The 2014 NFL Draft is over, so rookie minicamps and training camps will start in no time. While we get ready for the upcoming camps, America’s Bookie has released the updated odds to win Super Bowl XLIX and the San Francisco 49ers, the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos (who lost to the Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII earlier this year) are the favorites to win the Lombardi Trophy. The New England Patriots and the Green Bay Packers round out the top five.
The reigning Super Bowl champion usually opens as the odds-on favorite to repeat, despite the fact that it has been almost 10 years since the Patriots repeated as champions in Super Bowl XXXIX.
The Seahawks are listed at +450 to repeat, even though they will have their hands full holding off the 49ers (+400) just to win the highly-competitive NFC West Division. It’s safe to say that whichever team wins this division will most likely be one of the top seeds in the conference, and we all saw how important home field advantage was for the Seahawks last season.
The favorites from the AFC are the Broncos at +450. The devastating loss at Super XLVIII will be on their player’s minds for months to come and only time will tell if that can be a motivating factor that will lead to another AFC title run. Keep in mind that the last team to return to a Super Bowl after losing one was the Bills, who appeared in three straight Super Bowls from 1991 to 1993 after losing in 1990.
The fourth-favorites to win the Lombardi Trophy are the Patriots at +700. You just can’t count them out as long as Bill Belichick is on the sidelines and Tom Brady is under center.
The Packers have been listed at +950 to return to the Super Bowl for the first time since defeating the Steelers 31-25 in Super Bowl XLV. Last season proved just how important Aaron Rodgers is to them, so if he stays healthy for all 16 regular season games they will be in excellent position to win the NFC North and make a Super Bowl run.
