Ranked: Which team has the best odds of winning the Super Bowl?
With NFL training camps already in full swing, we decided to take a look at where the Vegas odds-makers think each NFL franchise stands right now.
We took a look at online betting site Bovada and pulled the numbers, ranking each of the 32 NFL franchises in order from least to most likely to win Super Bowl 51.
The next team on our list is…
player. 44. Bovada puts the odds of a Falcons Super Bowl win this season at <strong>50-to-1</strong>. NFC South. Last Super Bowl Win: NEVER. Atlanta Falcons. 20
LAST SEASON: 8-8 (second in NFC South)
COACH: Dan Quinn (second season with the team)
SPORTS ILLUSTRATED PRESEASON POWER RANKING: 27th
QB Matt Ryan has fallen off significantly in the past few years, can he turn it around? If not, at least the Falcons now have Matt Schaub in reserve.
Burke’s take: “Atlanta finished 21st in points scored last year. With its list of weapons on offense, it should not settle for anything lower than a top-10 mark in 2016.”
The defense needs to step up, as well. The Falcons’ 19 sacks last year were fewest of any NFL team.
BOTTOM LINE: Vegas likes the Falcons a bit more than the SI power rankings.
Next: Number 19 - Washington Redskins
