The Patriots are the second betting choice at 6-1, with Green Bay also having the same odds.

Here are the oddsmaking firm’s Super Bowl 50 odds for all 32 teams:

Seahawks: 5-1

Patriots: 6-1

Packers: 6-1

Cowboys: 10-1

Colts: 12-1

Broncos: 12-1

49ers: 18-1

Raiders: 100-1

Washington: 100-1

Buccaneers: 150-1

Jaguars: 150-1

Titans: 250-1
 
So weird seeing Dallas so high on that list.
 
Dallas usually has better odds to win than they should, they know we have a huge fanbase and tons of money will come in on the Cowboys.
 
So do we win it next year?

Pats: Surely will have a letdown after their SB win.
Seattle: SB loser traditionally doesn't have a good following year.
Colts: Still no defense or running game.
Broncos: Manning is on his last legs.
Niners: With their new DL coach? Good one.
Eagles: Nick Foles? Lawl.

I'll grant that the Packers should be a problem, plus maybe the Steelers. Also surprised Baltimore is so low. But the NFC looks pretty wide open.
 
 
Bookies set the odds to get people to place bets, not based on the likeliest outcome. Dallas always get adjusted for the fact that they are so popular and people like to bet on teams they like
 
What Carp said, basically. He lived in Vegas so he is an expert
