Aaron Rodgers left four plays into his tenure as New York Jets quarterback, deflating MetLife Stadium and oddsmakers' outlook on the franchise's Super Bowl chances.
The Jets were 18-1 to win the Super Bowl before kickoff and dropped immediately to 34-1 at FanDuel as a signal of the shocking reversal of fortunes for the maligned franchise.
Rodgers attempted one pass, an incompletion, and left the game on a cart. He wore a protective boot on his left foot when entering the locker room for X-rays the team said were negative.
An MRI exam revealed a torn Achilles tendon. Rodgers is out for the season. The injury was reflected in odds shifts at nearly every sportsbook.
DraftKings dropped the Jets from the seventh-best odds (+1600 to +2800). BetMGM also had the Jets down from +1800 to +2800.
The Jets were also shifted from -130 to make the playoffs to +240.
PointsBet had not immediately adjusted Super Bowl futures and offered the Jets as Super Bowl champs at +1500.
MVP futures odds were off the board at multiple sportsbooks. Rodgers, a four-time MVP, won the award in 2020 and 2021 and had +1600 consensus odds entering Week 1 to capture the honor again this year.
