Indianapolis Colts: Betting odds and lines

What are the odds on the Indianapolis Colts for another Super Bowl and more.

Indianapolis Colts: Betting odds and lines Last season the Indianapolis Colts were a great team and the Super Bowl rings are enough to prove it. But after a football season like that, the expectations to match it in the upcoming are great, and anything less than another final would be considered a loss by the hard core Colts fans.

But the team looks as strong as before, the offense is back with Peyton Manning backed up by his two biggest weapons Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison. The often injured receiver Brandon Stokely went to Denver and will be replaced by the draft pick Anthony Gonzales, giving the Indianapolis Colts three great receivers entering the NFL season.

The defense was the weaker link in 2006 and emergency improvements are needed by coach Tony Dungy, after the linebacker Cato June and both starting corners, Nick Harper and Jason David, are now gone. The Indianapolis Colts lost their preseason opener 23-10 against the Dallas Cowboys, but no one looked worried. Trent Shelton caught a short 3-yard pass for a TD late in the game for the Colts, while Peyton Manning took just a few snaps in the loss.

The Colts enter the 07-08 NFL season again with a champion material and the betting odds clearly resonate this. The team is favorite to win the AFC but it would require hard work thereafter. Here are the betting odds on the Indianapolis Colts, as published by the online website Bookmaker (new window) :
