2012 NFL Futures Betting
* Content below was for 2011 – 2012 NFL futures bets. We’ll be adding our predictions for the 2012 – 2013 Super Bowl winner soon after the 2012 NFL draft.
At the time this is being written, the Packers & Patriots are fairly heavy favorites to meet in the Super Bowl. Considering that both teams give up a ton of yards, it’ll be interesting to see if they both make it. If any of their competitors defenses can step it up, we could easily lose one or both of these teams. If they do meet in the Super Bowl, we might see the highest over/under in Super Bowl history.

Many handicappers like to pick 2-3 teams per season, depending on the odds they’re getting on the teams they’re choosing. If you’re picking a favorite at +700, and one or two teams in the +1000 to +2000 odds range, you can make a profit if any of those teams win, and a nice profit if either of the longer odds teams win.
Serious bettors who have a set bankroll should keep their NFL futures bets down to 1% of their bankroll. So, if you have a bankroll of $2000, you shouldn’t bet more than $20. This is because your money will be tied up for a ling time, until the Super Bowl is complete. Your money is more useful spent on game you can collect on today.
If you’re a casual punter looking to bet on your favorite team and have some fun, then just be sure to keep your NFL futures bets within a range that you can easily afford to lose.
2012 Super Bowl 46 Betting Tips
First off, I don’t see any team listed below the Buccaneers that have a legitimate chance of winning Super Bowl 46. Above that, the Packers look like a great pick, even at +700. The Patriots and Steelers have to be on every short-list as well, but I don’t like +600 on the Pat’s. At +1500 on the Steelers, I don’t see how we can go wrong on that one.
The Baltimore Ravens defense always gives them a chance. Flacco enters the season at 26 years old, hitting his prime. At +1600 (16/1), a good risk, and it might be the best odds we’ll get on them.
Favorite Longshot
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Need to fill in a few pieces, but there’s time for that to happen. Josh Freeman took a big step up in 2010/2011 and I expect that trend to continue in 2011/2012. How far can they go this year? That remains to be seen, but if they can fill in a couple of important holes, they could do a lot better than most people expect.
Definitely a team on the rise, I love getting +3500 on them. They might be a couple years out, but at +3500 they’re worth a small bet imo. I don’t see the odds getting any better on the Buc’s, I’ve already placed my bet at +3500 at Bovada.
Bets I Don’t Like
New York Jets: At +1200 (12/1) I don’t like this bet. Sanchez is maturing, and the team is better than last year. The only problem is that the Jets will likely have to do it from the Wild Card, because the Patriots look to take the AFC East. Since we can get +1500 on the Steelers and +1600 on the Ravens, +1200 on the Jets doesn’t look good to me.
San Diego Chargers: At +1100, I don’t see how we can take them. If I knew they’d go 3-2 or better heading into week 6, then maybe I could justify them +1200 to +1500. However, we can never rely on this team early in the season, putting the pressure on themselves during the second half of the season.
