2009 NFL Futures Odds
August 12, 2009
Ahhhh…the sweet stench of the sportsbook. Must mean Fall is around the corner and with it the start of another NFL season. We even have Week #1 lines. But, really, that’s just our Methadone. Just a little taste to keep us from violent withdrawals (read: betting on horseracing onilne…don’t tell me you haven’t been there). The only real NFL fix we can get our hands on between now and Labor Day are Futures. Futures are the most honest bet in sports. You really think your team has a shot? Ok, how much are you willing to drop on them winning it all? You might hate your archrival, but do you hate them enough not to bet on them to take the division when you know they will?
So, let’s see what the bookmakers think of your team’s chances in 2009
2009 NFL Futures Odds Highlights
- Tom Brady’s return has the Patriots out front at 4/1 to win the Super Bowl
- Only the Lions can make 100/1 seem like poor value
- The defending champion Steelers are expected to challenge for the title again at 10-1
- The runner-up Cardinals not-so-much at 30/1
- Bookmakers are predicting Jay Cutler’s arrival in Chicago will give the Bears a shot in the arm as they are 12/1 to win it all
