Utah-Alabama Odds Stay Steady After Andre Smith Suspended

Alabama has suspended All-American left tackle Andre Smith, but the sportsbooks seem pretty unfazed. The Crimson Ttide remain a 10-point favorite according to the betting odds.

Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy CEO of OffshoreInsiders.com states, "It's very rare when the status of one defensive player has a major affect on the betting odds."

Playoff NFL Odds to Win the Super Bowl Released; Which Manning Is the Favorite?

 

The media has crowned the Indianapolis Colts as the odds on favorites to win Super Bowl XLIII, but the oddsmakers say not so fast.

According to Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy, who is widely accepted as the top NFL betting expert ever, BetUs football says that four NFL teams are more likely to win the Super Bowl than the Colts if one is to believe the betting lines.

The sportsbooks agree that Manning will quarterback his team to victory, but it will be Eli for the second straight year.

The odds to win the Super Bowl have the NY Giants at +250 to repeat. The most likely AFC team is the squad that got humiliated by the Colts yesterday. The Tennessee Titans are +500.

The Pittsburgh Steelers, despite the concussion of Ben Roethlisberger are next at +550. Erratic but the dangerous Carolina Panthers are +600, while Indianapolis is a long shot at +800.

Want to ride the team that got hot at the right time? San Diego is +1200, the same odds assigned to the Baltimore Ravens. Rounding out the dark horses, the Atlanta Falcons are +2000, while the Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings are +2800.

Given absolutely no respect are the Arizona Cardinals at +4000. With a Super Bowl winning QB, Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com thinks the Cards are a decent long shot. "How can Tarvaris Jackson be +2800 and Kurt Warner +4000?" asks the famed betting blogger.
