The NFL will wrap-up its four-game preseason schedule this Thursday night to set the stage for the start of the regular season next week. This gives us one last chance to try and cash-in on the numerous NFL futures odds and prop bet odds that VietBet has posted and consistently updated over the course of the past few weeks.

Turning to the futures odds to win a conference championship, VietBet had listed Denver as a +225 favorite to once again win the AFC title before the start of the preseason. Three weeks later the NFL 2014 Conference Futures Odds have slightly improved to +220 after the Broncos posted back-to-back victories over Seattle and San Francisco both straight-up and against the spread before squeaking past Houston 18-17 this past Saturday as seven-point home favorites on VietBet's closing line in their three games.

The Seahawks were listed as +310 favorites to win the NFC before the start of the preseason and that number has slipped slightly to +330. Both Denver and Seattle remain solid favorites to stage a rematch in Super Bowl XLIX, but I am not sold on either one. Not because of what I saw in the preseason, but because of the simple fact that it is extremely hard for both the winner and the loser of a Super Bowl to get back to that game the following year.
The New England Patriots are now +320 second-favorites to win the AFC after VietBet had the betting odds posted at +330 before the preseason began. Despite the small drop in value, this team is still my best bet to win this conference on the premise that it is due. The Patriots have gone to five Super Bowls in the last 13 seasons and they have lost the last two AFC Championship Games....like I said, they are due.

The natives are getting a bit restless in San Francisco after a less than stellar preseason and so is the betting public after driving the 49ers' odds up to +425 from +400 to win the NFC this year. The Niners did redeem themselves by beating San Diego 21-7 in Week 3 as five-point home favorites, but it is hard to ignore the first two losses to Baltimore and Denver by a combined score of 57-3.

Before the preseason began, I went with New Orleans at +850 as my pick to win the NFC and I am glad I did since VietBet's current odds for the Saints are listed at +750. This another team that has a head coach that knows how to get a team to the Super Bowl so I see some tremendous value in VietBet's +3300 futures odds for a Patriots vs. Saints matchup in Super Bowl XLIX.
