Ravens Longshot To Win Super Bowl

by Bruce Raffel on Jan 17, 2012 8:00 PM EST

The Baltimore Ravens might be one of the four remaining teams in the running for the Super Bowl, facing the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon for the right to advance. However, according to the wagering oddsmakers, the Ravens are the longshots of the four teams in the two conference championship games this weekend.

According to the betting site, Bovada, the Ravens are 6-1 odds to win the Super Bowl and the least favorite match-up for either of the two NFC teams that they could face if they beat the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game in Foxboro, Massachusetts.

I think the Giants are at the top of their game. They have peaked on both sides of the ball.

Does that mean 5 out of 6 times the Patriots will win the Superbowl?

Pretty sure it means for every 6 dollars bet 5 will be made in addition to the capital.

I think it's the other way around.

If it’s like horse racing, you would win 6 dollars for every 5 dollar bet.

Michael Oher is so fast off the ball that he only appears to be off-sides.

Thank you!

Could this have played out any better? No one is giving the Ravens a chance! Media is already overloading the hype of Patriots in the Superbowl. Ravens thrive in the role of the ‘dog’, Something tells me we’re gonna sneak past the Pats, face the Giants in the superbowl, WIN, and then open the new season vs the NFC East and a superbowl rematch at home vs the G-Men.

How sick would that be!!!

kind of stress free being such an underdog isn’t it…i think we have squeezed every ounce out of what this team could do with so many new parts, injuries, and cam. are we capable of a whole lot more? yep. will we get there witht the current set up -no. BUT, by shear talent, we might pull it off.
