Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl odds sky-rocket after Rob Gronkowski trade

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are cruising up the oddsmakers board with the addition of Rob Gronkowski.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers — or is it now the Tompa Bay Patriots South? — did it again, significantly changing their odds of being in Super Bowl LV Tuesday with the trade for TE Rob Gronkowski.

Gronk, who was out of the NFL last season after retiring from the New England Patriots, said he wanted back and he wanted a trade to the Buccaneers to join his good friend Tom Brady. Fitting for the current Twilight Zone-like state of the world, New England head coach Bill Belichick actually allowed it to happen. Then again, only Belichick could land a fourth-round NFL Draft pick for a retired player.

And just like that, Brady + Gronk = Tampa Bay becomes a top-four team in the eyes of the BetMGM oddsmakers of winning the 2021 Super Bowl LV next January.

BetMGM has shortened the Bucs odds to +900, down from +1600. They were +5500 before the Brady acquisition! That’s some big offseason movement from a team rarely associated with being Super Bowl contenders.

New to sports betting? +900 represents 9/1 fractional odds, implying the Buccaneers have a 10.0% chance of winning Super Bowl LV. A $100 wager at +900 returns a profit of $900 — at the original +5500 odds, a $100 wager would return a profit of $5,500 should the Bucs go on to win this season’s championship.

You just know there are some of those +5500 tickets floating out there with the owners of them doing a little happy dance today.

Brady’s Buccaneers only trail the Kansas City Chiefs (+650) and Baltimore Ravens (+700) in the favorites to win Super Bowl LV department; the Bucs are tied with the San Francisco 49ers.

Gronk has one year remaining on his $10 million contract. In nine seasons with the Pats, he had 521 receptions for 7,861 yards and 79 receiving touchdowns. He now joins WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin to form a very nice trio of weapons for Brady to play catch with on Sundays… but will they be doing it on Super Bowl Sunday?

The Buccaneers are +1600, tied with the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles with the fourth-shortest odds to be next season’s Super Bowl LV champion. It would be Brady’s seventh championship if it occurs, further cementing his already first-ballot ride into the Hall of Fame someday.

New to sports betting? A future bet is placing a wager on an event to come much later, generally months, down the line. The odds are generally favorable, which can lead to significant profit if you nail the winning ticket. A $100 wager on the Buccaneers today would return a profit of $1,600 with a Tampa Bay Super Bowl LV victory.

+1600 odds represent 16/1 fractional odds, or the oddsmakers forecasting the Buccaneers have a 5.88% chance of winning Super Bowl LV.

Just about six weeks ago, at the conclusion of Super Bowl LIV, the Buccaneers were +5500 odds. Brady’s addition moved the sports betting line considerably. And now that Brady has moved from the AFC to the NFC, there’s always a chance he could meet up with his former New England Patriots squad in the Super Bowl. Wouldn’t that be a sight?

Speaking of those Patriots, without Brady their odds became longer, going from +1400 to +2000 at BetMGM. The power of Brady and the shifting odds board; expect to see more during the coming weeks and months.

When is Super Bowl LV?

The 2021 Super Bowl, which will be the 55th Super Bowl, is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 7, 2021. The game just so happens to be scheduled to be played at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla., otherwise known as Brady’s new home stadium. Get some early action on it by placing a bet at BetMGM.
