Odds to win Super Bowl 2010: Bookmakers who make the odds to win the 2010 Superbowl lose plenty of sleep from the moment they put out a point spread. This year the Superbowl is expected to have the biggest handle of all-time and the books are praying that they can keep things balanced and not lose the shirts off their backs. Below is an in-depth look at the odds to win the Superbowl and how our Superbowl predictions staff feels about them. The Colts vs Saints Odds to win Super Bowl 2010 is -6 at SPORTSBETTING.COM.

Our Superbowl picks staff expected the Indianapolis Colts to be favored at -3.5 when the Superbowl odds were released based more on public perception than anything. What is fresh in fans memory is usually what the all powerful Superbowl betting public put their money on and the Colts demolition of the Jets #1 defense was impressive. The Saints meanwhile scraped by a Vikings team that should probably be playing in Superbowl XLIV and that was viewed as lucky by many.

Believe it or not however our power ratings have the Saints as a stronger team and the “actual” spread we have is New Orleans -2. Giving the Colts the all critical +3 on the spread is too much but -2 is what the number should be the way the Colts vs. Saints match-up on fundamental handicapping principles. The Colts vs Saints Odds to win Super Bowl 2010 Total is at 57.0 points.

The Total on this game is extraordinarily high and it should be. In today’s NFL game where wideouts and quarterbacks are more protected better than mob rats this game will see plenty of scoring. While sharp handicapping usually favors taking the UNDER for this game that principle can be thrown out the window. Both teams have holes on defense and great skill players. Betting against Drew Brees and Peyton Manning to score points when both are on the field is never a good idea.
