Jeffery Simmons Trade by Bears Makes Big Impact With Gambling World

The Bears’ trade for defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons has moved their Super Bowl odds into the top tier, according to BetMGM. After a 5-2 start that followed a 30-1 opening price, BetMGM lists Chicago tied for third-best odds at +1000 to win it all, behind Buffalo (+550) and San Francisco (+600). The Bears are also tied with Seattle, Kansas City and Jacksonville. BetMGM had Chicago at +1400 before the Simmons move, making it a noticeable jump in market perception. The report notes their ranking remains lower than expected within the NFC North, where they’re behind the Lions on divisional tiebreaker and trail Minnesota by a game, and suggests a win Monday night in Seattle could reinforce momentum.
