Twas the week before Week 1 and all through the sportsbook, the bettors weren’t moving the Super Bowl futures line, and neither was the House.
OK that’s lame, but as we approach the 2020 season, NFL futures remained static for a second week. Its noteworthy because typically preseason games, holdouts and exhibition game injuries have affected the odds to win the next Super Bowl.
Not so in 2020, where the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs and defending league champion Baltimore Ravens remain clear favorites at +600 and +650 respectively.
As per the last update two weeks ago, the 49ers, Saints and Buccaneers are all around 10-1 with the Patriots at 12-1 and Cowboys possibly real good value at 15-1. There is a cluster of six teams right around 20-1 and then the longer shots settle in at 30-1 and longer.
Of those, expect the Houston Texans to make an early-season jump if they can knock off the Chiefs in the season-opening Thursday Night game.
The projected bottom feeders have also remained unchanged with the Panthers, Jaguars, Bengals and the Washington Whatevers as the bottom four, all in the range of 150-1 to 200-1. Good luck with that.
