Most Steelers fans and draft analysts were pleased with the team’ haul during the 2019 NFL Draft, particularly with the move to trade up in the first round and select Michigan linebacker Devin Bush with the No. 10 overall pick.

But the bookmakers seem less impressed.

According to odds released on Monday, the Steelers have 25/1 odds to win Super Bowl LIV in 2020 — the exact same figure that the team had in late March.

The odds-on favorite to win the Lombardi Trophy is New England at 8/1, which has also not changed since before the draft.

The Los Angeles Rams’ odds shortened from 10/1 to 9/1 to put them alone in the second spot. Kansas City and New Orleans both had odds lengthen to 10/1.

Cleveland is unchanged at 14/1 and is joined there by the Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles, which were both previously at 16/1. The Chicago moved from 14/1 to 16/1, where they joined the static Indianapolis Colts.

The Steelers are in a large group at 25/1 that also contains Dallas, Green Bay, Houston, Minnesota and San Francisco.
