The upcoming 2012 Super Bowl XLVI (46) will be our fifth Super Bowl here at Stock Lemon, when we entered the Super Bowl proposition betting foray with this post. There's a very good chance that our fifth Super Bowl looks a lot like our first.
With both the Giants and Patriots advancing to their respective conference championship games, we could have a rematch of the 2008 Super Bowl XLII (42) game that saw the Giants upset the then undefeated Patriots, thanks to some memorable plays along the way.
A look at the current odds to win 2012 Super Bowl XLVI (46) reveal that bettors think a rematch is a likely scenario:
Updated odds to win 2012 Super Bowl XLVI (46)
Patriots... 10/11
Giants... 7/2
49ers... 7/2
Ravens... 6/1
If it does come to fruition, expect a ton of prop bets comparing the two games, i.e. Tom Brady's passing yards in Super Bowl XLII vs. Super Bowl XLVI. (A Giants/Ravens matchup would also lend to such Super Bowl comparison props).
One caveat, the 49ers are favored to win the NFC Championship Game against the Giants, meaning they technically are the favorites to come out of the NFC, but the fact that their odds to win the whole thing are the same is a testament to how the bookies feel about the Patriots winning the Super Bowl this season.
Lucky for the New England, David Tyree won't be around to spoil their Super Bowl dreams this season.
