Unlike last season, when there was no true favorite to win the Super Bowl, the New England Patriots stand alone as the team sportsbooks deem to have the best shot at taking the Lombardi Trophy this season.
It's hard to argue otherwise, considering the Pats finished with a league-best 14-2 record and a 191-point differential.
The games aren't played on paper or in Las Vegas casinos, however, so let's take a brief look at the Super Bowl odds and provide the best value pick, the best sleeper selection and a prediction for the big game.
Odds to Win Super Bowl LI
Team | Odds |
New England Patriots | +165 |
Dallas Cowboys | +450 |
Atlanta Falcons | +600 |
Pittsburgh Steelers | +700 |
Green Bay Packers | +700 |
Kansas City Chiefs | +800 |
Seattle Seahawks | +1200 |
Houston Texans | +5000 |
Best Value: Atlanta, +600
To be honest, it's a little confusing that Atlanta is only slightly ahead of Pittsburgh and Green Bay on the Super Bowl odds table.
