VIP.com Superbowl Odds

VIP.com has updated its NFL Super Bowl odds. This list has certainly shrunk with just the playoff teams remaining, and it looks like at least 10 of these squads have a legitimate chance to win the whole thing. Odds to win the Super Bowl are in parenthesis.

1) San Diego Chargers, 14-2 (12:5)

A 14-2 season and a ten game winning streak speak for itself, but no one is ready to anoint this team just yet. Having Marty Schottenheimer at the helm, and a playoff rookie at quarterback, are the two main reasons why.

2) Baltimore Ravens, 13-3 (19:4)

Baltimore’s defense is every bit as good as the 2000 team that won the Super Bowl. Plus, quarterback Steve McNair and the offense are a heck of a lot more balanced than the Trent Dilfer led squad. You have to like the Ravens chances this year.

3) Chicago Bears, 13-3 (5:1)

Chicago’s Super Bowl hopes rest on two words, Rex Grossman. The Bears quarterback has not shown that he can play three solid games in a row. The good news is that the Chicago defense is usually good enough to compensate for him.

4) New Orleans Saints, 10-6 (8:1)

New Orleans is very fortunate to be playing in the NFC and earning a bye. The Saints have actually played better on the road this year than at home, and they will likely give the Bears all they can handle if they meet in the NFC championship game.

5) New England Patriots, 12-4 (17:2)

Almost all of the key players on this team have Super Bowl experience, and New England will not be intimated by playing on the road, where they went 7-1 this year. A mediocre passing attack may be the only thing holding this team back.

6) Indianapolis Colts, 12-4 (10:1)

The Colts were not able to make the Super Bowl last year with home field advantage and a far superior defense. Still, any team with quarterback Peyton Manning is dangerous, and perhaps the Colts will fare better as an underdog.

7) Philadelphia Eagles 10-6 (12:1)

Star quarterback, Donovan McNabb goes down to injury, and backup Jeff Garcia leads the team to a Super Bowl victory. It sounds like a Hollywood script, but it could be the real life story of this Eagles team that is peaking at the right time.

8) Seattle Seahawks, 9-7 (25:1)

The defending NFC champions haven’t played like it all year, although injuries did play a large part. Even with the key parts healthy, the Seahawks still look like they lack the “Eye of the Tiger”. A first round playoff win could change all that though.

9) Dallas Cowboys, 9-7 (28:1)

Despite their recent swoon, Dallas has the best chance of the Wild Card teams to win three straight road games and make the Super Bowl. That is what the World Champion Steelers did last year, but Dallas must get their act together quick.

10) New York Giants, 8-8 (35:1)

The Giants are lucky to even be in the playoffs at 8-8, but their talent level exceeds their record. Eli Manning struggled in his only playoff appearance last year, and he will need to be near perfect for this team to have a chance.

11) Kansas City Chiefs, 9-7 (50:1)

Kansas City is the true surprise team in the playoffs as no one expected Denver to lose to San Francisco at home last week. Still, a visit to Indianapolis this week could mean the Chiefs are “one and done.”

12) New York Jets, 10-6 (55:1)

Kudos all around for the J-E-T-S, who exceeded everyone’s expectations at 10-6. New York has a very tough opening match-up at New England, and this team could prove to be a year away from serious contention.
