2009 Super Bowl Odds: AFC Contenders Defense-Minded

While the identities of the NFC 2009 Super Bowl odds contenders are a rather diverse mix, there is one single defining characteristic for the AFC Super Bowl odds contenders: DEFENSE! The top teams in the AFC this season are not only defensive minded but the top 2009 Super Bowl odds contenders from this conference are some of the best defenses Super Bowl odds experts have seen in generations.

2009 Super Bowl odds are topped by a few teams, among them the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee rattled off 11 wins in a row to start the season and locked up a playoff berth and shot at the 2009 Super Bowl odds by Halloween it seemed. The team has a talented running game, but its success begins and ends with its defense, as does its 2009 Super Bowl odds hopes. A punishing D-line led by Pro-Bowlers Albert Haynesworth and Kyle Vanden Bosch, it’s all but impossible to run on this unit and that’s why it looks like such a tough 2009 Super Bowl odds opponent.

The Baltimore Ravens have also been given a rebirth this season and are still nurturing Super Bowl odds hopes. The team’s rookie QB Joe Flacco has been a revelation, but surprise, surprise! It’s been the defense that has kept this team in the 2009 Super Bowl odds hunt. This team seems to have an outstanding defense every season, but this year could very well be the best ever, even better than the Super Bowl odds winning unit several years ago.

But when you’re talking AFC defenses and 2009 Super Bowl odds you have to mention the Pittsburgh Steelers. What this unit is doing this season is nothing short of historic and has positioned this team well to capture a spot in the 2009 Super Bowl odds. With two weeks left in the regular season and the 2009 Super Bowl odds fast approaching, the Steelers lead the league in every major defensive statistic. The last team to do such a thing was the ’91 Eagles. And what’s more impressive is that the Steelers are putting up these ridiculous stats against the best teams (almost all of them 2009 Super Bowl odds contenders) week in and week out. The Steelers regular season schedule is the most difficult ever compiled and there’s little doubt that this team will be well-prepared for the 2009 Super Bowl odds competition, should it reach that lofty stage.
