Super Bowl Odds are on the move once again after another crazy week of NFL action. The LA RAMS are now co-favorites to win the Super Bowl in February with the Saints at 3/1 odds. Surprisingly oddsmakers are keeping the KC Chiefs ahead of the Patriots after the release of Kareem Hunt.
The LA Chargers continue their run up the odds-board after a primetime win Sunday night in Pittsburgh. The Chargers Super Bowl odds are now set at 11/1 after opening the season at 33/1 odds to win the Lombardi Trophy.
Meanwhile, the Patriots are quietly getting stronger and marching along to another easy AFC East division crown. The Pats offense should strike fear to any defense if Gronk is healthy. His presence along with what now looks to be a top-notch set of WR’s, has the Pats primed for another Super Bowl run.
Listed below you will see the opening Super Bowl Odds for each NFL team, along with their current odds to win the Super Bowl in February 2019.

ODDS TO WIN THE SUPER BOWL:
Opening Super Bowl Odds Vegas Favorites:
The Philadelphia Eagles were tabbed +5000 underdogs on the Super Bowl odds to raise the Lombardi Trophy early last season. The Los Angeles Rams, Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills all went off the board with +10000 or greater odds to win the big game heading into last season. All four teams qualified for the playoffs to offer up astute futures bettors fantastic hedging opportunities once the postseason came around.
Bottom line, there was some fantastic line value to take advantage of save for backing the New England Patriots who opened chalk to win the big game and remained that way up until it kicked off. Who will be this season’s big dogs overlooked by linemakers? Which chalks should be targeted? Let’s dig in and put some of the Super Bowl 53 futures odds movement under the microscope and see if the early betting hype is for real or hot steam. All odds mentioned are from MyBookie Sportsbook.

Who Are the Wise Guys Picking To Win The Super Bowl?
NFL Wise guys are of the belief linemakers either got it wrong or are hunting for line value early on with the Arizona Cardinals (+7500), Baltimore Ravens (+4000), Buffalo Bills (+8000), Cleveland Browns (+6600), Indianapolis Colts (+5000), Miami Dolphins (+10000), New York Jets (+10000) and Seattle Seahawks (+5000).
I’m not buying any Browns shares at this point in time, but you can’t help but think Cleveland will put a more cohesive and formidable team onto the gridiron with the moves made this past offseason. Their 4.5 game season win total is one game fewer than that of the Arizona Cardinals who saw their odds to win SB LIII shorten up by $2500 since first opening.
I’m not buying Arizona either, but a healthy David Johnson will no doubt do wonders for its offense. Remember, Zona is just two seasons removed from playing in the NFC Championship Game. But are you willing to throw your money on Sam Bradford, Mike Glennon or Josh Rosen leading this franchise to Super Bowl glory? Didn’t think so.
Are the Ravens A Sleeper Pick To Win The Super Bowl?
Of this group of early NFL Odds line movers, the only team of intrigue is the Baltimore Ravens. This is a proud franchise with excellent upper management that’s fallen upon hard times the last couple seasons. Without a playoff appearance in three years mostly due to a struggling offense, Baltimore went out and brought Joe Flacco in some new toys to play with.
He’s already built a solid rapport with newcomer Willie Snead, and the additions of Michael Crabtree and John Brown might actually pump new life into what’s been a stagnant passing attack. Add a resurgent passing game to a promising ground game with Alex Collins leading the charge, and the Ravens can get back to playing their style of ball. Don’t forget about Kenneth Dixon returning from a season-long injury. The defense is still legit, but lacks depth so injuries will be of utmost concern.
Though the Steelers are the decided -275 favorites to win the AFC North, the Ravens have the team in place to chase them down and they’re hungry!
Lets Take A Look At The Super Bowl Favorites
On the chalky side of things, the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles continue to get some preseason love on the futures odds. They opened at +850 to go back-to-back, but the payoff now sits at +705. There haven’t been successive Super Bowl winners since the Patriots pulled the feat in the 2004 and 2005 seasons. The franchise never won the big game up until last season. Sorry Philly, you’re not winning it again this year but I do foresee another fun season going down in the City of Brotherly Love.
The Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints are all receiving some interest with each expected to win their respective division’s title. None of the trio currently has less than a 9.5 game season win total. The Vikes check in at 10 after winning 13 to cruise to the NFC North championship a second straight season. I foresee LA and Minnesota putting forth exceptional seasons once again, but I’m not sold on “Who Dat Nation.” The NFC South looks to once again be one of the toughest divisions in football.
Super Bowl Futures Heavy On the Chargers?
A team getting a ton of love from the betting public since the futures offs first opened are the Los Angeles Chargers. Anthony Lynn’s troops opened at 22-1 to win LIII, but have since been bought down all the way to 13-1! Remember, this is a team that lost its first four games of last season, some in heartbreaking fashion, and then went on to close the year on 9-3 SU and 8-4 ATS win streaks.
One of the league’s best defenses snagged depth in the NFL Draft, and Philip Rivers is back under center to navigate what ended up being the No. 4 ranked offense from a season ago. All the pieces are in place for LA to make a deep run. If the team can get out to a better start this time around and most importantly avoid the injury bug, the Chargers just might finally be able to live up to the preseason hype they’ve grossly failed to do in year’s past.
SUPER BOWL ODDS LARGEST LINE MOVE:
While the main focus of sports wagering involves betting on individual games, futures wagers are also quite popular in sports betting. The most popular futures in NFL betting involves the Super Bowl.
Most bookmakers will release their Super Bowl odds in February of each year, right after the Super Bowl of the prior season is completed. Thus, the initial odds are primarily based on the results of the previous year. Once the first odds are released, there will be various shifts in the odds during the spring and summer based upon personnel changes for each team. The free agency period can also turn the fortunes of several teams in the offseason. The NFL Draft in May is closely monitored, and coaching changes can certainly lead to shifts in the odds.
During the offseason, the Super Bowl odds are based on speculation. After all, the actual teams have yet to play a game. Once the season begins, the odds have a deeper rooted foundation because bettors can evaluate the teams on the field each week. It is during the regular season when the Vegas and offshore books futures odds will fluctuate the most as teams move up and down, like stocks, depending on their perceived value.
Big Super Bowl long-shots are tougher to find
The appeal of Super Bowl betting to bettors involves the favorable odds of these wagers compared to the 10/11 odds of football point spread bets. It wasn’t uncommon to find teams at odds of 200/1 before the start of the season in the recent past. However, these kind of odds have basically disappeared since the 1999 St. Louis Rams and 2001 New England Patriots ended up winning Super Bowls after being in the 100/1 range at certain points during their championship seasons.
Still, some teams are priced in the 100/1 range prior to each season. These favorable football odds can attract serious professional gamblers and casual sports fans who want to take a shot with their favorite team.
Super Bowl Betting – Good bet for the house?
Super Bowl futures are usually a favorable bet for the house. There are 32 wagering options but only one winner. Because money is pumped in on a year-round basis, online sportsbooks have plenty of opportunities to adjust the odds in their favor. If certain teams are getting bet too heavily, their odds can be adjusted to a lower payout to make the clubs a less favorable wager. In addition, teams that aren’t getting much support can have their betting odds adjusted to a higher payout to lure in more wagers.
In the past decade, Super Bowl Prop Bets have become big business in the Vegas sportsbooks and offshore. The average bettor is very comfortable wagering on prop bets for a couple of reasons. #1, they have been watching these players all season long. They feel as if they know as much about the players as the oddsmakers. #2, with so many prop bets available from the coin toss, to the halftime show, bettors assume that some props are “soft” and can be easily won.
According to CBSNews.com, sports gamblers wagered a record $158.6 million on the Super Bowl at Nevada’s 198 sports books, over $20.1 million more than in 2017. The tallies released Monday by the Nevada Gaming Control Board showed sports books made a profit of only about $1.2 million on the action, around $9.8 million less than in 2017 and not even close to the $19.7 they cleared in 2014.

You Can Even Bet on Super Bowl Commercials
One of the biggest reasons that the Super Bowl has huge TV ratings every year, is the anticipation of funny commercials and Super Bowl Prop Bets. The price for this exposure continues to rise, as advertisers will be asked to pay close to $4 Million Dollars for a 30 second commercial. The betting options for Super Bowl commercials normally range from which ad will be the highest rated.
