Silver Minings: Raiders aren’t betting favorites to make playoffs

I know the Raiders won’t be Super Bowl contenders, but seriously?

Some odds were recently released, showing the longest odds for a team to reach the playoffs, and the Raiders are near the bottom. As of right now, only four teams have worse odds than Las Vegas to reach the playoffs.

This seems absolutely absurd to me. The Texans and Lions are going to be absolutely awful next season, and the Jets will be right behind them. Again, I get they won’t be competing for a Super Bowl (who knows) but I find it hard to believe only four teams will be worse than the Raiders in 2021.

What are your thoughts on these odds?
