2011 Superbowl Odds: Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints shocked the world by brining home the franchise’s first ever Superbowl title at the expense of Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts. But even as people in the French Quarter celebrated a Vince Lombardi Trophy, by passing out beads and drinking booze, the rest of the league prepared for a chance to be in that very same position a year from now. This year’s runners up are no different.
According to Indianapolis Colts’ team president, Bill Polian, the 2009-10 season is now a distant memory and it’s time to gear up for another title-run. “If you’re a professional, you recognize that what happens in this game is in the here and now, not the past. You focus on the future,” Polian said. “You focus on the task at hand. That’s what you are required to do, that’s what successful teams do.”
But how good of a chance will the Colts have to get back to the big game and how will their loss in Miami affect them from a psychological standpoint? According to 2011 Superbowl Odds makers at BODOG.com, the Indianapolis Colts [7/1] have been listed as the sports betting odds favorites to finish the job and win the 2011 Superbowl.
But if the Colts are to have a chance to play in February in back-to-back years there are going to have to be some changes done, contracts renegotiated and zero thoughts about what went wrong in Miami, Florida. “We’ll do what we can to improve and we’ll do it with the idea that every season is a new season,” Polian added. “There is no carryover. There’s no hangover, there’s no carryover, it’s a brand new season. We are well on the way to dealing with 2010.”
