As we count down the days until we determine a matchup for 2012 Super Bowl XLVI (46), we're already looking ahead to next year, at the odds to win the NFL's ultimate prize in 2013 at Super Bowl XLVII (47).
Despite a premature exit from the postseason, a 15-1 record and their place as reigning Super Bowl champs for another couple weeks has the Packers in Vegas' top position to win the Super Bowl in 2013. Mike McCarthy and the Packers are followed by fellow NFC Playoff disappointment, the New Orleans Saints, and the New England Patriots represent the AFC's best odds (and very well may win it all in 2012).
There's a lot of temptation in the 20/1 spot (Cowboys, Jets, Lions and Falcons all are solid bets at that price), but our favorite number is the Colts at 40/1. Sure, they finished with last year's worst record, but should Peyton Manning return to the club in 2012-13, bookies will be sweating those rich odds throughout the season.
The complete odds to win 2013 Super Bowl XLVII (47) are below:
Green Bay Packers +500
New Orleans Saints +600
New England Patriots +800
Pittsburgh Steelers +1200
Philadelphia Eagles +1200
