Now that the Denver Broncos are Super Bowl 50 Champions, oddsmakers are already looking ahead to Super Bowl 51. The Detroit Lions are predictable longshots.

What are the odds Detroit Lions fans finally get to see a sight like this?

Not so good, as you probably guessed.

The folks at MyTopSportsbooks.com have already released their odds to win Super Bowl 51 and the Lions check in as part of a five-team group at 50-1 odds. Just eight teams feature worse odds.

Early Odds to Win Super Bowl 51:
Carolina Panthers: 15/2
Seattle Seahawks: 8/1
New England Patriots: 9/1
Pittsburgh Steelers: 9/1
Arizona Cardinals: 10/1
Green Bay Packers: 12/1
Cincinnati Bengals: 12/1
Denver Broncos: 14/1
Dallas Cowboys: 16/1
Kansas City Chiefs: 22/1
Minnesota Vikings: 22/1
Baltimore Ravens: 30/1
Indianapolis Colts: 30/1
New York Jets: 30/1
Atlanta Falcons: 35/1
Buffalo Bills: 40/1
New York Giants: 40/1
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 40/1
Washington Redskins: 40/1
Chicago Bears: 50/1
Detroit Lions: 50/1
Houston Texans: 50/1
Miami Dolphins: 50/1
New Orleans Saints: 50/1
Oakland Raiders: 55/1
Los Angeles Rams: 55/1
Philadelphia Eagles: 60/1
San Diego Chargers: 60/1
Jacksonville Jaguars: 70/1
Tennessee Titans: 80/1
San Francisco 49ers: 80/1
Cleveland Browns: 120/1

OK, so odds aren’t good the Lions will win the next Super Bowl. But for a franchise that has never even appeared in a Super Bowl, how about just getting there? That’s not looking so good either. At 30-1, oddsmakers see just four teams less likely to win the NFC.

Odds on which team will win the NFC:
Carolina Panthers: 3/1
Seattle Seahawks: 4/1
Arizona Cardinals: 6/1
Green Bay Packers: 7/1
Dallas Cowboys: 9/1
Minnesota Vikings: 12/1
Atlanta Falcons: 15/1
Washington Redskins: 20/1
New York Giants: 25/1
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 25/1
Chicago Bears: 30/1
Detroit Lions: 30/1
New Orleans Saints: 40/1
Los Angeles Rams: 50/1
Philadelphia Eagles: 50/1
San Francisco 49ers: 60/1

Next: Detroit Lions offseason 2016: Looking ahead to free agency

There is a lot to play out before the 2016 Detroit Lions actually play a game. Calvin Johnson appears to be heavily leaning towards retiring but has yet to make a announcement, then comes free agency and the 2016 NFL Draft. Hopefully the Lions’ odds start looking a lot better as the 2016 season approaches.
