One would think that a New York Giants victory over the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl wouldn’t be as much of a shock the second time around, but just ask any of the countless fans and bettors who had shown their faith and support for the Pats over the past few weeks and you’ll hear the truth.

Worse yet, ask Tom Brady.

In what was but “wasn’t” a rematch of the 2008 title game that saw the Giants play spoilers to New England’s then-undefeated season, the two teams took the field in Indianapolis Sunday looking to set the record straight. Was Super Bowl XLII a fluke? Could Eli Manning rally his troops to genuinely contend at Super Bowl XLVI?

It didn’t take long into the game for the Giants to hop back in the driver’s seat, a seat they’d grown familiar with over the years. Even during their regular season clash this year, it was New York who walked away victorious. With all things considered it shouldn’t come as a surprise that they made off with the championship, yet somehow it is.

Looking forward, the NFL betting line for the 2013 championship has the Patriots out on top. With 7/1 odds of winning the Super Bowl they place second behind only Green Bay. The Giants, of course, as they’ve grown used to, are further down with 15/1 odds.

A neck and neck race for the Southeast Division lead will heat up on Tuesday as the upstart Florida Panthers hope to defend a narrow lead over a Washington Capitals team slowly reestablishing itself as a force on the NHL betting line.

Can the Panthers hang on to their spot among the Eastern Conference’s playoff pack? As things stand right now, the winner of the division will lay claim to the No. 3 seed in the bracket. Nobody else, however, is on pace to qualify for the top eight.

The depth of the rest of the conference makes the early week bout between two division rivals in the Southeast all the more important. Although the Panthers remain on the NHL futures list with 30/1 odds of winning the Stanley Cup, they’ll have their work cut out for them against the Capitals whose reputation as a legitimate contender overshadows any recent misfortune.

With 18/1 odds on the NHL betting line, the Capitals are a threat in the eyes of hockey odds makers. So long as Alex Ovechkin is healthy and in uniform, there’s no real surprise why.

If the Panthers are to cling desperately to their first playoff berth since 2000, they’ll need to come up big against their rivals because things stand, anything less than a division championship might not be enough.

“With Peyton Manning’s situation it has made setting next year’s Super Bowl Odds very difficult and a reason you will see teams like Arizona and Miami at lower odds than what they would be in case Manning signs there.  As for the Colts, even though there is a slim chance he stays they are at 50-1 but if he does leave will shoot up to around 100-1 and if stays would drop down to around 15-1, just goes to show the importance of a guy like Peyton.”
