Super Bowl 55 approaches, and it’s another one without the Detroit Lions. No one is surprised by this, of course. The Lions are just one of four franchises to never appear in a Super Bowl.

Though things seem to be in rebuilding mode for the 2021 season, can a miracle happen? Do the Detroit Lions have a chance to appear in Super Bowl 56?
The 2021 Super Bowl featuring the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs is a week away. But some Michigan online sportsbooks have lined up odds for the 2022 Super Bowl. And oddsmakers aren’t feeling very confident in the new-look Lions to shock the world in 2022.
Detroit Lions Odds to Win Super Bowl The NFL has not been good to the Detroit Lions at all in the last few decades. The team has not picked up a division win since the 1993 season, and has struggled to post winning seasons on a regular basis. The Rams’ odds to win next year’s Super Bowl surged after the trade at several sports books, while the Lions’ odds sank. The Rams had been at 18/1 to win next year’s Super Bowl, which.
(UPDATE: The Lions traded Matthew Stafford late on Saturday night to the Los Angeles Rams for quarterback Jared Goff and a slew of picks, including two first-rounders. Check out how the Super Bowl odds adjusted below.)
Detroit Lions odds for Super Bowl 56
| Detroit Lions Super Bowl 56 Odds | DraftKings | William Hill | BetMGM | PointsBet |

The Lions are among the NFL teams with the longest odds to win Super Bowl 56. A majority of MI sportsbooks are listing the Lions at +8000 to win the championship next season. Only William Hill has the Lions with greater odds at +10000.
Only the New York Jets, Houston Texans, and Jacksonville Jaguars are deemed to have longer odds than the Lions to win it all.
The Lions, Cleveland Browns, Texans, and Jaguars are the only teams to never appear in the Super Bowl.

Lions starting over with new management, coach
Odds For Lions To Win Super Bowl Win
If you bet on the Lions, keep in mind that the team is in restart mode. In fact, it’s already been a busy offseason for the Detroit Lions just about a month into the process.
During the season, Matt Patricia and Bob Quinn were fired as coach and general manager, respectively. On Jan. 14, the Lions hiredBrad Holmes to be the new general manager. Holmes was the Los Angeles Rams college scouting director prior to joining the Lions.
The organization also brought in former linebacker Chris Spielman to help in the front office. He joined owner Sheila Ford Hamp, president Rod Wood, and Holmes in hiring Dan Campbell as the new head coach.
Campbell, a former Lions player, and former Assistant Head Coach of the New Orleans Saints had a memorable opening press conference.

Despite his unproven coaching record and verbose personality, Campbell put together quite a coaching staff.
Who will replace QB Matthew Stafford?
Despite all the changes to the coaching staff, the biggest news of the offseason could be the end of the Matthew Stafford-era in Detroit.

Last week it was reported that Stafford and the Lions agreed to part ways, and the two will be ending their relationship after 12 seasons together.
Stafford is the franchise leader in nearly every major career passing category. He has thrown for 45,109 yards and 282 touchdowns over his career. Stafford also led the Lions to three playoff appearances, but never recorded a playoff win or division championship.
A trade of Stafford likely lands the Lions some important NFL Draft stock for 2021. It could also force Detroit into selecting a quarterback with their No. 7 pick.
Mel Kiper of ESPN has the Lions selecting Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields in his first mock draft.
Are the Detroit Lions worth a Super Bowl bet?
Along with the Stafford news and the new coaching staff, the Lions have other questions. Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones Jr. are both free agents this offseason, leaving Detroit without any proven receivers currently part of the 2021-22 roster.
On paper, it certainly seems like the Lions have an uphill fight in 2021. Despite that, the risk of betting on Detroit is very low. The reward could be very high.
Just a $1 wager on the Lions to win would provide a payout of $81. A $100 wager would lead to $8,100. In other words, a small bet could go a long way… if you believe the Lions will roar to the top of the NFL standings.
