The New Orleans Saints’ blockbusting 48-7 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, last year’s Super Bowl champs, has lifted them to become favorites for this year’s title. The updated odds in the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook were first reported by David Purdum of ESPN:
This is a huge jump from where the Saints stood going into the weekend. They were tied with the Los Angeles Rams at +275 before rising to +180 following their win over the Eagles; the teams closest to them were the Kansas City Chiefs at +450 and Pittsburgh Steelers at +600.
