Super Bowl XXXIX Betting Odds

New England beat the Indianapolis Colts 20-3 in the AFC divisional play-off. The win sends the defending Super Bowl champions into the AFC championship game for the third time in four years. The Patriots will play Pittsburgh who scraped through against New York Jets in overtime. The Steelers were fortunate not to be knocked out when the Jets missed a field goal in the final seconds of regulation time. Whoever wins the AFC Championship game will undoubtedly be favourite to win Superbowl. New England are currently favourites with the majority of firms, although Paddy Power look to have taken a small chance offering a best price 7/4. The NFC Championship game will be contested by Atlanta and Philadelphia. The Falcons powered past St.Louis Rams with over 300 yards rushing, while the Eagles took care of Minnesota Vikings despite being without Terrell Owens. This will be the fourth year running that Philadelphia Eagles will play in the Championship game. The past three times has ended in defeat. The best price available on the Eagles is 3/1 at VC Bet. Finally it is worth mentioning that whatever happens to Atlanta next weekend, the readaBet.com coffers are guaranteed a decent boost. The Falcons were a recommended buy on the Sporting Index 100 Index at 25 (Winner 100pts, Runner-Up 75pts, Conference game 50pts). The current quote is 59-62. A decision on whether to close out before next Sunday will be made later this week. Atlanta are considered the 7/1 outsiders to win in Jacksonville on February 6th
