NFC Conference: Long Shot Super Bowl 45 Teams

Best Long Shot Bet: Chicago Bears +1200

Da Bears played their butts off trying to keep rival Green Bay out of the playoffs in Week 17 but it just didn’t work out for them. What they showed, however, was incredible heart and guts. I have no idea why the Bears aren’t the second favorite in the NFC, after #1 seeded Atlanta, to win the Super Bowl. Getting 12/1 long shot odds to win Super Bowl 45 on a team that won 7 out of their last 9 games is awesome. Yes, the Bears have issues along their offensive line. Yes, the Bears can implode like when they did when losing to New England 7 to 36, but they also have the 9th ranked defense in the NFL overall and the 2nd ranked D in the league versus the run. They’re worth a look.

Second Best Long Shot Bet: Green Bay Packers +1200

A month ago, when everybody was ga-ga over Philly QB Michael Vick, some even (hilariously!) saying that Vick deserved the league MVP, nobody was predicting that the Packers could beat the Eagles in a playoff game. Not now. Green Bay goes to Philadelphia this weekend as the #6 seed in the playoffs. They’re also only a 2 ½ point dog meaning that odds makers believe that many football handicappers will back GB on Sunday. I’m one of those football handicappers. Green Bay isn’t just a good bet to beat Philly on Sunday, but they’re a dynamite bet to win the whole enchilada at +1200 long shot odds to win Super Bowl 45. They beat the Eagles 27 to 20 this season. They should have beaten Atlanta, their likely second round opponent after they beat the Eagles this Sunday, on Nov. 28th in a 17 to 20 loss. They can handle the Saints or Bears and they almost upset the New England Patriots straight up as 14 point dogs, with QB Matt Flynn under center and not Aaron Rodgers, in 27 to 31 loss on Dec. 19th.

Stay Away From: Seattle Seahawks +8000

You have to love the long shot football betting odds to win Super Bowl 45 on Seattle, +8000, right? Actually, no. The ‘Hawks take on New Orleans this Saturday as 10 ½ point dogs. The Saints thumped them 34 to 19 in mid-November. Let’s say they get past the champs. Then, they face either #1 seeded Atlanta, a team that beat them 34 to 18 on Dec. 19th or the Chicago Bears. Sure, they beat the Bears this season, but the ‘Hawks victory over Chicago occurred way back in October and Da Bears are a much better team now than they were then. When the Arizona Cardinals made their Super Bowl run, they had a guy named Kurt Warner playing QB for them.

Who will Seattle have under center? Charlie Whitehurst or Matt Hasselbeck. The Seahawks have no shot to win Super Bowl 45.
