The Avalanche entered the 2020-21 NHL season as the oddsmakers’ favorites to win the Stanley Cup. But the team failed to live up to the hype, falling in the second round to Vegas.
However, that hasn’t deterred the sports betting community from putting Colorado as the favorite to win the championship in 2022.
As of Thursday, the Avs are listed at +500 odds — meaning a $100 bet would win $500 — to win it all, according to a number of sportsbooks, including BetMGM, DraftKings, Fox Bet and William Hill.
