2009 Super Bowl Odds & Facts

Unlike last season, there is no dominant team in Super Bowl betting. In fact, two six seeds (Philadelphia and Baltimore) made it to the Championship games.

Super Bowl odds show that if Arizona makes the big game they would have the most losses ever by a Super Bowl champ. Philadelphia would be tied for the most losses if they make the big game as Super Bowl odds history shows. The previous record holder for that honor is the Los Angeles Rams who finished the regular season 9-7 but lost Super Bowl XIV.

Super Bowl betting history shows that three of the four remaining starting quarterbacks, Donovan McNabb, Ben Roethlisberger and Kurt Warner have played in the Super Bowl before. Three former MVP’s are alive heading into the NFC and AFC Championship game as accounts of previous Super Bowl odds tell us. Ray Lewis won the award in 2000, Hines Ward in 2005 and Warner in 1999.

Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco has already made history as he is the first rookie quarterback to win his first two playoff games. Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh is the fifth rookie head coach to do that as Super Bowl odds facts tell us.

Before the season began none of the four remaining teams were considered favorites in Super Bowl odds. Pittsburgh could have been bet at Super Bowl odds of about 20-1 before the season began. Philadelphia had Super Bowl odds in the range of 30-1 while Arizona and Baltimore had Super Bowl odds that were greater than 50-1.

Super Bowl odds entering the championship games had the Pittsburgh Steelers as the Super Bowl betting favorite followed by the Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Ravens and Arizona Cardinals. Based on the Super Bowl betting odds the most likely matchup was an all Pennsylvania matchup between the Steelers and the Eagles. Those two quarterbacks, McNabb and Roethlisberger have the lowest Super Bowl odds to win the MVP award for the big game.
