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.
