聚焦拉斯维加斯超级碗决赛赔率

　　季前赛的第三周是NFL球队经历长时间的挑选后确定最终首发名单的时间，当周一这一周结束时，球队基本上就确定了哪些球员会出现在赛季第一场比赛的赛场上，一些球员会因为受伤而被替换。

　　进入最终53人名单的所有因素不仅仅在于球队的选择，同时拉斯维加斯体彩确定的超级碗季前赛决赛赔率也左右着最终的名单。

　　在季前赛表现突出并被认为最有可能赢得超级碗的两个球队是新英格兰爱国者和绿湾包装工队，这两个球队在季前赛都没有出现主要队员受伤的情况，以压倒性的优势成为2012-13赛季的吸筹幸运星。

　　新英格兰爱国者将以11/2的赔率高居榜首，爱国者队看起来在每一个赛季都是超级碗的最爱，汤姆。布雷迪一直是焦点所在，今年，爱国者引进了顶尖的边侧接应队员布兰登。劳埃德，这在布雷迪时期是很少见的。

　　绿湾包装工队的赔率是6/1，是庄家们的第二选择，上一个赛季绿湾队就被认为是超级碗的幸运儿，但是球员受伤和缺乏稳定性导致绿湾队没能顺利的走下去。亚伦。罗杰斯被很多评论家认为是赛事中顶尖的四分卫。

　　去年赢得NFC冠军的旧金山队，以9/1的赔率成为第三选择。去年的流行选择费城队与所有的自由球员签约，再一次以11/1的赔率成为体彩的一个热门选择。

　　接下来是来自AFC的两个球队：在去年的季后赛首次登榜的休斯顿赔率为12/1，而老牌劲旅匹兹堡钢人队的赔率为15/1。钢人队寄希望于一个健康的本。罗斯利斯伯格能够是匹兹堡中在接下来的赛季中重振雄风。

　　而卫冕冠军纽约巨人队则没有得到庄家们的更多青睐，纽约队仅以22/1的赔率排在第12位，巨人队的赔率还比不上比同赛区另外两个竞争对手，赔率为20/1的老鹰队和达拉斯小牛队，巨人队和小牛队将于9月5日周三在纽约的新赛季首场比赛中交手。

　　Las Vegas Zeroes In On Final Super Bowl Betting Odds

　　The third week of the preseason is the time when NFL teams play their starters for the longest period of time. As the week comes to an end Monday, the teams generally know who will be playing come opening day, and which players will have had their seasons altered by injury.

　　All of the factors that go into the final 53-man roster are taken into account not only by the teams, but also Las Vegas sports books as they prepare to offer their final preseason Super Bowl betting odds.

　　The two teams that have been favored to reach and win the Super Bowl for the entire off season have been the New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers. The teams both escaped the preseason without a major injury, and will enter the 2012-13 season as overwhelming betting favorite.

　　New England will be on top, with odds of 11/2. The Patriots have seemingly been Super Bowl favorites in every season that Tom Brady has been under center. This year, New England brought in Brandon Lloyd, a top wide receiver weapon that the Patriots rarely have had in Brady's tenure.

　　The Packers are the second choice of odds makers, with 6/1 odds. Green Bay was considered a favorite last season to repeat as Super Bowl champs, but injuries and a lack of consistency hurt the Packers down the stretch. Aaron Rodgers is considered by many analysts to be the top quarterback in the game.

　　San Francisco, a team that reached the NFC championship game last year, is the third choice at 9/1. Philadelphia, a popular choice last year with all of their free agent signings, is again a top choice of sports books, coming in at 11/1.

　　A pair of AFC teams come in next. Houston, who got their first taste of the postseason last year, is a 12/1 choice, while perennial power Pittsburgh is at 15/1. The Steelers are hoping that a healthy Ben Roethlisberger can be the difference in Pittsburgh returning to the game they have won more than any other franchise.

　　The defending champion Giants are not receiving much love from the odds makers. New York is only the 12th choice, with odds of 22/1. The Giants have longer odds than two division rivals, the Eagles, and the Dallas Cowboys, who have odds of 20/1. The Giants and Cowboys meet to open the new season on Wednesday, September 5th in New York.
