Super Bowl XLVI Odds: Patriots the Favorite to Win It on Fev 5th

The Baltimore Ravens beat the +7 NFL odds, unfortunately their shot at Super Bowl XLVI went wide left.

With 11 seconds remaining the Ravens set themselves up for overtime with kicker Billy Cundiff ready to kick a 32-yard, game-tying field goal. Unfortunately, Cundiff went Ray Finkle and shanked the field goal wide left, propelling the New England Patriots to the Super Bowl with a 23-20 win.

The fault shouldn't completely go to Cundiff. The Ravens had a chance to win it all when Cundiff three a perfect pass to Lee Evans in the corner of the endzone. Evans caught the ball, but didn’t secure it, giving Patriots corner Sterling Moore the opportunity to tap it out incomplete.

Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco had a rebound performance after being called out last week, finishing with 306 passing yards two touchdowns and one interception. Tom Brady had an ugly game, throwing two picks with just 239 yards.

Betting Analysis: It will be interesting to see what angle oddsmakers take once the NFC half of the Super Bowl is decided.

Brady and the Patriots looked very human on Sunday, especially versus the Ravens’ pass rush. With two impressive defenses in San Francisco and New York on the horizon, there’s a chance Brady could struggle again on Feb. 5.

Look for the Super Bowl odds to be a little closer than expected, with the Patriots to likely favorite.
