  No starting quarterback over the age of 40 has ever Preston Tucker Jersey won a Super Bowl, but don't tell that to the oddsmakers in Las Vegas, because they clearly don't care.In their latest odds, the William Hill sportsbook in Nevada has listed the as a heavy favorite to win it all next season, despite the fact that will be 40 by the time his team kicks off the regular season in September.The odds released by William Hill this week are the first ones to come out since the ended back on April 29.The Patriots, who were originally listed as a 4-1 favorite to win it all when William Hill first released its odds in February, are now being given 3-1 odds. That's the best odds of any team. The latest odds take into account what each team did both in free agency and during the draft.So who's the biggest winner in William Hill's post-draft odds? That would be the .The Texans saw their odds drastically improve to grab during the first round of the NFL Draft on April 27. The Texans, who opened at 40-1 to win Super Bowl LII, are now listed at 20-1. That's the largest jump that any team made in William Hill's latest odds. Basically, getting rid of and adding a quarterback who's not Brock Osweiler did wonders for the Texans' odds. The should think about doing the same thing.The and were two other teams who saw their odds improve. As a matter of fact, the NFC East was one of just two divisions -- along with the AFC West -- where every team had an odds change over the past three months.In the NFC East, the ' odds got slightly worse (from 7-1 to 8-1), which probably had a lot to do with the Ronald Acuna Jr. Jersey fact that the Giants and Eagles both improved. Speaking of the Cowboys, a legendary Vegas oddsmaker explains why Oddsmakers clearly loved the fact that now has more weapons, because the Eagles went from 50-1 to 40-1. That was the second-best improvement by any team.In something that was somewhat of a surprise, the Giants saw their odds go from 25-1 to 18-1. That 18-to-1 listing makes the Giants one of the top eight favorites Jose Ramirez Jersey to win it all next season.By the way, since we're talking about New York, now seems like the time to bring up the , who have turned into a laughingstock in Vegas. The oddsmakers clearly hated the Jets' draft, what they did in free agency and the fact they don't have a starting quarterback, because the Jets' odds tumbled. The Jets went from 75-1 in February to 200-1 as of this week. Not only did the Jets have the ugliest drop on William Hill's list, but they have the second-worst odds of any team (in news that probably won't surprise you, the Browns are the worst at 250-1).The oddsmakers also had a good laugh at the ' expense. Following a draft where Chicago pulled off trades in recent history, the Bears' odds fell from 100-1 to 125-1. It appears that oddsmakers don't think the team has any hope in 2017 with or Mitchell Trubisky.Anyway, the most popular team to bet on over the past three months has been the , who've pulled in 11 percent of the Super Bowl bets at William Hill. and Cowboys fans have also been active, with seven percent of Super Bowl bets being placed on each of those two teams. The Patriots and are next on the list, with each team getting six percent of all Super Bowl bets at William Hill.Although the Patriots haven't been the most popular team to bet on, they are pulling in the big bettors. Through three months, the Patriots have pulled in 23 percent of the money wagered at William Hill, which is the highest of any NFL team.Basically, the six percent of fans who have bet on the Patriots have bet 23 percent of the money, while the 11 percent of Raiders fans who have bet on Oakland have only bet nine percent of the money. Packers and Cowboys fans have also been betting big Josh Tomlin Jersey , with each team pulling in eight percent of the money on Super Bowl LII bets.
