Veteran quarterback Tom Brady announced Sunday night that he would be returning to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a 23rd season, which had significant implications on the team's Super Bowl betting odds.
The Buccaneers now are tied for the third-best odds to win the title, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. However, bettors at several Las Vegas Sportsbooks saw an influx of bets for Tampa Bay to win the Super Bowl just days before Brady announced he would be returning.
The Buccaneers were considered a long shot to win the Lombardi Trophy at 50-1 on Thursday, but bets worth more than $10,000 were placed at the SuperBook, South Point and Circa Sports, according to ESPN's David Purdum.
