Patriots heavily favored once again
How long can Tom Brady and the New England Patriots dominate the AFC East or the entire NFL for that matter?
By the looks of it, at least one more season if you consider how Las Vegas odds makers are favoring the defending champs.
The most likely match-up according to The Golden Nugget to meet up in the big game next February is the New England Patriots facing the Dallas Cowboys at 7-1 odds, followed by the Patriots taking on the Green Bay Packers at 8-1.
And if you are looking forward to a Super Bowl 51 rematch, The Golden Nugget has an Atlanta Falcons-New England Patriots second go-around currently set at 10-1 odds.
Interestingly enough, the New England Patriots are in the top five match-ups on the Vegas board. Just like the Golden State Warriors of the NBA, Las Vegas odds makers just can't a see a different team in the NFL outside of the Patriots claiming the crown this season when it comes to the 2018 NFL Championship.
If you are wondering what the longest long shot on the odds board match-up for Super Bowl 52 is, that would be a battle between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Jets. A title game between these two is currently drawing 5,000-to-1 odds. A $100 wager on a Jets vs. Niners would certainly help your retirement plan, that is if it the matchup actually happened!
The 2017 NFL season kicks off on September 7 when the Kansas City Chiefs take on the New England Patriots.
