NFL Midseason Check: Bills Back on Top of the Super Bowl Board as the Bears Surge

Heading into Week 9, the NFL's top tier is crowded, and the futures market is moving fast.

The Super Bowl LXI Board

The Buffalo Bills (6-1) moved from +650 to +550 and are the favorite again, per VegasInsider. The San Francisco 49ers (6-1) are second at +580 to +600. The Chicago Bears (6-2) are now +700 to +950 after a statement win over Seattle and the addition of defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons; about 30% of recent Super Bowl futures money has landed on Chicago. Jacksonville (5-2) and Kansas City (5-2) sit around +950 to +1000.

Standings Snapshot

AFC: Buffalo 6-1, Denver 6-2, Pittsburgh 6-2, Jacksonville 5-2, Kansas City 5-2, Cincinnati 5-2. The Chargers are the league's only winless team at 0-7.

NFC: San Francisco 6-1, Minnesota 6-1, N.Y. Giants 4-2-1, Chicago 6-2, Detroit 5-2, Green Bay 5-3.

Injury Shake-Ups

Baltimore (4-4) lost Lamar Jackson to a thumb injury, and its odds went from +1400 to +10000. The Giants have stayed competitive at 4-2-1 even after losing Jaxson Dart for the season in Week 2.
