Dallas Cowboys have toughest road to 2011 Super Bowl

It might be 2010 Super Bowl week in Miami, but many Dallas fans have their sights set on the 2011 Super Bowl at Cowboys Stadium.

But if the hometown Cowboys are going to go to the big game in their own city, they'll face the toughest road in the conference to get there.Here are the 2010 superbowl odds.

Dallas faces both Super Bowl teams – Indianapolis and New Orleans. And only three games on the schedule (Detroit and Washington twice) come against teams with a 6-10 or worse record in 2009. Overall, the Cowboys' opponents have a .543 winning percentage (139-117). Take out Detroit and Washington and that number jumps to .620 (129-79). Ouch.

Only two AFC teams – the Texans and Titans – have tougher schedules based on opponents' winning percentage in 2009 – partly because they have to play the Cowboys.

Another bad sign: No host city team has ever made it to the Super Bowl. That means if the Cowboys can clinch the NFC's best record next season, they can be the only team to ever claim they have a true homefield advantage throughout the playoffs.

The superbowl betting schedule with dates and probable times is usually released in April before the draft.

For now, here are the Cowboys' 2010 season opponents (2009 record in parentheses).
Home games

New Orleans Saints (13-3): Super Bowl Saints will seek revenge for loss at Superdome to Cowboys.

Chicago Bears (7-9): Brian Urlacher will return after being injured for most of the season, and Jay Cutler (we think) will throw fewer interceptions.

Detroit Lions (2-14): Don't laugh. Last time Lions came to Dallas (final game of 2006 season) they won.

Jacksonville Jaguars (7-9): Usually a tough defensive team; made a poor switch to a 3-4 defense and couldn't pressure the QB. Will move back to 4-3 for 2010.

Tennessee Titans (8-8): Scarier than their record might indicate. After an 0-6 start, Longhorns alumnus Vince Young took over and led a five-game winning streak and an 8-2 finish.

Washington Redskins (4-12): Mike Shanahan takes over and is bringing back Jason Campbell because he has no other option.

N.Y. Giants (8-8): New defensive coordinator Perry Fewell charged with restoring pride to disgraced defense. The Giants gave up 427 points last season, their most since 1966.

Philadelphia Eagles (11-5): Coach Andy Reid claims Donovan McNabb is his starter, but do we really believe him with Kevin Kolb wanting his chance?
Road games

Green Bay Packers (11-5): Cowboys go back to Lambeau for second straight year (they lost 17-7 in 2009).

Minnesota Vikings (12-4): Brett Favre retired (yeah, right), and if it's really true, the Vikes have no other options other than Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson

Arizona Cardinals (10-6): Kurt Warner retires (more confident) and new QB Matt Leinart hasn't looked great yet.

Houston Texans (9-7): No longer a laughingstock. Matt Schaub is the real deal.

Indianapolis Colts (14-2): Easily the toughest game on the schedule.

Washington Redskins (4-12): New defensive coordinator Jim Haslett might switch to a 3-4 defense to be more like Dallas.

N.Y. Giants (8-8): Though Eli Manning is getting better, they need to re-establish rushing game that led team to Super Bowl.

Philadelphia Eagles (11-5): Can Eagles recover from three losses to the Cowboys?

Hurry Up!! Only 3,000 tickets left for Pro Bowl at Miami Dolphins' home field

With only about 3,000 tickets remaining, the NFL expressed confidence Thursday that the Jan. 31 Pro Bowl at Sun Life Stadium will be a sellout.

League spokesman Greg Aiello said via Twitter that the anticipated crowd of about 68,000 at the Dolphins' stadium would be the largest at a Pro Bowl since the 1959 game drew 72,250 in Los Angeles.

League officials had quietly expressed concerns about attendance, with both the date and the venue being changed from past years. Since 1980, the game had been held in Honolulu a week after the Super Bowl.

This year's game will be staged in what had been the so-called dead week between the conference title games and the Feb. 7 Super Bowl.

The Pro Bowl and Super Bowl will be the first events at the newly renamed Sun Life Stadium.

As usual, the Pro Bowl rosters have been in flux. AFC quarterbacks Tom Brady of New England and Philip Rivers of San Diego withdrew Wednesday, with Houston's Matt Schaub and Tennessee's Vince Young named as replacements.

None of the players involved in the Super Bowl will play in the Pro Bowl, which means the third AFC quarterback, Peyton Manning of Indianapolis, might also be out.

Brett Favre of Minnesota and Drew Brees of New Orleans were named to represent the NFC, but one of them will be in the Super Bowl. Philadelphia's Donovan McNabb is next up as a replacement.

Dolphins host relief effort: The Dolphins will partner with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, Triton Container and the American Red Cross for a Haiti relief effort from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the stadium.

Non-perishable food items, water, medical supplies and hygiene products as well as all financial contributions will be accepted at Gate 15, located on 199th Street east of the stadium.

Triton Containers will provide containers at no cost and Royal Caribbean will ship the items to Haiti.

Sun Life Stadium Is Official New Name Of Miami Super Bowl 2010 Venue

Sun Life Financial and the Miami Dolphins announce that the Dolphin Stadium is now called Sun Life Stadium. As reported yesterday the deal comes just in time for Super Bowl 2010. Sun Life will promote the stadium as the "Official Home of the Miami Dolphins". Besides undisclosed sponsorship payments, Sun Life will contribute $250,000 in the Miami Dolphins Foundation annually.



"As Sun Life's tagline will tell you, ‘sooner or later you'll get to know their name,'" Dee said. "The decision to partner with the Dolphins to brand such a long-standing institution reflects the national and international prominence of the Dolphins and the stadium. In Sun Life, we have also found a partner that embraces our commitment to the community and the importance of giving back to the South Florida region."

Buying the naming rights for a stadium just in time for the Super Bowl is a nice move. Even after the game the name will stay in the sports news coverage.
