The Carolina Panthers are topping to Super Bowl LI odds.

With the Super Bowl now done and out of the way, it is time to look forward to Super Bowl LI. With the 2015-16 season just ending, we already have Vegas giving us the favorites for the upcoming season, and it is the Carolina Panthers at 8/1, per OddsShark. Despite losing by 14 points in Super Bowl 50, Carolina is seen as a young team on the doorstep of greatness.

To round out the top five in order, we have the New England Patriots (+825), Seattle Seahawks(+1100), Arizona Cardinals (+1100),and Green Bay Packers (+1200). Incredibly, the Broncos come in all the way down in the seventh spot, sitting directly behind the Pittsburgh Steelers (+1200). The team with the worst odds? The Tennessee Titans at 220/1.

Of course, all of this is going to change throughout the offseason with free agents moving from franchise to franchise. Denver might be so far down the list because it has a ton of free agents and it is likely that a new quarterback will be in place, perhaps in the man of Brock Osweiler. Carolina has all of its players coming back with only Josh Norman, Mike Tolbert and Roman Harper being free agents.
