The Miami Dolphins’ decision to send multiple draft picks to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for a playmaker in wide receiver Tyreek Hill improved their odds as Super Bowl contenders.

Caesars Sportsbook in Las Vegas now lists the Dolphins at 50-1 to win this year’s Super Bowl compared to the 70-1 odds prior to the reported Hill trade.

And just reaching the Super Bowl as AFC champions is listed at 25-1 with Caesars, which is up from 35-1 before the trade. Odds to win the division are also improved, according to Caesars’ odds.

The Chiefs, meanwhile, saw their odds drop as Super Bowl champions from 8.5-1 to 9-1 and AFC champs from 4-1 to 5-1.
