Excerpt: "The Patriots are not only favored to win this year's Super Bowl, they're favored to win next year's, too.
The LVH SuperBook opened New England at 6-to-1 (http://linemakers.sportingnews.com/nfl/2013-01-14/Super-bowl-odds-2013-2014-xlviii-48-patriots-49ers-giants-broncos-packers) to win Super Bowl (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/superbowl) XLVIII at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., on Feb. 2, 2014, ahead of the Broncos and 49ers at 8-to-1.And it's not just because the Bill Belichick-Tom Brady (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/playerpage/187741/tom-brady) combo shows no signs of slippage. The Pats, even money to win this year's big game, are the definition of a “public” team in Vegas. People love to bet on them, no matter the line. Whether or not they beat the Ravens (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/gametracker/preview/NFL_20130120_BAL@NE) to advance to this year's Super Bowl, the Patriots will draw heavy action in next year's Super Bowl (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/superbowl) futures.New England hasn't won a Super Bowl (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/superbowl) since 2005. The Pats came agonizingly close in 2008 and 2012, l (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/gametracker/recap/NFL_20120205_NYG@NE)osing to the Giants each time (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/gametracker/recap/NFL_20120205_NYG@NE).
Seven of eight teams in last week's divisional playoffs head the 2014 Super Bowl (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/superbowl) odds. But the Ravens, at 20-to-1, have longer odds than non-playoff teams like the Steelers and Saints at 15-to-1.
Next year's game will be the first cold-weather Super Bowl (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/superbowl). LVH pegged the Giants at 20-to-1 and the Jets at 50-to-1 to win it in their home stadium.
Vegas gives the Raiders and Jaguars the worst chance of winning next year's Super Bowl (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/superbowl). Each opened at 150-to-1.The Colts look like a value pick at 40-to-1.Odds to win 2014 Super Bowl:
Patriots (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/page/NE/new-england-patriots) 6-1
49ers (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/page/SF/san-francisco-49ers) 8-1
