Falcons Way-Too-Early Super Bowl Odds: Where's Atlanta After Raheem Morris Hire?
The Atlanta Falcons are preparing to go into the 2024 season with a new coaching staff led by Raheem Morris.
Morris will be tasked with getting the Falcons to their first Lombardi Trophy, but like Rome, the ascent won't be built in a day. That's why FanDuel is giving the Falcons long odds to win the Super Bowl at +5000.
The Falcons are located in the middle of the pack, tied for the 18th-best odds in the NFL, tied with the Cleveland Browns and Indianapolis Colts.
Atlanta actually has the best odds out of any team in the NFC South. The New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are being given +7500 odds, while the Carolina Panthers have a league-worst +25000. This means Atlanta could be favored to win its first division title since 2016.
To no surprise, the two current Super Bowl participants are the current favorites to go back to the big game in a year from now. The San Francisco 49ers have +450 odds, while the Kansas City Chiefs are at +750.
How Will Pitts Fit in New Offense?
It's still incredibly early, and the odds will shift a lot between now and the start of the season. The first opportunity the odds have a chance to shuffle will be in free agency where the Falcons signal who they will go into the season with at the quarterback position.
