Breaking news of the NFL's victory in federal appeals court related to last year's Deflategate case has shaken up the Super Bowl LI odds at sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark.
With the NFL now in a position to reinstate the four-game suspension of quarterback Tom Brady, which had been overturned by a federal court judge last September, the New England Patriots have been knocked from their perch atop the Super Bowl odds, dropping from +600 favorites to +900 at the sportsbooks.
While the suspension would not impact Brady's availability for next season's NFL playoffs, it would keep him sidelined for the first four weeks of the 2016 season, which includes a pair of crucial dates with AFC East rivals plus two games against defending division champions.
