2011 Super Bowl Odds: Final Record Predictions for All 32 Teams
The Super Bowl XLVI futures market has undergone some significant changes heading into Week 11 of the 2011 NFL season, including one team being removed from the wagering altogether.
Las Vegas sports books are also trying to increase activity in the market by offering proposition wagers on teams to actually make the playoffs.
Let's take a closer look at the betting odds for all 32 teams to make a run at the Lombardi Trophy and predict their final regular-season record.
Indianapolis Colts
1 of 32The Indianapolis Colts are dressing up their cheerleaders, but that's a topic to discuss in another article.
Week 11 of the season is the final bye week for NFL teams, which will allow Indianapolis an opportunity to reground after losing its first 10 games.
The pressure is seemingly off the Colts in the "Suck for Luck" sweepstakes, as the closest competitors have tallied two wins.
Final Record Prediction: 1-15
Super Bowl Odds: Not Available
Washington Redskins
2 of 32Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan has lost five consecutive games for the first time in his established career.
Definitely not a recipe to win the Super Bowl.
Final Record Prediction: 5-11
Super Bowl Odds: +100000
Cleveland Browns
3 of 32The Cleveland Browns haven't scored an offensive touchdown at home in over 123 minutes, something that doesn't translate into winning the Super Bowl.
Second-year quarterback Colt McCoy doesn't have the necessary weapons around him to make a run, playing without star running back Peyton Hillis (hamstring) for most of the year.
Final Record Prediction: 4-12
Super Bowl Odds: +100000
St. Louis Rams
4 of 32The St. Louis Rams have won two of three games, including a 13-12 win over the Cleveland Browns as 2.5-point road underdogs last week.
Second-year quarterback Sam Bradford is clearly looking ahead to the 2012 campaign, sitting six games back of the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC West division.
Final Record Prediction: 4-12
Super Bowl Odds: +75000
Seattle Seahawks
5 of 32The Seattle Seahawks are coming off an impressive 22-17 win over the Baltimore Ravens as seven-point home underdogs last week, a team that has much shorter odds in this article.
Second-year head coach Pete Carroll needs to talk with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell about potentially scheduling the Seahawks 16 home games next year.
Final Record Prediction: 6-10
Super Bowl Odds: +75000
Minnesota Vikings
6 of 32The Minnesota Vikings have now been swept by last year's Super Bowl champion, dropping a 45-7 contest to the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football.

Final Record Prediction: 4-12
Super Bowl Odds:+75000
Miami Dolphins
7 of 32The Miami Dolphins have won back-to-back games, nearly missing a third in dropping a 20-17 affair against the New York Giants on Oct. 30.
It's clear that the team is poised to play spoiler in the AFC East division down the stretch.
Final Record Prediction: 4-12
Super Bowl Odds: +75000
Carolina Panthers
8 of 32The Carolina Panthers have plenty to be excited about, ranking sixth in the league in averaging 399.7 yards per game offensively.
Rookie quarterback Cam Newton is just getting started.
Final Record Prediction: 5-11
Super Bowl Odds: +50000
Jacksonville Jaguars
9 of 32The Jacksonville Jaguars took care of business as three-point road favorites last week against the Indianapolis Colts, keeping them alive in the AFC South division.
Anything is possible when your defense ranks fourth in the league in giving up just 296.4 yards per game.

Final Record Prediction: 6-10
Super Bowl Odds: +30000
Arizona Cardinals
10 of 32The Arizona Cardinals paid quarterback Kevin Kolb way too much money.
Simple as that.
Final Record Prediction: 6-10
Super Bowl Odds: +30000
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
11 of 32The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have fallen flat in dropping consecutive games against the New Orleans Saints and Houston Texans, but those two opponents are among the NFL's best.
Quarterback Josh Freeman needs to stop throwing the ball to the other team.
Watch closely in 2012.
Final Record Prediction: 6-10
Super Bowl Odds: +25000
Kansas City Chiefs

Denver Broncos
13 of 32The Denver Broncos won last week's game against the Kansas City Chiefs with only two completed passes.
Quarterback Tim Tebow doesn't measure up to the signal-callers found in this article the rest of the way.
Final Record Prediction: 5-11
Super Bowl Odds: +20000
Tennessee Titans
14 of 32The Tennessee Titans are a dangerous team if running back Chris Johnson can get into Pro Bowl form, as he's gained 496 rushing yards through nine games this season.
Johnson's absence from preseason games and the season-ending injury to wide receiver Kenny Britt is just too much to overcome.
Final Record Prediction: 7-9
Super Bowl Odds: +8000
Buffalo Bills
15 of 32The Buffalo Bills are about to fall off the cliff and this week's road game against the Miami Dolphins is a must-win situation.
A loss in South Beach—the season is over.

Super Bowl Odds: +8000
Cincinnati Bengals
16 of 32The Cincinnati Bengals got a real taste of the AFC North division last week, dropping a 24-17 contest to the Pittsburgh Steelers as three-point home underdogs.
Another major test is ahead, traveling to take on the Baltimore Ravens.
Final Record Prediction: 8-8
Super Bowl Odds: +5500
Philadelphia Eagles
17 of 32The Philadelphia Eagles have more problems than quarterback Michael Vick's ribs, which has caused many early bettors to rip up their tickets purchased on them winning the Super Bowl during the preseason.
Final Record Prediction: 6-10
Super Bowl Odds: +5000
Oakland Raiders
18 of 32The Oakland Raiders made a major move in the AFC West division with last week's 24-17 dismantling of the San Diego Chargers.
Quarterback Carson Palmer will only get better, while depth at the position could be bolstered with the return of Jason Campbell on the sidelines down the road.
Final Record Prediction: 9-7
Super Bowl Odds: +4000
Detroit Lions
19 of 32Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford literally threw last week's game away against the Chicago Bears, something that he can't afford to do the rest of the season.
Two games against the Green Bay Packers loom large.
Final Record Prediction: 9-7
Super Bowl Odds: +4000
Atlanta Falcons
20 of 32The Atlanta Falcons were inches away from potentially handing the New Orleans Saints a loss last week. but will now need to bounce back quickly with a tough schedule remaining.
It's certainly a balanced squad, ranking 15th in points scored and allowed through nine games.
Final Record Prediction: 10-6
Super Bowl Odds: +4000
New York Giants
21 of 32The New York Giants control their destiny in the NFC East division, but will need to hold off the Dallas Cowboys.
Quarterback Eli Manning could potentially end up with more Super Bowl rings than his brother.
Amazing.
Final Record Prediction: 10-6
Super Bowl Odds: +3000
San Diego Chargers
22 of 32The San Diego Chargers have lost four consecutive games despite coming into Week 11's action with the seventh-best offense and 10th-best defense in terms of yardage.
It's a must-win event this Sunday in the Windy City against the Bears.
Final Record Prediction: 8-8
Super Bowl Odds: +2500
New York Jets
23 of 32The New York Jets have been swept by the New England Patriots in their AFC East rivalry, something that leads me to believe that it will be another year of Rex Ryan claiming a Super Bowl run in 2012.
Mark Sanchez's ability to lead this team past the AFC Championship is the real question surfacing on the streets of the Big Apple this week.
Final Record Prediction: 10-6
Super Bowl Odds: +2500
Dallas Cowboys
24 of 32The Dallas Cowboys have put together a nice two-game win streak, but bettors need to be cautious, especially considering the 34-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles three weeks ago.
With the league's fifth-best offense and ninth-best defense in terms of yardage, it's certainly possible for this squad to end up inside Lucas Oil Stadium in February.
The betting odds were nearly slashed in half after last week's blowout win over the Buffalo Bills.
Final Record Prediction: 10-6
Super Bowl Odds: +2100
Chicago Bears
25 of 32The Chicago Bears will likely be fighting for a Wild Card spot into this year's playoffs, as the Green Bay Packers continue to show no signs of letting up.
Ranking sixth in scoring 26.3 points per game is certainly a surprise, considering the offense ranks 17th in total yards.
Defense and special teams give this squad two added dimensions.
Quarterback Jay Cutler doesn't have the same type of weapons as Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers on the outside.
Final Record Prediction: 10-6
Super Bowl Odds: +2000
Houston Texans
26 of 32The Houston Texans season could be lost now that quarterback Matt Schaub has potentially suffered a season-ending foot injury.
It comes at a disappointing time heading into the bye week and leading the division, especially with the potential return of wide receiver Andre Johnson (hamstring) on the horizon.
Final Record Prediction: 10-6
Super Bowl Odds: +1700
Baltimore Ravens
27 of 32The Baltimore Ravens are the roller coaster of the National Football League, not knowing what you're going to get as a bettor on a weekly basis.
Ranking in the top 10 in scoring offense and defense makes anything possible.
Final Record Prediction: 11-5
Super Bowl Odds: +1500
San Francisco 49ers
28 of 32The San Francisco 49ers have nearly wrapped up the NFC West division and have beaten some very good teams along the way.
Ranking No. 1 in the league in rushing defense is an important category come playoff time.
Final Record Prediction: 12-4
Super Bowl Odds: +1100
Pittsburgh Steelers
29 of 32The Pittsburgh Steelers are always going to be in the Super Bowl discussion as long as No. 7 is in the offensive huddle, as he's won two rings already.
It will be interesting to see how a fractured right thumb affects Ben Roethlisberger the rest of the season.
Final Record Prediction: 11-5
Super Bowl Odds: +1100
New Orleans Saints
30 of 32New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees looms as the major threat in the NFC to challenge the Green Bay Packers.
The offense ranks first in the league in averaging 436.9 yards per game, while the defense is serviceable enough to get the job done.
A challenging schedule remains.
Final Record Prediction: 11-5
Super Bowl Odds: +1000
New England Patriots
31 of 32The New England Patriots are in the driver's seat to win the AFC East division, holding onto a one-game lead over the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets.
Quarterback Tom Brady will need to continue racking up the yards offensively through the air, as the running game is unreliable and the defense is allowing the most yards in the league.
Final Record Prediction: 11-5
Super Bowl Odds: +650
Green Bay Packers
32 of 32Sports bettors will get a significantly better price in wagering on the Green Bay Packers to win all 16 regular-season games and the Super Bowl (+850).
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is just playing at a different level than everyone else.
As long as the San Francisco 49ers keep winning, the Packers will remain motivated.

Super Bowl Odds: +300
