Saints 9/1 to defend their Super Bowl title
Following the New Orleans Saints 31-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts to claim Super Bowl XLIV, Sky Bet are offering 9/1 for the Saints to successfully defend their title. The Colts, who went into this year's Super Bowl with high expectations, are 8/1 to go one better next year with the San Diego Chargers 10/1 and New England Patriots 12/1.
Can the Saints defend their Super Bowl title?
Wembley bound San Francisco 49ers are 40/1 to grab their first Super Bowl in 16 years and their opponents at Wembley, the Denver Broncos, who started this season strongly, but blew a 6-0 winning start to the season and missed the playoffs, are 50/1.
Sky Bet's NFL spokesman Ben Wright said: "Looking at next year's potential winners, Indianapolis and New Orleans look the teams to beat once again. A team we are keen to oppose is the New England Patriots, whose years of dominating the league seem to be over. The NY Jets and Miami have reduced the gap in quality in their division, so the Patriots face a battle to even reach the playoffs."
