NFL 2019 Super Bowl odds have been out for a while, but I'm just now getting around to chime in on them. In short, some of odds below, offered here by BetOnline.ag, make little sense. So if you're a gambling guy/gal and have the patience to wait a year to potentially cash in on the Super Bowl winner, there are some decent buys.
First, the odds:
| Team | Odds | Team | Odds |
| New England Patriots | 6/1 | Baltimore Ravens | 33/1 |
| Kansas City Chiefs | 7/1 | Carolina Panthers | 33/1 |
| Los Angeles Rams | 8/1 | Jacksonville Jaguars | 33/1 |
| New Orleans Saints | 10/1 | New York Giants | 40/1 |
| Chicago Bears | 14/1 | Seattle Seahawks | 40/1 |
| Indianapolis Colts | 16/1 | Tennessee Titans | 50/1 |
| Los Angeles Chargers | 16/1 | Arizona Cardinals | 66/1 |
| Minnesota Vikings | 16/1 | Buffalo Bills | 66/1 |
| San Francisco 49ers | 16/1 | Cincinnati Bengals | 66/1 |
| Green Bay Packers | 20/1 | Denver Broncos | 66/1 |
| Philadelphia Eagles | 20/1 | Detroit Lions | 66/1 |
| Cleveland Browns | 22/1 | New York Jets | 66/1 |
| Pittsburgh Steelers | 22/1 | Oakland Raiders | 66/1 |
| Dallas Cowboys | 25/1 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 66/1 |
| Houston Texans | 25/1 | Washington Redskins | 66/1 |
| Atlanta Falcons | 28/1 | Miami Dolphins | 100/1 |
• The Chargers at 16/1: They have the Chiefs in their division, which sucks for them, but the Raiders and Broncos have disaster written all over them, which helps. This team was reasonably close to earning the No. 1 seed in 2018. And frankly, they got screwed by a playoff system that rewards meh teams that win crappy divisions by giving them home games over wildcard teams that clearly had better seasons. If the Chargers can win the AFC West, they'll be in legitimate position to do some damage in the postseason.
• The Eagles at 20/1. The Eagles were truly a dominant team in 2017, and hey, they won it all. In 2018, they made it to the divisional round despite an absurd number of injuries. In the 2019 preseason Super Bowl odds, they're behind the 4-12 49ers and tied with the 6-9-1 Packers? What?!?
In 2019, Carson Wentz will be another year removed from his knee surgery, and the team will be getting half their roster back from injuries. 20/1 is an outstanding buy.
• The Texans at 25/1: Houston nearly earned a No. 2 seed in the AFC in 2018, DeShaun Watson will be a year better, and the team has $78 million in cap space, per OverTheCap.com.
• The Falcons at 28/1: I still believe in this team for some reason, and 28/1 odds are pretty tasty.
• The Seahawks at 40/1: Russell Wilson is still really freaking good, while the defense was better than expected despite several key losses. Also, like the Texans above, Seattle is loaded up with cap space, at $52 million.
• The 49ers at 16/1: Uh, what? They were 4-12 last season. Is the return of Jimmy Garoppolo really worth a swing of like 6-8 games, especially when one of his replacements, Nick Mullens, wasn't a complete disaster? How does this team have a share of the sixth-best odds to win it all?
• The Vikings at 16/1: Their defense is overrated, and wide receivers coach / quarterback Kirk Cousins is garbage.
• The Packers at 20/1: The Packers were 6-9-1 even with Aaron Rodgers. Granted, Rodgers is great, but the rest of this roster stinks.
