Aaron Rodgers Injury Drops Jets Super Bowl + AFC East Odds

Aaron Rodgers officially tore his Achilles and is out for the rest of the season.
Super Bowl odds for the New York Jets fell from +1800 to +5000 without Rodgers.
The New York Jets AFC East odds lengthened from +275 to +450 despite a divisional win.

NEW YORK – An unfortunate season-ending injury to quarterback Aaron Rodgers has New York Jets betting odds falling off the rails. The Jets had +1800 odds to win the Super Bowl before the game and now are +5000 after Rodgers officially tore his Achilles.

An MRI confirmed today that Aaron Rodgers officially tore his Achilles on the fourth play of his Jets’ career.

Rodgers’ season now, officially, is over. There already are questions about whether his Hall-of-Fame career is, too.

Despite defeating the Buffalo Bills without Rodgers, legal NFL betting sites don’t have faith in Zach Wilson leading the Jets to a Super Bowl.

The Jets defense was good enough to get them a 22-16 overtime victory against the Buffalo Bills, but legal sports betting odds show their chances of winning the Super Bowl without Rodgers are slim.

Rodgers is a four-time MVP winner and a future Hall of Famer. A loss of that magnitude unsurprisingly shakes up the betting board for the Super Bowl and Divisional odds.

Miami Dolphins Take Over AFC East Betting Board

Without Aaron Rodgers, the Jets are back to being a similar team as the 7-10 squad last season. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills loss to the Jets without Rodgers makes the Miami Dolphins the team to beat in the AFC East.

AFC East Betting Odds

Miami Dolphins +140
Buffalo Bills +145
New York Jets +450
New England Patriots +900

The Miami Dolphins stand alone in legal Florida sports betting odds for the AFC East winner. They impressed in a 36-34 win over the Los Angeles Chargers that saw quarterback Tua Tagovailoa throw for 466 passing yards and three touchdowns.
