With Justin Herbert being the first Chargers quarterback to throw for more than 5,000 yards in a season — think about that for a second, retired Chargers QB Dan Fouts is in the Hall of Fame — bettors are on the Bolts.
LAC took a step forward last season under first-year coach Brandon Staley, finishing 9-8 but missing the playoffs for the third consecutive season. Los Angeles was 7-9 in 2020.
"The Chargers have made a significant move," FOX Bet senior trader Tieme Wesselink said. "We laid them as high as +2000, and they are now +1300."
Tampa Bay's Tom Brady continues to defy logic and Father Time as he returns for his 23rd season in search of his record eighth Super Bowl title. Bettors will always back Brady when it comes to Super Bowl futures.
"Tampa Bay and the Chargers have been popular teams in the futures market and are among the largest liabilities of nonlocal teams in each state, especially New Jersey," Wesselink explained.
ODDS: Bills to win Super Bowl LVII (+650 at FOX Bet, bet $10 to win $75 total)
ODDS: Buccaneers to win Super Bowl LVII (+750 at FOX Bet, bet $10 to win $85 total)
ODDS: Chargers to win Super Bowl LVII (+1300 at FOX Bet, bet $10 to win $140 total)
Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills remain the Super Bowl favorites at FOX Bet (+650). Wesselink said FOX Bet hasn't seen the recent big bets on the Bills that some other sports books are reporting. Caesars Sportsbook content writer Max Meyer said the Bills have received the most bets of $1,000 or more to win Super Bowl LVII.
"We have not seen action of note on the Bills. They are not our largest liability in N.J., and we actually laid more stakes on the Chargers than on the Bills at this point of the season," Wesselink stated.
