The defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants starts this NFL betting season with one of the worst futures odds of any defending Super Bowl champion since at least 2000. 
The New York Giants are currently +1800 at BetOnline sportsbook, for the futuer odds to win the SuperBowl XLVII.
The Giants have nearly 100 sacks over the past two seasons, with stars Jason Pierre Paul and Justin Tuck (when healthy) anchoring what’s arguably the NFL’s best defensive line. Pierre-Paul is the most athletic lineman in the league, able to rush the quarterback, tackle, bat down passes and force fumbles.
Tuck, meanwhile, has vowed to be in the best shape of his life to start 2012, in an effort to prevent a second straight injury marred campaign in which he saw limited snaps. Then there’s Osi Umenyiora, who is usually good for about 10 sacks despite the fact that he’s on the sidelines for many running downs. The secondary will get a boost from the return of cornerback Terrell Thomas, whose 21 passes defense in 2010 ranked third in the NFL. Antrel Rolle played safety and some slot corner last year, but the return of Thomas, who tore his ACL last August, should allow Rolle to play more exclusively at his natural safety position in 2012.
