Biggest Super Bowl Odds Winners and Losers Following Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers News
The NFL offseason has started off with a bang. Aaron Rodgers has made his decision to stay in Green Bay, while Russell Wilson decided to leave Seattle and go to Denver.
With two of the biggest quarterback dominos fallen, let’s go through the early winners and losers of the NFL offseason.
All odds listed are via WynnBET.
Winners
Packers and Broncos
Green Bay is now third (+1000) on the Super Bowl odds list, while the Broncos are fourth (+1200). Getting a franchise quarterback is the hardest thing to do in football and these two teams just secured theirs.
The Packers, who might be the class of the NFC this season, will have a much easier path to the Super Bowl than the Broncos. Denver has to get past Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert and Derek Carr just to get to the playoffs.
Their moves up the ladder give teams like the Chargers, Ravens and even Chiefs a bit more value, if you believe in them.
Everyone outside the AFC West
We get to watch the AFC West turn into the best quarterback division in football, which is bound to have amazing action every week. Unless your team is in the AFC West, watching those games might be the highlight of the year. Three of the four teams in this division are in the top seven of shortest odds to win the Super Bowl. The drama will write itself.
NFC
Although Aaron Rodgers is staying, the NFC just became even more wide open. The AFC is filled with good young quarterbacks and is an absolute gauntlet. The NFC just got rid of Tom Brady, leaving one more hole at quarterback.
The Rams and Packers are now both in the top five of the Super Bowl odds standings. After that, it’s open season.
Losers
Las Vegas Raiders
The Raiders are now +6000 to win the Super Bowl. Las Vegas ended up in second place in the AFC West last year, and now has to face two Super Bowl winning quarterbacks and Justin Herbert six times a year. Las Vegas could’ve been another feel good story of the year, but that seems dead as of now.
Derek Carr’s MVP odds are still at +3000. If somehow the Raiders are the ones to emerge victorious from the AFC West smoke, Carr will certainly have some votes.
