Super Bowl 53 is in the books, and the New England Patriots are once again Super Bowl champions. They aren't, however, favored to win next year's big game. That distinction goes to the Kansas City Chiefs, who were given 6-1 odds of becoming the NFL champions at the end of next season, according to Las Vegas Super Book.
The Patriots, along with the team they beat on Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams, and the New Orleans Saints, are listed with 8-1 odds.
So where do the San Francisco 49ers rank on the list? You have to go down to the No. 20 spot to see the Bay Area team listed with 50-1 odds.
The 49ers finished the 2018 season with just four wins but were devasted by injuries, including losing starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and new featured running back Jerick McKinnon to season-ending torn ACLs. Both are expected to be healthy in time for the start of the 2019 season.
That other Bay Area team, the Oakland Raiders, were given 100-1 odds to be Super Bowl champions while the Miami Dolphins have the worst odds at 300-1.

Donte Whitner believes 49ers were dealt a bad hand during Super Bowl
One former San Francisco 49ers player is making his opinion of Super Bowl 58 very clear. He believes his former team was dealt a bad hand in the matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in Las Vegas two months ago.
Former 49ers safety Donte Whitner, appearing this week on the "Up & Adam" show with Kay Adams, was vocal regarding the matchup and how certain circumstances seemed to favor the Chiefs.
"And when we think about the Super Bowl as well, I think that the 49ers played against the refs as well, guys," Whitner told Adams. "I think that when we look at that film and you see bear hugs on those defensive ends, right? And you really see it in blatant moments in the game."
Adams couldn't help but laugh at Whitner's comments, and the former player
