In August, fans and handicappers alike had the Philadelphia Eagles winning the NFL Super Bowl, after Head Coach and General Manager Andy Reid built a super team on paper. Five weeks into the season, it appears as though fans that took the Eagles put all their money in the barrel before counting it, as the Eagles are an underwhelming one and four. Today, we will be using bookie software to look at the updated Super Bowl odds.
Heading into the season, the Philadelphia Eagles were a six to one favorite to win the Super Bowl. Now, heading into week six, the birds are 33 to one dogs to win the Super Bowl. Consider, that the Eagles have pretty much been in all five games they have played this season. However, their inability to hang onto a lead has been the team’s Achilles heel. Meaning to say, if they can figure out how to hold a lead, the Eagles have the star power on paper to mount a come back and sneak into the sports betting playoffs with a Wild Card entrance.
If you do not believe on banking on a team that has been underwhelming at best this season, consider taking either the Green Bay Packers or New England Patriots. The defending Super Bowl Champion Packers, have won all five games heading into week six this weekend. Yet, at +275 favorites, are the Packers getting lucky, or for real? Over the last two weeks, the injuries have begun to mount up for America’s favorite franchise; will they play a factor down the stretch?
On the other hand, the NFL version of the Evil Empire, the New England Patriots, has been impressive to say the least this season. At +300 odds, Tom Brady and the Patriots offense appears to be just hitting there stride now, and should provide good value for a Super Bowl win.
