In 2021, the Detroit Lions finished with a 3-13-1 record so to think they are going to follow that up with a Super Bowl win, seems extremely far-fetched.
That being said, two weeks into the 2021 season, the Cincinnati Bengals, who were coming off a 4-11-1 2020 season, were listed at 200-1 to win Super Bowl 56 and as we know, they came damn close to winning it all but they lost to Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams.
After last season’s Super Bowl, coming off a 4-11-1 season, Joe Burrow and company were given +6600 odds to hoist the Lombardi at the end of the 2021 season. Those odds continued to skyrocket as the offseason progressed, jumping up to +10000 and even getting to +15000 at one point in the offseason. Just two weeks into the season, sitting at 1-1 with both games coming against unimpressive opponents, the Vikings and Bears, the odds jumped even more to +20000. There were several points between here and the previous Super Bowl where Cincy’s odds at the ultimate prize were longer than those of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
