It took all of a New York minute for the odds makers to release their 2013 Super Bowl Odds, and, somewhat shockingly, the newly minted champion Giants, at 15 to 1 odds, find themselves looking up at teams like Houston (12/1), Pittsburgh (12/1), New Orleans (8/1), and Philadelphia (12/1). The favorite to win the Lombardi next year is none other than Super Bowl XLV winner Green Bay at 6 to 1 odds. The favorite out of the AFC is yesterday’s loser, New England, at 7 to 1 odds.
The ticker-tape has yet to be cleaned up from yesterday’s championship celebration in Indianapolis, but somehow the Giants are still in an underdog role of sorts with three NFC teams favored to beat them out in the race to win Super Bowl XLVII. While New York, which figures to be right in the thick of things next year, may take offense, it probably should not.
There have been a number of repeat Super Bowl winners but it is by no means common for a team to win back-to-back championships. Only eight times in the 46 year history of the Super Bowl has a team repeated and the last club to do it was the Tom Brady led Patriots in 2004 and 2005.
The Giants would seemingly have the makings to win it all next season, though, as Eli Manning and a majority of the team’s top performers, including Justin Tuck, Jason Pierre-Paul, Hakeem Nicks, Victor Cruz, Ahmad Bradshaw, and Kenny Phillips, all return. And while a back-to-back title would defy the odds, New York, especially at 15 to 1 odds, is worth a long look.
However, the Packers, the favorite to win Super Bowl XLVI, should provide some stiff competition for the likes of New York, New England, and New Orleans. Green Bay nearly put together a perfect regular season, but its mistake laden divisional round playoff loss to the Giants ended what many believed would be an inevitable run to Lucas Oil Stadium. With Aaron Rodgers still throwing the ball for Green Bay, the Packers will have an opportunity to make amends for that setback and potentially bring another Lombardi back to Wisconsin.
