For the first time in Saints history, the team that only lost three games in the 2009/2010 season, will finally play in a Super Bowl game this February 7th in Miami. Due to this obvious lack of Super Bowl experience, Las Vegas oddsmakers have opened the Super Bowl odds with the Colts as a four-point favorite.
Aside from the fact that Peyton Manning and the Colts have previous Super Bowl experience, Vegas oddsmakers say that Sunday’s game against the Vikings also played a big part in deciding the Super Bowl 2010 odds.
“I think the Saints are very fortunate to be in there,” said Jay Kornegay, executive director of the Las Vegas Hilton’s race and sports book . “To get five turnovers at home and having to go to overtime to win it, I don’t think they were playing that well.”
On the other hand the Colts have been quite consistent throughout the season, while the Saints have had some very close calls including Sunday night’s game where the Vikings gained 218 more yards and had double the first downs as the Saints. That game went into overtime with the Saints winning by only a field goal, 31-28.
The MGM Mirage’s race and sports book director Jay Rood stated that soon after the Saints won against the Vikings, bettors were already taking the Colts to win the Super Bowl. One of the main reasons for this trend was because the Saints didn’t cover the spread and bettors usually won’t pick the team that hurt them a second time.
“They don’t usually come right back on the team that just burned them on a bet,” said Rood.
