Long Shots Again But What's New?

The Chicago Bears are among the longest odds to win the Super Bowl after the 2022 season but as Cincinnati taught everyone, pay no attention to that man behind the betting window.

Oddsmakers doubt the ability of the Bears to make a run at the Super Bowl in Matt Eberflus' first year as coach.

Considering how much change has come to the roster, it's easy to see why the Bears are among the longest odds to win a Super Bowl according to Betonline.ag.

However, the odd part of it is the web-based casino dropped the Bears from 80-1 to 100-1 underdogs to win the Super Bowl just two days before they made the trade sending Khalil Mack to the Los Angeles Chargers for a second-round draft pick this year and a sixth-round pick next year. It was that date which sounded the start of the rebuild.

The Bears finished the month at 100-1, tied with the Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Giants.

The Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers are 125-1. At 150-1 are the Detroit Lions and Houston Texans, while the New York Jets were dropped to 200-1 as the month was about to end.

Buffalo has the best shot at 27-4 while Green Bay is fourth at 10-1.

There is one bit of light shining through for the Bears and all other long shots at the betting window: When the Super Bowl ended after 2021 season, the Cincinnati Bengals were 100-1 underdogs not to win the Super Bowl, but to win the AFC Championship.

The Bears in 2022 are +5000 to win the NFC championship, the second-longest odds and tied with the Giants. The Detroit Lions are at +6000.

Chicago is +900 to win the NFC North with Detroit at +1000. Green Bay is a prohibitive favorite at -190 and Minnesota second at +285.

Justin Fields is +6600 to win MVP.
