The San Francisco 49ers have separated themselves from the pack as the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl, and their quarterback Brock Purdy now sits atop the odds for league MVP.
The 49ers, after their impressive road win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, moved to 3-1 to win the Super Bowl at ESPN BET — the shortest odds for the big game that any team has had this season.
The 49ers, Chiefs and Eagles had been co-favorites last week, but oddsmakers believe San Francisco is clearly the team to beat. «Other than the first quarter, they looked dominant,» Adam Pullen, assistant director of trading for Caesars Sportsbook, said of the 49ers. «It wasn't even close.
They cemented themselves as of now the best team in the league.» Purdy passed for 314 yards and four touchdowns against the Eagles, outplaying Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts, who had been the MVP favorite.
