A New “Big 3” Emerges from the Latest Super Bowl Odds Update

A New “Big 3” Emerges from the Latest Super Bowl Odds Update

The newest “Big 3” in sports has arrived, and it comes in the form of Super Bowl contenders. In this week’s Super Bowl futures release from Westgate, a clear gap has emerged separating the top three teams from the pack.

The Patriots, Steelers, and Eagles, all of whom won by more than 20 points in Week 11, have retained the first three spots on the list, and all find themselves at their best odds this season to date (yes, even New England has surpassed their historic +275 preseason odds).

They’re now the only three teams inside of 10-1, as the betting market seems to have soured on New Orleans following their overtime win over Washington, which pushed the Saints back from +600 to +1000.

Two other teams come in this week at their best Super Bowl odds of the season: Minnesota (+1000) and Jacksonville (+2000).

The Vikings are now riding a six-game win streak behind Case Keenum’s surprisingly sound quarterback play. After dropping to +1400 last week despite a win at Washington, they regained the trust of bettors this week with their 24-7 victory over the Rams.

Jacksonville’s offense could only find the end zone once in their less-than-impressive win over the Browns this week, but by earning their fourth straight victory, the Jags’ Super Bowl odds continue to climb. As long as they keep winning the story shouldn’t be any different next week.

The Chiefs fell to +1600 after losing in overtime to the Giants, but you might not want to jump off the wagon just yet. Their remaining schedule includes their three divisional opponents, as well as the three AFC East teams not named the Patriots. With four of those six games being at home, they have a great chance to get hot at the right time of the year.
