Yesterday, I examined if the Pittsburgh Steelers were close to winning a Super Bowl anytime soon.
Apparently the odds makers don’t give them much of a chance either.
According to Bovada.com, the Steelers have opened up around the middle of the pack in terms of their odds to win next year’s Super Bowl.
Bovada lists the Steelers with 33-to-1 odds of capturing the Vince Lombardi Trophy next season. That’s to be expected following an 8-8 season and actually is a bit better in the Steelers favor than I expected.
The defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks open up as next year’s favorite with 9/2 odds, followed by the San Francisco 49ers (15/2), Denver Broncos (8/1) and New England Patriots (14/1).
Here’s a look at the odds for every NFL team to win Super Bowl XLIX:
