Updated Super Bowl 54 odds: Imploding Chargers now among longest shots

The Los Angeles Chargers won 12 games last season, tied for the most in the AFC – although they were relegated to wild-card status because they lost an AFC West tiebreaker with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bolts at one point entering this year were as short at +1200 on the NFL futures odds to win Super Bowl LIV.

However, that team is in disarray right now at 2-5 and are +12000 Super Bowl long shots on the FanDuel NFL odds. Coach Anthony Lynn is the +300 second-favorite per Sportsline oddsmakers to be the next head coach fired. Los Angeles truly found inventive ways to lose Sunday at Tennessee, having two potential game-winning touchdowns overturned on replay with less than a minute left. The second came on first-and-goal and the Titans 1-yard line with 34 seconds left. Melvin Gordon was originally ruled to have scored but then it was overturned on replay that he didn't break the plane. On the next play after the overturn, Gordon fumbled at the goal line and the Titans recovered to win 23-20.

The Chargers, who were +6500 to win the Super Bowl entering Week 7, have now turned the ball over five times in goal-to-go situations this season, not just the most of any team but most such turnovers by a club in the past 15 seasons. L.A. opened as a 5-point underdog this Sunday at fellow disappointment Chicago.

The Bears had taken the second-most Super Bowl bets entering the year behind only Cleveland, but they are regressing weekly on offense. Chicago has yet to even reach 300 yards and was dominated at home Sunday in a 36-25 loss to New Orleans in a game that really wasn't that close.  The 3-3 Bears were +3000 last week to win the Super Bowl but are now +5000.

Kansas City won in Week 7 easily in Denver but also lost superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes for a couple of games to a dislocated kneecap. The Chiefs' Super Bowl odds grew a bit from +850 to +1000. Matt Moore will start this week with K.C. as a 5-point home dog to Green Bay (+1000).
