It's never too early to start thinking about the Super Bowl.





And now that the draft is officially over, the books are open. While the defending champion New England Patriots have the best odds at 7-2, Raiders Nation can't be too disappointed either.





Things are looking good for our guys, if you ask Vegas.

Updated Super Bowl odds (via @BovadaLV):



Patriots: 7-2

Cowboys: 12-1

Falcons: 12-1

Packers: 12-1

Raiders: 12-1

Seahawks: 12-1 — Jon Machota (@jonmachota) May 3, 2017

At 12-1, the Raiders are clearly one of the favorites to win it all.





There are a few other teams, however, with the same odds. The Cowboys, Packers, Seahawks, and Falcons all have the same chance.





Still, that puts the Raiders at second in the AFC. That's pretty solid, considering how difficult it would be to jump ahead of the defending champs to begin with, especially the Patriots, who seem to have gotten even better this offseason.





​​​Even Marshawn Lynch isn't enough to put the Raiders ahead of the Pats. But, we're only talking on paper, of course. On the field is a totally different story.









Raiders fans have to be pretty happy with this.





It's been a long, long time since they've had a season with so much promise.
