NFL Odds: Every team’s chance to win NFL Super Bowl 56
Odds of every NFL team winning Super Bowl 56: Seattle Seahawks +2500
We had to take a double look at this one. At +2500, there is an outrageous amount of value on the Seattle Seahawks to win the Super Bowl this upcoming season.
Once upon a time, the Seahawks were a middling offense that tucked the ball into the belly of running back Marshawn Lynch and depended heavily on their defensive stars. Fast forward to today, and it’s essentially the opposite. The defense can’t stop a nose bleed, they rank near the bottom in roughly every statical category but they’ve been saved time and time again by quarterback Russell Wilson.
He may have struggled to close out the year but for the most part, he was as good as just about anyone. Russell threw for 4,212 yards, the second-highest of his career and he tied for the second-most touchdowns with 40. Somehow, they found a way to lose to the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round of the playoffs but there’s still plenty to love about the Seahawks.
Not only is Wilson in the conversation for the best signal-caller in the game but D.K. Metcalf is on the shortlist of best wide receivers in the league. Also, you can expect Chris Carson to come back strong after an injury-plagued year. If we left out this past season, Carson registered back-to-back seasons of over 1,100 rushing yards. They also had a solid draft overall, bringing in receiver D’Wayne Eskridge and cornerback Tre Brown.
There’s a lot to like about this club and with the market undervaluing what Wilson brings to the table, bettors may want to examine this one a bit closer.
