Joseph Addai 2010 Super Bowl MVP Betting Odds: With no running game to speak of, the Indianapolis Colts have made it all the way to the American Football Conference’s Championship game. First-year coach Jim Caldwell and his team now have just one more obstacle to overcome before reaching the 2010 Super Bowl next month in Miami, Florida. However, with the type of running game Indy displayed through the regular season, that clearly makes the Colts very one-dimensional and it certainly puts all the pressure on quarterback Peyton Manning to carry the load offensively.
Needless to say that going up against the NFL’s top-ranked defense on Championship Sunday, Manning and the Colts are going to need their running game to chew up some clock. But, let’s pretend that the Colts do get past the New York Jets and go on to win the 2010 Super Bowl, what are the chances that the Most Valuable Player ends up being running back, Joseph Addai in a monumental upset!
According to 2010 Super Bowl experts at SPORTSBOOK.com, the odds that Colts running back Joseph Addai [15/1 or +1500 ML] shocking the world by running away with the 2010 Super Bowl MVP Betting Odds hardware is highly unlikely. In fact, only three players currently have worse sports betting odds to be crowned the 2010 Super Bowl MVPs.
“I think everybody has been watching what happened in the past,” Addai stated. “You’ve got to understand, we’ve been watching the same thing too. We’ve been doing the same thing. Each year is a different year. Understanding what we have as a unit and just go out there and play each game as it’s our last and not worried about what happened in the past.”
It’s almost hard to believe that the Colts got past the Ravens in the AFC Divisional game with Addai rushing for an unbelievable weak, 23 yards on 11 attempts. One can also assure that, that effort simply will not get it done against a defense like the Jets and Rex Ryan.
“Every time we play Baltimore it’s a tough battle, regardless of regular season or playoffs,” Addai said after the 20-3 victory. “It doesn’t really make a difference. It’s always a tough battle. I think we came out there hard, fought really hard and got the ‘W’.”
Nevertheless, a win in the NFL is a win no matter how ugly. Furthermore, one can only imagine how significant winning a playoff game must be for any team, in spite of how insignificant an individual player’s performance might have been. Addai is no different than any other NFL pro!
“It feels good,” said the former 30th overall pick. “Regardless, in the NFL it’s hard to get a win period. In the playoffs, that says a lot about your team. Now, we will enjoy the win and kind of move on and go to the next game.”
