At FanDuel, the Kansas City Chiefs are the favorites to win the Super Bowl, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is the overwhelming favorite for NFL MVP and Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is the favorite to win Offensive Rookie of the Year.<\/p>\n

Overall, those wouldn\u2019t be the worst results for the sportsbook.<\/p>\n

With the NFL season at an unofficial midpoint, the defending champion Chiefs are +350 to win the Super Bowl, followed by the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers at +600 and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at +700. The Bucs, since signing legendary quarterback Tom Brady during the offseason<\/a>, opened the season at +1,500 and are FanDuel\u2019s biggest liability.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs are No. 1 by handle (and bet count) and also a big liability as the preseason favorites<\/a>. They are followed by the Buccaneers, Steelers, Baltimore Ravens and Seahawks.<\/p>\n

\n

Wilson is the commanding favorite for MVP at -160. He is followed by Kansas City\u2019s Patrick Mahomes at +250, Green Bay\u2019s Aaron Rodgers at +900, Brady at +950 at Arizona\u2019s Kyler Murray at +2,200.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

While Wilson has the biggest handle, Murray is FanDuel\u2019s biggest liability.<\/p>\n

For Offensive Rookie of the Year, two quarterbacks \u2013 Herbert at -110 and Cincinnati\u2019s Joe Burrow at +120 \u2013 are the runaway leaders.<\/strong> Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson is a distant third at +1,400. Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Chase Claypool, who vaulted into the race with a four-touchdown performance vs. Philadelphia on Oct. 11, is +2,000 and the biggest liability.<\/p>\n

Thursday Night Game<\/h2>\n

What\u2019s left of the San Francisco 49ers will host the Green Bay Packers in the Thursday night game.<\/p>\n

The Packers opened as 2.5-point favorites but that line had jumped to 7 by midday Thursday. The game has been taken off the board twice \u2013 first due to 49ers injuries and then a COVID scare within the 49ers.<\/p>\n

We reposted at Packers -6.5. Then we found out two more starters are out and the game went to Packers -7. It\u2019s hard to believe this game is being played,\u201d<\/strong> Ed Salmons, the vice president of risk management and oddsmaking at Westgate SuperBook, told Casino.org.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

San Francisco has been mangled by injuries, so this matchup won\u2019t even look a little like last year\u2019s NFC Championship Game, which the 49ers won 37-20. With stalwarts such as defensive linemen Nick Bosa and Dee Ford, cornerback Richard Sherman and running back Raheem Mostert on injured reserve, the 49ers\u2019 inactives list will include quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, tight end George Kittle and receiver Deebo Samuel.<\/p>\n

And if that\u2019s not enough, receiver Kendrick Bourne tested positive for COVID-19 and left tackle Trent Williams and receiver Brandon Aiyuk were deemed high-risk close contacts, so none of those three will play, either.<\/p>\n

Green Bay has captured 96 percent of the spread money at FanDuel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Week 9 Schedule<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Here is this week\u2019s lineup. The biggest spread has the lone undefeated team, Pittsburgh (7-0), as a 14-point favorite over Dallas (2-6), which will be starting its fourth different quarterback of the season. Here are the spreads from SuperBook.<\/p>\n
