Superbowl XL Betting Odds: Brady Bunch back in Contention

For the second week running, those following the bettingchoice.com NFL advice were celebrating a profit. For the first live NFL game, it was advised to back the overs (43.5points) in Atlanta Falcons/New England Patriots.A few hours before kick-off, news filtered through that Michael Vick was out injured. This caused the bookies to lower the total points and install the Patriots as favourites.The latter proved the correct decision as the Champions won by a field goal in a 59 point thriller. Tom Brady once again showed his love of Domes throwing for 350 yards and three Touchdowns, including a 55 yard bomb to Bethal Johnson. New England are back into second favourites having once again proved that no matter how many injuries they suffer, they found a way to get the job done. The general price on offer for the Patriots is 6/1. Still at the top of the betting list are Indianapolis, who brushed aside San Francisco 49ers with ease. Ultimately, the Colts defense was too much for rookie Alex Smith to handle in his first NFL start. He was intercepted four times and sacked five times. Indianapolis are the only franchise in the NFL to be unbeaten following defeats to Cincinnati, Washington, and Tampa Bay. The most shocking result from week 5 was arguably the thrashing handed out by Dallas over division rivals Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys victory only confirms the NFC East as the toughest division with all four teams capable to finishing first.
