So far, we are seeing the betting market effect of being a Super Bowl champion. Tampa Bay has won five of their six games straight up. However, they have covered the NFL betting odds just two times. Two factors are feeding into this loss of wagering value. First, Tom Brady and Co. get the very best shot of every opponent they face. That makes for closer than expected games. Second, there is too much casual money flooding in on the Bucs. Fanboy gamblers gravitate to Tom Brady and his championship club. Accordingly, Oddsmakers have to adjust the lines.
