Super Bowl Odds: Betting With Casumo

While the Chiefs suffered through some early-season struggles, the Bills got off to a 4-1 record to take the early lead in the AFC. However, Kansas City quickly rebounded while Buffalo lost four games in a six-game stretch – including a stunning loss at Jacksonville. 

The Bills found themselves in a neck-and-neck battle in the AFC East with the New England Patriots to begin December. The Patriots surged under the quick maturation of rookie quarterback Mac Jones. If New England is the biggest surprise contender in the AFC, Baltimore has suffered through a rash of injuries that are contributing to the Ravens fighting just to reach the postseason.

Tennessee, the co-preseason favorite with Indianapolis in the AFC South, has managed to stay in the race for a potential first-round bye despite the loss of superstar running back Derrick Henry. Henry is out for at least the rest of the regular season with a foot injury, although the Titans hope he might be able to return for the playoffs.

The Packers opened with a Week 1 blowout loss, but Aaron Rodgers & Co. quickly brushed that off to again emerge as one of the biggest threats in the NFC along with Tampa Bay. Brady is dealing with injuries to his chest of playmaking weapons, including wide receiver Chris Godwin being lost to a season-ending knee injury on Dec. 19.

Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys have established themselves as the class of the NFC East on the back of a strong defense. The NFC West remains a tight battle with the Arizona Cardinals the last team to suffer a loss this season but now trying to fend off the Rams.

A couple of dangerous teams are lurking around the wild-card pictures, led by the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC and the Chargers and Colts in the AFC. 

It’s the Chiefs and Packers who currently have the shortest Super Bowl odds at +550 at Casumo. The next-shortest odds to win the Super Bowl belong to the Buccaneers (+700) and the Patriots (+1100).

Super Bowl Odds: Futures Betting

There are numerous ways to bet on the success – or struggles – of players and teams for the remainder of the season beyond straight Super Bowl betting odds.

Rodgers, the reigning NFL MVP, has emerged as one of the leading contenders to win the award again despite playing through a painful toe injury. Also in the mix is Brady along with Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, who has taken the reins as the league’s most productive running back with Henry sidelined.

In addition to Super Bowl betting odds, other futures markets include wagering on who will win the AFC and NFC conferences. Casumo also offers odds on which team will win each of the NFL’s eight divisions.

Kansas City and Dallas are overwhelming favorites to win their divisions, but the other six have remained tight battles late into the season. That includes the AFC North, where all four teams have stayed in contention, thanks in large part to the Ravens’ struggles.

The No. 1 seed in each conference comes along with a first-round bye, giving teams extra incentive to battle through the end of the regular season. Kansas City, New England and Tennessee are the current leaders in the AFC, while Green Bay, Dallas and Tampa Bay are jockeying for position atop the NFC.

The moneyline provides an opportunity to wager directly on the outcome of a game. A winning bet on the favored team will pay out less than a successful wager on the underdog.

Oddsmakers will also set an Over/Under points total for the game. Betting the Over is a wager that the two teams will combine to score more points, while the Under is a bet that fewer combined points will be scored.

Sportsbooks often offer point spreads, moneylines and Over/Under markets for specific halves and quarters of games as well.
