The New England Patriots proved they are still the team to beat this year with a comeback victory over the Indianapolis Colts this past weekend, says Jay Kornegay, executive director or the Las Vegas Hilton SuperBook. Even though the Colts battled toe to toe with New England, it was Tom Brady who made the plays at the end to overcome a ten-point fourth-quarter deficit. With that said, the Las Vegas Hilton SuperBook has the Patriots at -300 to hoist the trophy next February. According to Kornegay, a team has never been this low to win it all after week number nine. Some of the other contenders include; Indianapolis 5-1, Dallas 8-1, Green Bay 15-1, and Pittsburgh at 20-1. All the current odds are available at the Las Vegas Hilton SuperBook.
