After one of the most dramatic NFL free agency episodes in recent memory, the Baltimore Ravens have ultimately emerged with slightly improved odds to win the Super Bowl.

The Ravens were 11-1 for the league’s title at the beginning of March, then jumped to +950 and eventually +900 after they agreed to a trade for superstar defensive end Maxx Crosby. However, when the news broke that they had backed out of the deal, Baltimore lengthened back to +950, but returned to +900 after signing All-Pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson.
