Buffalo Bills 50-1 to win 2013 Super Bowl
on January 17th, 2012
The Las Vegas Hilton has just released 2013 Super Bowl future odds, for all NFL teams including the Buffalo Bills. According to oddsmakers, the Bills are 50-1 to win the Super Bowl next year. Frankly, that seems rather generous to the Bills after a remarkable collapse to end of the 2011-12 season.
Not surprisingly, the most heavily favored teams include the Green Bay Packers (5/1), New Orleans Saints (6/1) and New England Patriots (8/1).
At 50/1, the Bills aren't the biggest long shot to win the next Super Bowl. Four teams have 100/1 odds to win it all: Cleveland, Washington, St. Louis and Jacksonville. So we have that going for us.
Also, there are 9 other teams with the same odds as the Bills (50/1). That list includes the Broncos, Chiefs, Dolphins, Raiders, Cardinals, Seahawks, Titans, Vikings and Buccaneers.
Here is the complete list of Super Bowl odds:
AFC:
New England Patriots 8/1
Pittsburgh Steelers 12/1
Baltimore Ravens 12/1
San Diego Chargers 15/1
Houston Texans 15/1
New York Jets 20/1
