ATLANTA — The NFL regular season hasn't even begum, and thousands of sports fans are already talking Super Bowl LIII.
A lot of national sports writers think the Atlanta Falcons have a good shot at playing in the Big Game, but the sports bettors in Vegas - they have some unusual ideas.
The headlines that have come out in the last month - from USA TODAY to the upcoming Sports Illustrated - show the Falcons beating the Chargers to the Steelers.
But then, sports bettors are putting their money on the Browns - MGM Sports Book said the Browns have better odds of winning the Super Bowl than the Falcons. Yeah. The Browns. The team that didn't even win a single game last year.
The Browns haven't made the playoffs in 15 years - or 5,700 days. George W. Bush was in his first term as president and Eminem's "Lose Yourself" was the top song of the charts.
But sure... they have a great chance of winning the Super Bowl this year.
To be fair, many people believe there is a Super Bowl curse - no team has ever played in the Super Bowl they are hosting.
But seriously?
You don't have to be on the Falcons, but if you honestly think the Browns have a better shot at winning Super Bowl LIII --- well.
