Makes sense since the Seahawks have to play the Rams, Cards, and 49ers twice, while the Packers play twice against the Bears, Lions, and Vikings. I wonder how the Rams and Packers would do if they swapped divisions?

Packers have leapfrogged Seahawks as Super Bowl favorites

Maybe a summer of Russell Wilson contract drama is rubbing off on the betting public.
Whether it’s that or the relative stability in other precincts, there’s a new Super Bowl favorite in Las Vegas.
Kevin Bradley, the sports book manager at Bovada.lv, said the Seahawks no longer carried their best odds to win the title.
“The Super Bowl runner-up Seahawks had been favorite to win it all in 2016 since their loss back in February but there is very little support for them from a betting perspective,” Bradley said. “The Packers have now jumped to the favorite position at 6/1 and have seen more money than any other team. If the Hawks can get there again and win the Super Bowl, it would be the best result for the book and I do not see that changing any time soon.”
The Seahawks are still second on their list at 13/2, followed by the Colts (8/1), Patriots (9/1) and Cowboys (10/1).
And now that I’ve written my second gambling-related item of the day, it’s time to pour one out in honor of our former PFT colleague Morris Wilkening.
