This Time, Packers Make Move In Updated Rodgers’ Next-Team Odds
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Las Vegas Raiders remain an overwhelming favorite to be the 2023 team for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Just not as overwhelming a favorite as early in the day.
On Tuesday afternoon, DraftKings Sportsbook updated odds that it had posted on Tuesday morning. It’s a big adjustment, albeit not quite as dramatic as the earlier update.
While the Raiders remain a considerable favorite to be four-time MVP’s team for the 2023 season, the Packers made a big move into the No. 2 position and closed the gap considerably.
In the update, the Raiders are -390 to be the team for which “Rodgers takes his next regular-season snap.” That’s down just a bit from -450 to start the day. By implied probability, the Raiders went from 81.8 percent to 79.6 percent.
The Packers and New York Jets flip-flopped positions from the morning. The Packers, who started the day with the third-shortest odds, went from +600 to +300 while the Jets slid from +350 to +600. By implied probability, Green Bay went from 14.3 percent to 25 percent while the Jets backtracked from 22.2 percent to 14.3 percent.
“Vegas seems to be pretty right on on a lot of their stuff,” Rodgers said during Tuesday’s edition of The Pat McAfee Show, though that response was in context of the Eagles being a 1.5-point favorite over the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.
Rodgers’ former superstar teammate, Las Vegas receiver Davante Adams, has made clear his desire for the Raiders to acquire Rodgers. The fans at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am also showed their love for Rodgers in silver and black.
“There’s been a couple years where we got ousted from the playoffs by the Niners and then I went and played at Pebble and those years were very razzing, I would say, from the crowd,” Rodgers told McAfee.
“This year was a lot more positive, I think. The sentiment was very positive, people wanting me to get traded to their team, and the Raiders fans were probably the most vocal and the most numerous. But it was a lot of positive interactions with the crowd and the fans … I appreciated the positive words throughout the week.”
Here are the new odds, with only the numbers for the Raiders, Packers and Jets changing on Tuesday afternoon.
