Without a clear favorite to win the Superbowl at this point, sprinkling a few teams is a viable option.
The 2011 Superbowl betting market is open and of note it has NO HEAVY FAVORITE. The team that is the favorite in the market, the Indianapolis Colts, are priced pretty long at +900 with at least one sportsbook while the defending champions, the New Orleans Saints, are +1100 and are tied as with San Diego as the second favorite.
Here are the best prices that our staff found for the top 12 teams to win the 2011 Superbowl outright:
1. Indianapolis Colts +900 Bodog
2. San Diego Chargers +1100 Victor Chandler
3. New Orleans Saints +1100 Bodog
4. Dallas Cowboys +1200 SportingBet
5. Green Bay Packers +1400 Coral
6. New England Patriots +1400 Ladbrokes
7. Baltimore Ravens +1600 Coral
8. New York Jets +1600 Coral
9. Minnesota Vikings +1600 SportingBet
10. Pittsburgh Steelers +2500 Victor Chandler
11. Philadelphia Eagles +2500 bet365
12. New York Giants +2800 Bodog

For those that are just going to bet their favorite team and be done with it, make sure you seek out the best price to do that. But when a market lacks a heavy favorite then it is a great opportunity for the value bettor to back several teams each of which may be underrated by a sportsbook.
These teams could be considered underrated at the prices offered:
New Orleans at +1100 with Bodog (SportingBet have them at +850 as a contrast)
Philadelphia at +2500 with bet365 (SkyBet have them at +1600)
San Diego at +1100 with Victor Chandler (Paddy Power have them at +800)
Our recommendation is to back these three teams now with a light bet. There is still plenty of time before the regular season starts but often as the season approaches, prices on favorites shorten while prices on the longshots lengthen. To be sure you get a good price - bet now.
