Super Bowl 2012: Power Ranking Odds on Every Team Left
If I had to put money on it, I would bet that the New England Patriots would win the Super Bowl.
That's if I had to put money on it—which I don't—but even so I wouldn't feel that comfortable betting a lot on that.
Right now it's anybody's game to win, but of course there are two pesky little games left to play.

Projecting Every NFL Team's Starting Lineup 🔮

Rookie WRs Who Will Outplay Their Draft Value 📈
Before we determine who will win the Super Bowl, we have to know who will be in the Super Bowl— which again is anybody's guess because all of these teams have a chance.
To clear things up though, and perhaps give you a little bit of perspective, here's a look at the odds that I would give for each team to win it all:
Note: These are not official odds.
New England Patriots: 5/4
If there is a team that could do it all and win the Super Bowl, it would be Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. They've done it before and have arguably the best coach/quarterback combination in the league in Brady and Bill Belichick.
Experience aside, this is a very talented team. Brady is a consummate winner, and he's got the best tight end in the league to throw to in Rob Gronkowski and one of the better slot receivers in Wes Welker.
The defense gets a lot of flack, but they aren't half-bad situationally. Plus, Brady's playoff experience all but nullifies any of their weaknesses.
New York Giants: 11/8
The Giants are the other team in this race with Super Bowl experience, but unlike the Patriots, they have a very good defense to fall back on. Eli Manning is as hot as they come right now as far as quarterbacks, and the defensive line led by Justin Tuck, Jason Pierre-Paul and Osi Umenyiora is extremely dangerous.
Not only that, but wide receiver Hakeem Nicks has been on fire this postseason, with four touchdowns in two postseason games, and second option Victor Cruz is a borderline star.
This is a team that has what it takes to make a serious run.
San Francisco 49ers: 9/2
The one weak spot on this team is quarterback Alex Smith and a sometimes shaky offense, but other than that the 49ers are incredibly dangerous.
They boast the league's best defense and a running attack anchored by Frank Gore that was one of the best in the league.
Where San Francisco really lacks is in experience, and nobody really knows which Alex Smith will show up.
This team is good enough to ride their defense all the way to the Lombardi Trophy though, so don't count them out.
Baltimore Ravens: 7/1
The Ravens have a ton of experience and are extremely good on defense and like the 49ers, they also have a great running game, bolstered by Ray Rice, and a questionable quarterback in Joe Flacco.
There is no doubting that the Ravens defense can get the job done, but the question with them will be on offense.
If a team can shut down their running game they can become rather one-dimensional, and trusting Joe Flacco to come up big and play a Super Bowl-caliber game may be too much.
With a team that has their drive and leadership though, anything is possible.
