As time expired in Super Bowl 46, and Eli Manning was named the Super Bowl MVP for the champion New York Giants, a ton of future bets came to fruition and all of those that had wagered on Manning, the Giants, and all of the successful prop bets around the game were ready to cash in. While those bets finally came to light, a whole new set of prop bets were established for next year, and already most of the sites on the sportsbook reviews are ready to release their 2013 future bets if they haven’t already. With the NFL draft right around the corner already and so much change that is sure to happen through free agency, it is hard to handicap next season so early on, but it is not impossible.

The New England Patriots should be an excellent choice as a possible AFC East champion future bet after everything that they accomplished this season. With the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins both showing nothing that would make them project to be a contender for next year, and the New York Jets really struggling toward the end of the year, the Patriots could be poised to take another step forward with four picks in the first two rounds of next year’s draft and some free agent spending money as well. New England came within inches of a Super Bowl win this year, and should be one of the better sports betting future options available. It will be difficult to break down the pay head odds for teams like the Indianapolis Colts or Arizona Cardinals with so much still left to play out for their respective offseasons, but in situations like New England where everything is point in a positive direction and they have already established themselves as contenders, it makes sense to take advantage of the early lines as it would take a lot to knock them out of their spot.
