The two books put the Dallas Cowboys in the top 10 for the best odds to win the Super Bowl in 2017.

The Broncos are considered a 14-1 shot to repeat while the Panthers are given 10-1 odds to take the final step that eluded them this time around.

The Broncos upset the Carolina Panthers 24-10 in Super Bowl 50 behind their top-ranked defense, yet they are 16-1 to win Super Bowl 51 pending Manning’s decision to return for another year or retire as a champion. Which team will win the Super Bowl? While Super Bowl XXV between the New York Giants and Buffalo Bills (wide right) was ranked No. 1, Super Bowl XXXVI between the Patriots and St. Louis Rams was ranked No. 4 and Super Bowl XLII between the Giants and Patriots was ranked No. 5. According to that website, the Panthers are 15-2 favorites, followed by the Seahawks at 8-1 with the Pats and Steelers each checking in at 9-1. Odds Shark had the same bottom four, while the Westgate Superbook had the Browns as the overwhelming cellar-dwellers with 200/1 odds at winning the next Super Bowl.
