This doesn't make sense to me. I checked the odds at AcesGold for teams to win the Super Bowl on Saturday then today. With fewer teams remaining, it seems that all odds went up with the considered contenders except the Rams. These are listed as Saturday's odds then today's. (Note:Only listing teams that are still alive):
Team Saturday Tuesday
Miami 20/1 20/1
Baltimore 15/1 20/1
Tampa 15/1 25/1
San Fran 10/1 15/1
Oakland 8/1 10/1
New Eng. 8/1 10/1
Green Bay 5/1 5/1
Chicago 5/1 5/1
Pittsburgh 2/1 5/2
St. Louis 7/5 Even
Philly 20/1 18/1
Jets 40/1 35/1
I am confused by this. When Baltimore was not guaranteed to be in the playoffs, they were 15/1. They win last night and lock up a spot but go to 20/1. Can someone explain how this works. Are the books getting killed with Rams money, so they have to raise everyone else's odds to attract money? Or do they actually think these are the truest odds?
Please explain and thanks.
