Packers among six biggest Super Bowl favorites
One-fourth the way through the season, nothing has changed for the Green Bay Packers from a betting perspective.
While the Packers are off to a 3-1 start, they remain 16-1 to win the Super Bowl, according to SportsBetting.ag. The Packers were 16-1 at the start of the season and following their season-opening win at Chicago, before climbing to 12-1 following wins over Minnesota and Denver. Last week’s loss to Philadelphia pushed the Packers back to 16-1.

New England and Kansas City remain the favorites to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. The Patriots were 7-1 to start the season and are 7-2 following a 4-0 start. The Chiefs have improved from 8-1 to start the season to 5-1. The Saints are third at 10-1, the Cowboys and Eagles are 12-1, and the Bears, Rams and Packers are 16-1.
The two interesting teams in the NFC are New Orleans and Dallas. The Saints were 8-1 to start the season but Drew Brees’ injury sent them crashing to 20-1. However, with the defense leading the way in quality victories over Seattle and Dallas, the Saints are back to 10-1. The Cowboys were 22-1 to start the season but have improved to 12-1 in their 3-1 start.
Cincinnati and Washington have gone from 150-1 to 1,000-1 and Miami has gone from 150-1 to 2,000 to 1. Pittsburgh (16-1 to 50-1), Houston (16-1 to 40-1) and Atlanta (28-1 to 66-1) are among the big fallers from teams who were expected to push for playoff spots.
In the NFC North, the Packers and Bears are 16-1 (12-1 to start the season but 20-1 after losing to Green Bay), Minnesota is 33-1 (16-1 after a Week 4 rout of Oakland) and Detroit is 40-1 (100-1 after a Week 1 tie vs. Arizona).
