The Redskins defied the odds to get to make the playoffs after a 3-6 start, and they’ll have to continue doing so in order to win the Super Bowl.
The good folks at Bovada.lv have Washington as 3-point underdogs against Seattle for Sunday’s wild card round game at FedEx Field.
The Redskins are 18/1 odds to win the Super Bowl, the eighth-most likely out of the 12 playoff teams. Consider they were 300/1 during the bye week when Washington was a week removed from falling to 3-6. Bovada did take a $300 bet on the Redskins when the odds were at their longest, a spokesman said.
