With Free Agency spending transforming a number of teams, it makes sense that the odds of winning the Super Bowl are adjusted to match.  Did the Miami Dolphins increase their odds?  What about the Indianapolis Colts?  How did teams that were less active in free agency pan out?  Well, for the Jacksonville Jaguars, not so well.  Here are the odd before free agency and since Sunday, March 17th, per the LVH Sports Book Las Vegas (Thanks to NFP).

If anything, things got worse for the Jaguars, who now have 200/1 odds of winning the Super Bowl.  I’m not generally a betting man, but those odds are terrible!  Of note, the Miami Dolphins increased their odds by ten points and the Indianapolis Colts rose by ten as well.  The big drop of 50 points by the Jags and Oakland Raiders is more indicative of the desire to drive more money out of those fans than it is that their relative silence in free agency is hurting the teams.

The New England Patriots have done a good job of bolstering their team even while losing players like Wes Welker.  I still don’t see them as the real favorite, no matter what Las Vegas says.

It may be the offseason and we are all celebrating being 0-0, but I’ve got bad news for all you Jacksonville Jaguars fans.  We’re the least likely to be hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl 2014.  The Jags’ odds of winning the 2014 Super Bowl are 150:1, tied for last with the Oakland Raiders.  Even the Kansas City Chiefs – the other 2-14 team in 2012 – have 50:1 odds!

The New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers, and Denver Broncos round out the top three while the Jags, Raiders, Arizona Cardinals, Buffalo Bills, and Tennessee Titans round out the bottom with 100+:1 odds.  It’s a sad day for anyone who thought our rebuild year one may result in a Super Bowl.  Guess we better hope for a slightly longer timeframe.

Here are your 32 NFL Teams arranged by betting odds:

• New England Patriots: 7 to 1
• San Francisco 49ers: 8 to 1
• Denver Broncos: 8 to 1
• Green Bay Packers: 10 to 1
• Houston Texans: 14 to 1
• Baltimore Ravens: 14 to 1
• Seattle Seahawks: 16 to 1
• Atlanta Falcons: 18 to 1
• New Orleans Saints: 18 to 1
• Pittsburgh Steelers: 18 to 1
• New York Giants: 20 to 1
• Washington Redskins: 30 to 1
• Dallas Cowboys: 30 to 1
• Chicago Bears: 30 to 1
• Cincinnati Bengals: 35 to 1
• Detroit Lions: 40 to 1
• Minnesota Vikings: 40 to 1
• Indianapolis Colts: 40 to 1
• San Diego Chargers: 40 to 1
• Philadelphia Eagles: 50 to 1
• Carolina Panthers: 50 to 1
• New York Jets: 50 to 1
• Miami Dolphins: 50 to 1
• St Louis Rams: 50 to 1
• Kansas City Chiefs: 50 to 1
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 60 to 1
• Cleveland Browns: 66 to 1
• Arizona Cardinals: 100 to 1
• Buffalo Bills: 100 to 1
• Tennessee Titans: 100 to 1
• Oakland Raiders: 150 to 1
• Jacksonville Jaguars: 150 to 1

It just looks so bad being down at the bottom.  The odds should increase after year one of the rebuild!
