Bills the Super Bowl favorite as season nears midpoint

The Buffalo Bills are now the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl, among the most prominent shifts in futures odds from Week 1 as the NFL season reaches its midpoint, according to TheLines.com, which tracks odds in the U.S. regulated sports betting markets.

A consensus of that nation’s largest legal online sportsbooks — including FanDuel, DraftKings, PointsBet, PlaySugarHouse, and BetMGM — now place the Bills at +550 to win the Super Bowl, meaning bettors would win $550 for every $100 wagered. The AFC runners-up last season, the Bills entered this season at +1150, behind only the Kansas City Chiefs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Baltimore Ravens. But a 5-2 start highlighted by an impressive 38-20 domination of the Chiefs two weeks have shifted the odds of the high-flying Bills.

Meanwhile, the 6-2 Bucs stand at +600 to win the Super Bowl after opening the season at +650. Both the Bills and Bucs sit just ahead of the NFL’s four one-loss teams: the Los Angeles Rams (+750, from +1500), Green Bay Packers (+900, from +1400), Dallas Cowboys (+1000, from +3500), and Arizona Cardinals (+1100, from +4800).

“Even though the Buccaneers and Bills have lesser records than a handful of teams, they are proven commodities,” said Brett Collson, lead analyst for TheLines.com. “That is especially true at quarterback, where Josh Allen has become a bona fide star and Tom Brady is, well, Tom Brady. Just behind, though, are veteran stars such as Matthew Stafford, Aaron Rodgers, and Dak Prescott, which shows just how important that position is in oddsmakers’ calculations.”

The consensus odds to win the Super Bowl, as of Monday, Nov. 1, compared with odds ahead of Week 1:

Buffalo Bills (+500, from +1150)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+600, from +650)
Los Angeles Rams (+750, from +1500)
Green Bay Packers (+900, from +1400)
Dallas Cowboys (+1000, from +3500)
Arizona Cardinals (+1100, from +4800)
Baltimore Ravens (+1100, from +1400)
Kansas City Chiefs (+1300, from +500)
Tennessee Titans (+1400, from +3000)
Los Angeles Chargers (+2500, from +3300)
New Orleans Saints (+3000, from +4000)
Cleveland Browns (+3200, from +1600)
Las Vegas Raiders (+4000, from +10000)
Cincinnati Bengals (+4000, from +15000)
San Francisco 49ers (+5500, from +1400)
Pittsburgh Steelers (+5500, from +5000)
New England Patriots (+6000, from +3700)
Minnesota Vikings (+7500, from +5000)
Indianapolis Colts (+8000, from +3500)
Seattle Seahawks (+10000, from +2500)
Denver Broncos (+12500, from +5000)
Carolina Panthers (+15000, from +9000)
Philadelphia Eagles (+20000, from +12500)
Atlanta Falcons (+32000, from +8000)
Chicago Bears (+50000, from +6600)
Washington Football Team (+50000, from +5000)
Miami Dolphins (+65000, from +4000)
New York Giants (+75000, from +8000)
New York Jets (+250000, from +15000)
Jacksonville Jaguars (+250000, from +13000)
Houston Texans (+400000, from +30000)
Detroit Lions (+400000, from +25000)

The consensus point spreads for Week 9 games, as of Monday, Nov. 1:

New York Jets at Indianapolis Colts (-10.5); over/under 46.5
Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals (-2.5); over/under 45.5
Denver Broncos at Dallas Cowboys (-7); over/under 49.5

Internet Vikings Becomes VMware Premier Partner

Internet Vikings, a leading provider of in-state hosting solutions for the iGaming and online sports betting sector, announces that they have achieved VMware Premier Partner status, further enhancing their cloud hosting services in the United States.

On December 11, 2023, Broadcom gave notice of the discontinuation of perpetual licenses and SaaS, shifting towards a subscription-based model for VMware software offerings and introducing improved services for VMware Cloud Foundation and VMware vSphere Foundation. This licensing change will require customers across many sectors, including iGaming and sports betting, to plan for a transition to this new model.

Acknowledging businesses will require support in managing this transition, this status enables Internet Vikings to assist clients through this shift, with a specific focus on implementing efficient strategies tailored to their needs. Internet Vikings, the Swedish based hosting provider is glad to have been selected as a VMware Premier Partner and is well equipped to offer these services to both their European customers and across the U.S. Internet Vikings will also extend a white label solution to partners who don’t have direct access to VCSP licensing options through Broadcom, offering broad-based support and accessibility.

Kristoffer Ottosson, COO at Internet Vikings, states: “VMware’s shift to subscription licensing impacts the digital infrastructure within the iGaming and sports betting industry. As an invited VMware Premier Partner, we’re prepared to help our clients adapt, providing them with access to reliable and scalable solutions.”

“Together with over 16 years experience and the benefits of the Premier Partner Program, Internet Vikings remains a reliable, long-term partner that stays ahead of the licensed U.S. iGaming and sports betting industry changes,” Rickard Vikström, CEO and Founder adds.

Internet Vikings’ dedication goes beyond mitigating the immediate impact of VMware’s licensing changes. This position underscores Internet Vikings’ commitment to providing client-centric solutions meeting customer needs.
