I realize that we’re still 11 days away from crowing this year’s Super Bowl champion, but the hard reality is that there are fans of 30 NFL teams who are already looking ahead to next season.

So for those of you hoping that “2012 is the year,” you now have the opportunity to see what one website thinks about next season’s possibilities.

BetOnline.com (hat tip to Dave Mason) has opened the action with Bill Belichick’s New England Patriots as the early favorite at +500.

Sorry, Cardinals fans, but it looks like 2011 could be a bumpy ride.

Arizona Cardinals: +15000
