Few teams had a better offseason than the Las Vegas Raiders. With all due respect to Rich Bisaccia, who helped lead Las Vegas to the playoffs after Jon Gruden was fired, the team upgraded at coach with Josh McDaniels. The Raiders also added two multi-time Pro Bowlers in receiver Davante Adams and pass-rusher Chandler Jones. So perhaps it's not a huge shock that Vegas is taking massive action at Caesars Sportsbook to win Super Bowl 57.
The Raiders are the only team with'+2000 or higher odds to rank inside the top 10 in handle for Super Bowl futures at Caesars. They opened at +4000 months ago to win the Super Bowl, which was tied for the 17th-lowest odds with the Seahawks, Browns, Eagles and Dolphins. Now Las Vegas is alone at +3000, the 15th-lowest odds.
Las Vegas has taken the second-most tickets overall (7.3%) and third-most money wagered (7.0%) to win Super Bowl 57. One Nevada bettor put down $4,444 at +3000 for a potential win of $133,320, the largest Raiders Super Bowl bet thus far at Caesars.
The AFC West is absolutely loaded this season with the Broncos adding Russell Wilson, the Chargers beefing up on defense and the Chiefs just being the Chiefs. The Raiders haven't won a division title since 2002 and are +600 long shots this year, but they were as high as +1200. Las Vegas has taken a division-leading 45.4% of the tickets and 42.1% of the handle to win the West.
