After 15 years, the Green Bay Packers are set to enter a fresh chapter in the post-Aaron Rodgers era and welcome Jordan Love as their new starting quarterback for the 2023-2024 season.
And now, the Cheeseheads will face a dilemma. Should they trust that their latest franchise star, who has spent three years learning under Rodgers as the backup, has the ability to lead them to the promised land, or believe the Packers need to hit the reset button and begin an immediate rebuild around Love in a competitive NFC North division.
Currently, FanDuel lists the Packers Super Bowl odds as the 16th favorite with +4000 to win. The New York Jets are positioned as the 7th-favorites, boasting +1600 odds, to win the title. Who would ever predict that the Jets would have better chances of winning it all than the Packers at the beginning of the season? That is the Aaron Rodgers effect for you.
NFL Fanbases Who Bet The Most
For bettors nationwide, these odds offer enticing value as the Packers can potentially surprise the league with full force or either the revamped Jets deliver the glory to the Big Apple.
Either way, anticipate the fanbases of both teams to rally behind their respective sides and carry the handle percentage for Super Bowl tickets, considering that both teams have been ranked in the Top Ten NFL Fanbases that bet the most. But which other teams make this list?

Demand is Still High for the New-Look Packers
The Green Bay Packers fanbase has a sports betting user rate of 4%, tied with the Los Angeles Chargers, placing them among the top ten NFL fanbases that bet the most.
Despite being located in a state where online sports wagering is still not legally operating, the fact that the Packers maintain a significant sports betting following cements their status as one of America’s favorite and most popular teams.
Coming off an 8-9 record and a new signal-caller under center this season, the Green Bay Packers present bettors with solid reasons to back them. With multiple offensive weapons surrounding Love and a strong defensive secondary, it will contribute to the Packers’ rebound from a disappointing campaign and boost Green Bay in this specific ranking.
Joining this list also are the New York Giants and the New York Jets. The Giants lead all teams with a sports betting fan-user rate of 13%, while the Jets trail with a 5% user rate. This comes to no one’s surprise as they benefit from playing in New Jersey while being marketed as a New York team, which both states have legalized online sports betting.
