Updated Super Bowl odds for the 2012 Super Bowl
Updated Super Bowl odds for the 2012 Super Bowl

There are just four teams left in the 2012 NFL playoffs and the latest odds have changed to reflect that. All of the odds for the Super bowl in this article can be found at Bet Phoenix the top rated online football betting sportsbook.

1. New England Patriots (-105)

Things have fallen into place nicely for the Patriots. They only had to beat a mediocre Broncos team to get to the AFC title game.

The recipe to beat New England in the playoffs was simple: have a pass rush and a quarterback. Well, the best quarterbacks have been knocked out.

Baltimore is a difficult test, but the Patriots are a much different team than they were in 2009 when the Ravens won in Foxborough. They have won in a variety of ways. More importantly, Tom Brady has Wes Welker, Rob Gronkowski, and Aaron Hernandez at his disposal.

The Patriots' defense has also quietly improved. They are healthier than they have been all year with safety Patrick Chung and linebacker Brandon Spikes both making a huge difference.

New England gets the top spot on my list because they have the last transcendent quarterback left in the field. In a one-game situation, I’ll still take Tom Brady at quarterback and Bill Belichick drawing up a gameplan.

Brady and Belichick will only get so many chances to win one more title. They know what a great opportunity they have in front of them.

2. San Francisco 49ers (+295)

If the 49ers can survive that game against New Orleans, they can survive anything. The 49ers have the best group of defensive players remaining. Justin Smith, Aldon Smith, Patrick Willis, and Navorro Bowman are all among the best at their positions. Jim Harbaugh is on a serious playcalling roll and the 49ers showed against New Orleans they can win any kind of game. They love the slugfest and Alex Smith showed they can come from behind too.

3. New York Giants (+325)

Winning in Green Bay and San Francisco in back-to-back weeks is a tall order. The Giants can match up with any team’s talent, but scoring on the 49ers will be difficult. New York’s sagging running game figures to be stuffed.

The Falcons and Packers haven’t had the horses to show the holes in New York’s pass protection, but the 49ers can get to any quarterback. Just ask Drew Brees.

The Giants are peaking at the right time and they will get a lot of comparisons to the ’07 title team. They remind me more of the ’08 Eagles. That Philadelphia team was talented, got hot late in the year, and then lost in the NFC Championship game in Arizona just when everyone expected them to win.

4. Baltimore Ravens (+675)

The gap between the Ravens and Patriots is not great, but Baltimore finished fourth in my little exercise for a few reasons.

They don’t have the best remaining defense left. That belongs to the 49ers. San Francisco is more physical, too.

Houston dominated the line of scrimmage against Baltimore. The Texans were the better running team, and they had the better pass rush.

Baltimore had the better quarterback against Houston, but that won’t be true against the Patriots. And it won’t be true if the Ravens faced the Giants; Joe Flacco simply hasn’t played that well down the stretch this season.

Could the Ravens win it all? Of course. But they are playing on the road Sunday and don’t seem to be playing their best football. As we learned Sunday, that can all change in one performance.

It doesn’t matter what type of teams are left, anything can happen and with some great odds on certain teams betting on one of these great teams can really turn a profit in the Super Bowl.
