There are only four NFL teams left fighting for the ultimate prize in sports - the Superbowl. Now is an excellent time in terms of value to place a bet on the team you think can win it all. But what Superbowl odds are the various online sportsbooks offering? We break it down for you:

According to BetCRIS, the sportsbook that sets the line that all other books follow, the futures betting market for the Superbowl has the Broncos listed as favorites at +160. The Steelers are next at +285. The Seahawks are big value at +300, and the Panthers are the biggest price of all at +385.

The betting shows that the sportsbooks agree on one thing - the AFC is far stronger than the NFC. This has held true in recent years, especially in cross-conference games during the regular season. The NFC have won only 2 of the last 8 Superbowl confrontations. The Ravens, Broncos (two wins) and the Patriots (3 wins) have ensured that the AFC is the dominant conference.

This year, however, the gap seems to have narrowed between the two conferences. We would not be surprised to see either the Seahawks or Panthers win it all, and they represent good betting value at the current superbowl odds.
