Packers have leapfrogged Seahawks as Super Bowl favorites

“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.”

Everyone knows who the best team was last year.

I don't get being the favorites with as many question marks as we have on defense, and with a new special teams coordinator coming in and the offensive playcalling. Not saying that things won't turn out awesomely, just saying there's a lot of question marks.

Besides, it's Vegas. It has nothing to do with which is the better team or the team with the least question marks (I say least because every team has them) it has to do with where the money is being bet. People are betting on the Packers.

IMO, all this pre-season Packer rah-rah "favorite" stuff is setting the Packers up to be...

~~Super Bowl Champions~~

Biggest Disappointment

I wonder if Vegas is going to re think this decision with all the recent misconduct?

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

The only thing that could make things worse is if a couple injuries pop-up on the defensive line before Jones and Guion get back. The Packers can absolutely beat the Chicago Bears and many other teams without Datone, Guion, and Quarless.

The Bears game won't be as easy as some may think. The John Fox lead coaching staff is one not to be looked over especially early on.
