The New York Giants weren't expected to even win the NFC East division this season, never mind the Super Bowl – so it's not much of a surprise that they're not at the top of the odds to win Super Bowl XLVII at Bovada Sportsbook.
Find the complete list of the opening odds for Super Bowl XLVII right now at Bovada Sportsbook.
The Giants got strong performances from each of Eli Manning, Ahmad Bradshaw, and Hakeem Nicks on Sunday as they grabbed a 21-17 win over the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl in Indianapolis. That makes two championships now for Manning.
However, if Manning is going to guide his team to a third title next season he'll have to do it by starting out at just 15/1 on the opening Super Bowl XLVII odds at Bovada Sportsbook.
The Green Bay Packers are the very-early favorites to win next year's big game at 6/1, followed by the Patriots at 7/1, the Saints at 8/1, and each of the Texans, Eagles, and Steelers at 12/1. The Ravens then sit at 14/1 odds before we find the Giants at 15/1.
New York went just 9-7 straight up during the regular season, but claimed the NFC East title after both the Eagles and the Cowboys turned in disappointing 8-8 campaigns. The Giants were also 8-7-1 against the spread for NFL bettors in 2011.
Manning seems to be hitting his stride as an NFL quarterback, posting a QB Rating of 92.9 this season with 4,933 passing yards, 29 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions – down from 25 interceptions during the 2010 season. As well, top weapons Nicks and Victor Cruz at wide receiver still have room to grow.
One key piece of business for New York this offseason might be trading defensive lineman Osi Umenyiora; he has one more year left on his current contract, but wants a new deal.
