NFL Playoff Odds

I looked at the NFL future odds at pinnacle today and compared them to some handicapped values. These odds are to win the conference or superbowl. I'll first list pinnacle's odds and then compare them to a set of handicapped numbers. I will add a second set of handicapped numbers to this post in the future.

Team Conference Superbowl



NE -189 -119
Ind +350 +529
SD +1654
+2603
Pit +4067
+6567
Jax +2603
+3900
Ten +16567
+49900



Dal -137
+646
GB +312
+1941
Sea +1199
+6567
TB +2226
+14186
NYG +2678
+14354
Was +4248
+24900

If you go by these numbers you can see some value on Dallas and Indy to win the Superbowl. The biggest difference between the two sets are teams like Tennessee and Washington to win their respective conference or the superbowl. The odds are way in favor of the sportsbook on the lower seeds. If you want to bet these teams to win the superbowl you would be better off betting the individual moneylines for each game. You will get much better odds that way.
