The Westgate raised the Raiders’ odds from 30-1 to 60-1 to win the 2024 Super Bowl at Allegiant Stadium.

“Our belief is that they were betting the Raiders thinking that they were getting Aaron Rodgers,” SuperBook oddsmaker Ed Salmons said. “Obviously, they didn’t get Rodgers, and going from Derek Carr to Jimmy Garoppolo, I don’t see how that’s an upgrade.

“I think that’s a big downgrade. Jimmy G is injury-prone. And the Raiders lost their backup quarterback (Jarrett Stidham), who signed with Denver (Monday). We don’t know who the backup is now.”
