Blink and you'll miss another crazy day in the NFL.
Aaron Rodgers has re-signed with the Green Bay Packers, and Russel Wilson is on his way to the Denver Broncos.
Rodgers agreed to terms on a four-year extension with the Green Bay Packers, according to multiple reports.
While Wilson has been shipped to Denver for a massive haul, including multiple first-round draft picks, plus additional picks and players.
Both moves will greatly shape the landscape of the NFL next season and the odds already reflect that.
Green Bay's Outlook
When the Packers season ended, oddsmakers appeared to be pushing Rodgers out the door.
On Feb.3, Green Bay had the sixth shortest odds of any team to win the Super Bowl at +1500, a decent number but extremely long for any team with Rodgers at quarterback.
However, something changed in recent weeks. Green Bay was down to +950 as of yesterday.
Now, with Rodgers under contract and stud wide receiver Davante Adams expected to get the franchise tag, Green Bay appears primed for another successful regular season as they try to erase the demons of past postseason failures.
Favourites in the NFC
To the surprise of no one, Rodgers and the Packers are once again the favourites to represent the NFC at next season's Super Bowl.
The Packers, after opening with the third shortest odds of any NFC team, are currently +350 to advance to the Super Bowl.
The Los Angeles Rams (+450), San Francisco 49ers (+600), and Dallas Cowboys (+700) are the next three teams in line.
Here come the Broncos
After missing out on Rodgers, the Broncos turned their attention to a different superstar quarterback.
Oddsmakers, as always, have been on this right from the start.
The Broncos, despite being 19-30 since 2019, opened with the ninth best odds to win the Super Bowl at +2200.
Now, with the addition of Wilson, Denver’s odds have shortened to +1300.
Their chances to win the division just greatly improved as their number has shortened from +500 down to +260.
Market reaction
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have fallen from 22-1 to 28-1 to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys have seen an uptick, going from +1200 to +1400.
In the AFC, the addition of Wilson has seen Kansas City’s odds to win the title lengthen to +850, and are now -115 to win the AFC West after being -145 prior to the news.
MVP watch
Rodgers currently sits with the third shortest odds at +800 to win a third-straight NFL MVP.
The two players ahead of him are Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (+600) and Kansas City Chiefs pivot Patrick Mahomes, who are both listed at +600.
Coming in at fourth in yet another quarterback from the AFC, Chargers star Justin Herbert at +900.
Following that, you have three-straight NFC quarterbacks, Matthew Stafford (+1000) of the Rams, Dak Prescott (+1100) of the Cowboys, and Kyler Murray (+1200) of the Cardinals.
Wilson entered the day at +2500 and joined Murray at +1200 following the trade.
