Super Bowl betting often comes down to which team has the better or more effective quarterback when judging the final results of a game with the NFL odds.

Super Bowl betting saw right from the beginning that a near perfect quarterback such as Bart Starr of the Green Bay Packers could make all of the difference with the NFL odds.  Starr’s near flawless performance in the first two Super Bowls set the standard for quarterbacks to this very day.

In recent years Tom Brady of the New England Patriots, Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Eli Manning of the New York Giants, Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts, Kurt Warner of the Arizona Cardinals and St. Louis Rams, and John Elway of the Denver Broncos have all made the ultimate difference in beating the NFL odds.

Super Bowl lines for the futures odds did not have the Indianapolis Colts listed as one of the top sports betting favorites for the 2009 season as they looked to be a team in transition.

Super Bowl lines bettors figured that long time head coach Tony Dungy “must have known something” when he finally decided to retire after the 2008 season.  Jim Caldwell, Dungy’s long time assistant head coach, took over a team that was considered past its sports betting prime and getting old.

Instead of trying to re-invent the wheel, however, Caldwell kept Dungy’s system in place and simply made the necessary adjustments within that system to lead the Colts to a super sports betting season in which they went 14-2 straight up and a most profitable 10-5-1 against the spread.
