The city that will host the Raiders in the near future is changing its opinion of the 2019 edition of the squad after Sunday's news that Antonio Brown will be joining the Silver and Black.

Caesars Palace in Las Vegas dropped its odds of Oakland winning Super Bowl 54 from 75-1 to 50-1, Pro Football Talk and Bleacher Report reported.

The Raiders finished 4-12 last season under new/old coach Jon Gruden. 

PFT and B/R did not report on any change to the Steelers' odds. Vegasinsider.com had Pittsburgh listed at 20-1 before the Brown trade was reported (it also had the Raiders at 100-1).

The favorites in the futures market according to Vegasinsider.com are the Super Bowl champion Patriots and the Chiefs at 7-1 each.
