COVID’s Attack On The League
The surge in COVID-19 cases has taken a huge toll on the league with well over 300 total players testing positive for the virus. Along with players testing positive, different coaches around the league have also tested positive and missed games this season. Some of those coaches include Kevin Stefanski, Robert Saleh, and Nick Sirianni.
While some could make the argument that COVID could happen to anyone and that it could impact the players and coaches in the Super Bowl, it is hard seeing the NFL allow that to happen. The NFL recently reported that it would move the Super Bowl from Los Angeles to Dallas if the cases continue to rise.
If big named players and coaches test positive and are in jeopardy of missing the game, it is hard seeing the NFL ignore that meaning that the favored NFL odds on both lines are easy money.
An example of this would be the favorites to make it out of each conference, the Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers. It is safe to say that if either Patrick Mahomes or Aaron Rodgers were to enter COVID-19 protocols, the league would work to reschedule the game.
