Superbowl Betting Odds
The Superbowl is fast approaching and betting odds for what is the most watched sporting event in the World are already proving popular as fans begin to make predictions of which team they think will win Superbowl XLIII, which takes place on Sunday 1st February 2009. The current favourites for the title are current Super Bowl champions, the New York Giants who are best price 3/1 with Bet365 to regain their crown for a second year running. However, the Giants recorded just one in their final four regular season games, suggesting they are not the unbeatable force that many had been predicteding. Tom Coughlin's team are arguably one of the best sides in the League and last year's experiences are sure to prove useful but they should be taken on as the favourites especially with the impact of the off field incident involving star Receiver, Plaxico Buress still unknown on the rest of the team.

If the Giants do fail then it could well be the in form Carolina Panthers who will be representing the NFC at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida. The Panthers have force all season, surprising many on their way to a 12-4 season with all aspects of their game seemingly well tuned. They should have no problem in seeing off the Arizona Cardinals to book their place in the NFC Conference game.
In the battle for the AFC, it looks like a three way battle between Pittsburgh Steelers, Tennessee Titans and the Baltimore Ravens. Tennessee hold home field advantage of that trio but may struggle to make it count against a very efficient and in form Baltimore Ravens team in Saturday's Divisional clash. The Steelers should overcome the San Diego Chargers, leaving a rematch between bitter rivals, the Steelers and Ravens in the AFC Conference game. The last time the sides met, the Steelers edged a defensive encounter with a last gasp dubious touch down decision, something the Ravens will be keen to seek revenge for.
A rookie Quarterback has never won a Superbowl ring, but in Joe Flaco, the Ravens have a leader who is mature beyond his years and at 8/1 it could well be worth chancing that he will become the first rookie to lead his team to Superbowl glory.
