Falcons’ Super Bowl odds did not improve with draft

The Falcons’ draft did not help the team’s Super Bowl chances.

Before making seven picks in Nashville, Tenn. — rated a C-minus by the AJC — oddsmakers had projected the Falcons' win total at nine games for the 2019 season. Their Super Bowl chances at 33-to-1 odds.

After Saturday’s final pick, Atlanta’s odds were cemented at 33/1.

Some teams that lost a step after the draft include Kansas City and New Orleans. Teams whose odds improved include the Dallas and Arizona.

Super Bowl 54 will be played Feb. 2, 2020, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla.
