Bettors have spoken: The Chicago Bears and Cleveland Browns -- and their young quarterbacks -- are public darlings at Las Vegas sportsbooks.
There are more bets on the Bears to win the Super Bowl than there are on any other team at multiple sportsbooks. The Browns are right behind the Bears in Super Bowl bets.
"It's been kind of overwhelming, the support [for the Bears]," Alan Berg, senior oddsmaker for Caesars Sportsbook, said. "Every time the Bears go to the playoffs, the following year, the money just pours in. Everybody gets optimistic."
The Bears are 9-1 to win the Super Bowl at Caesars Sportsbook, the fourth-best odds behind the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs, who are co-favorites at 7-1, and the New Orleans Saints at 17-2.
