Super Bowl 2020 Odds: Bears Attracting 'Overwhelming' Support, Says Caesars Exec
A host of NFL bettors are partying like it's 1985.
Caesars Sportsbook senior oddsmaker Alan Berg told ESPN's David Purdum that fans have placed more bets on the Chicago Bears to win their first Super Bowl in 34 years than any other team.
"It's been kind of overwhelming, the support [for the Bears]," Berg said. "Every time the Bears go to the playoffs, the following year, the money just pours in. Everybody gets optimistic."
Chicago is fresh off a 12-4 season and an NFC North title under head coach Matt Nagy, the ex-Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator who took the reins after the Bears finished a disappointing 5-11 the year before.
