com listing the Colts at odds of 16/5 to win the Super Bowl followed by ExtraBet.com with 10/3.
The San Diego Chargers have been underdogs for post-season success right from the beginning and have only recently seriously come into the reckoning. After finishing with a record of 13 victories and three defeats and winning its AFC West division, SportingBet.com, ToteSport.com, BlueSq.com, PaddyPower.com, Ladbrokes.com and ExtraBet.com list the California franchise at odds of 7/2 to win Super Bowl XLIV.
The Chargers share its division with the Denver Broncos and was overshadowed somewhat as the Colorado franchise went undefeated into November while San Diego lost three of its first five games. However, it soon recovered with WilliamHill.com, Coral.co.uk, BoyleSports.com, Stanjames.com, BetFred.com and Bet365.com showing odds of 4/1 on a first Super Bowl title for the Chargers.
In order to make it to the Super Bowl, San Diego may well have to face Indianapolis and the New England Patriots, a fact that has seen WBX.com lengthen its odds on Chargers success to 43/10 while BetDaq.com is going with 9/2.
