00:00Now that the NFL draft is over, it's time to take a look at who's going to win next year's Super Bowl.
00:06Vegas has the odds set right now, and we're going to discuss some of the favorites,
00:10and maybe a few long shots with Jamie Eisner and Frank Taddeo,
00:13two of our gambling analysts here at Sports Illustrated.
00:16Jamie, I'll go to you. Let's run through some of the favorites for next year's Super Bowl.
00:20What do you got?
00:22Yeah, two AFC teams remain at the top, Kansas City, the defending champs,
00:25come in at plus 400 as the favorites to win the Super Bowl right now.
00:29Just behind them, the Baltimore Ravens at plus 650.
00:32Then you get San Francisco at plus 700 to round out the top three.
00:36And I know for those of you that are interested, because there are a lot of them out there,
00:39the Dallas Cowboys come in at 15 to 1 as the sixth best odds to win the Super Bowl.
00:44But as you see, the elite in the AFC from last season dominate the top of the current odds.
00:50Frankie, let me go over to you, because the Vegas books really haven't changed a lot of the odds too much.
00:56Are they waiting for the schedule to come out?
00:59No, to be honest, Bill, I think that really what we see is that the NFL draft was able to take place.
01:04However, the coronavirus pandemic took away the ability of Vegas handle to really see immense amounts of support.
01:12Without the draft being here in Vegas, the odds makers really don't like to move their numbers on air.
01:18And right now would be a being virtually no handle at almost all of the books on this particular market right now,
01:25because the fans weren't here to immediately bet on the teams and their favorite teams while they were here attending the NFL draft in Vegas.
01:32Right now, the handle is virtually non-existent.
01:35So we're not really seeing much movement outside of possibly a little bit of movement that we saw with the news that Rob Gronkowski joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
01:45The odds on that team on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they dropped just slightly from like 14 to 1, 13 to 1, depending on where you looked.
01:51But really, there was really no movement after the draft.
01:54And that was due to the fact that there really was no handle at all due to the pandemic.
01:58This is something we're going to keep an eye on all summer long.
02:02And when there's a major update, we'll give you an update.
02:04Thanks, guys.
