The New England Patriots, unbeaten and outscoring opponents by an average of 16 points per game, are now the co-favorites to win Super Bowl 50 according to futures odds released Tuesday by the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook.
New England, which opened the season at 8-1, has improved its odds each week and is now listed at 5-2, along with the Packers.
Five teams remain undefeated entering Week 7, down from six a week ago after the Falcons fell to the Saints on Thursday. That drops Atlanta (5-1) a half game behind the Panthers (5-0) in the NFC South, though the Falcons maintain a slight edge in Westgate’s odds. At 18-1, the Panthers are by far the biggest longshot of the unbeatens.
Cincinnati and Denver are both listed at 10-1 with each entering their bye week. Both the Seahawks (2-4), who just lost to Carolina at home, and two-loss Arizona are both getting 12-1 odds.
Holding steady: Both New York teams. The Jets and Giants have each been listed at 25-1 for three consecutive weeks after getting 100-1 odds early in the season.
The Jets have the poor fortune of playing in the same division as the Patriots, but lead the league in rushing yards per game and points allowed per game. They’ll play at New England on Sunday. Westgate has the Patriots as a 9-point favorite.
The Giants benefit from playing in the NFC East, where no team is over .500 after Philadelphia’s win over the Giants on Monday night.
Trending down: Baltimore. No team’s stock is falling faster than the Ravens’ right now. After opening the season at 16-1 odds, they’re now down to 300-1 and sitting in last place in the AFC North after losing at San Francisco on Sunday. Only the Jaguars, Bears and Lions have given up more points this year.
