The NFL playoffs are the center of attention at the moment, but it is very clear this is going to be an incredible offseason. This could be the year of the quarterback as the NFL draft and the free-agent market will be loaded with talent. All eyes are currently on Deshaun Watson and where he will play next, but there is another quarterback that is worth watching.

Win totals adjusted

Now that the Stafford trade is official, the future NFL win total for the Lions and the Rams have been adjusted accordingly.

Update Jan 31, 2021

Stafford traded to the Rams

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is heading to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for quarterback Jared Goff and a multitude of draft picks, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Saturday night.

The Lions will receive a third-round pick in 2021, a first-round pick in 2022, and a first-round pick in 2023 in what is the first exchange of former No. 1 overall pick in the common draft era (since 1967). The deal cannot be made official until the start of the new league year on March 17.

At one point the Rams were +1000 to trade for Stafford. Following news of the trade, the Rams’ Super Bowl odds for the 2021 season moved from +1800 to +1500 at sportsbooks.

Trade Coming Soon

The Lions are very active in trade talks with multiple teams and it’s going to happen sooner than later.

Talked to Dan Campbell this morning. He said trade talks for Matthew Stafford have gotten “hot and heavy,” and he outlined his vision for the Lions’ future QB. You’ll be happy to know the Lions are taking a long-term approach to this rebuild https://t.co/FFflM9T5Y8 via @freep

It may be as early as next week as many sources indicate the trade will go down before the Super Bowl.

The interest is significant. Expect a trade before the Super Bowl https://t.co/6dvbRxKQUL

New Team Seeking Stafford?

A few days ago the Colts were the favorite to get Matthew Stafford. Then the 49ers became the favorite and a few people suggested, it was a good bet.

Bookie Blitz on Twitter: “I agree 👇 Going to lock in the #49ers at +400 now. 👍” / Twitter

Then another team jumped into the mix and changed everything. To make matters worse for the 49ers that team is the LA Rams.

Sources: Matthew Stafford considers the Rams a viable contender in his trade market with the Lions. While it’s unclear what the Rams can do with Jared Goff’s long-term deal on the books, they’ve explored the possibilities with Stafford.

The source is Stafford! This may indicate that it is his preferred landing spot. That may make Colts and 49ers fans very nervous. The Rams rift with Jared Goff is very public, so it makes sense.

But what about the odds? It depends on where you look. When the odds opened, the Rams were set at +1000 (or 10-to-1) to get Stafford, but that has changed.

But if you believe that the Rams will actually get Stafford, there is still one sportsbook that is offering those high odds that you will want to bet on now. 

Update Jan 29, 2021

The Colts are still hoping that they are in the race for the services of Matthew Stafford, but all signs are pointing to the 49ers becoming his new team. Yesterday the odds shifted dramatically to San Francisco and the news wire is heating up.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say Matthew Stafford will be a 49er by the end of the day today 🔮 https://t.co/u4iYfa4jMz

— Adam Koffler (@AdamKoffler) January 29, 2021

There are ways to bet on Stafford’s next destination and make money, even though the popular pick is San Francisco. One sportsbook still has the 49ers listed at +400 to join the team.

Or if you think he will still be on the Colts you can buy in here at a nice price.

Update Jan 28, 2021

The hot QB right now is not Deshaun Watson, it’s actually the Lions QB Matthew Stafford. Although there is plenty of speculation on where he will land. The latest odds show that he has picked his team. Detroit will have plenty of options.

Fans of the Colts are getting excited and they believe that it is only a matter of time before Stafford joins Indianapolis.

Based off Irsay’s comments today, plus #Colts now being known as Stafford’s preferred destination, feels like we’re on a collision course to No. 9 being Indy’s new franchise quarterback very soon.

#ColtsNation

I think I saw this on here but just to reiterate. Everyone apparently wants #Stafford2Indy@MikePitt_Jr went to Michigan for vacation & posted on Instagram. He got a lot of Stafford comments & as you can see…

Unfortunately Indianapolis, Stafford is not going to play for the Colts. The latest odds suggest that he is heading West and joining the San Francisco 49ers. 

Update Jan 27,2021

The quarterback market is evolving and changing almost every day with new names being added to the list. However, Stafford is getting some serious interest.

From @GMFB: A look at QBs who could be on the move, with #Rams QB Jared Goff entering the fray, the #Lions getting immediate and significant interest and calls on Matthew Stafford over the weekend, and teams still calling the #Texans on Deshaun Watson. pic.twitter.com/ttLc7iFXHq

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 27, 2021

The 49ers are rising as contenders to bring Stafford to the bay area and at some sportsbooks, the odds are changing.

#49ers odds to land Matt Stafford are now better than yesterday and now they’re the clear favorite.

SF is +350 and DEN is +425.

Vegas know something???

— Akash Anavarathan (@akashanav) January 27, 2021

If you think the 49ers get Stafford the best return on your bet is +400 and that can be found right here. However, must sport betting sites still have the Colts as the favorite to get Stafford.

Update Jan 26, 2021

Teams already are reaching out to the Detroit Lions to initiate trade talks and figure out what it would take to acquire QB Matthew Stafford, per sources.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) January 26, 2021

That didn’t take long. Once it was announced that the Lions and Stafford were parting ways, the 49ers jumped to the front of the line as favorites to get the QB. That has changed and it changed in a very big way.  The odds show that both the Colts and the Patriots are going after Stafford as the 49ers are falling back from the pack. [BET NOW]

Update Jan 25, 2001

The race for Stafford according to some, is down to just three teams. The sports betting odds on where Stafford will play next year tend to agree.

“The Patriots have cap space, count them in on Matthew Stafford.

I think it’s a 3 team race. (Colts, Patriots, Broncos)”

Matthew Stafford Odds

So what team will get Stafford? If you look at the latest odds, the Colts are the favorites. This makes sense because Phillip Rivers retired and The Colts are ready to win now. Here are the latest odds on the next landing spot for Matthew Stafford.

49ers – +250 [BET NOW]

Colts +300 [BET NOW]

Broncos +350 [BET NOW]

Washington Football Team +500 [BET NOW]

Panthers +750 [BET NOW]

Saints +1500 [BET NOW]

Texans +2000 [BET NOW]

There are a few teams that did not make this list that may make some noise in the near future. Keep an eye on the LA Rams and the Atlanta Falcons.

Matthew Stafford Predictions

The Colts are the easy pick. Everywhere you look everyone believes that will be his preferred destination, but there is another team that is worth watching and that is the 49ers. They are the favorites and they are one-piece away from putting a Super Bowl team on the field. If I had to bet today, I would bet on the 49ers (+250) to sign Stafford.
