WWE Elimination Chamber: Odds Predict Bryan to Win

The Elimination Chamber pay-per-view goes this Sunday from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas and bettings odds on the card were released on Thursday. As always, we’ve got the odds and some analysis for you here at Odds Shark. 

Introduced in 2002, the Elimination Chamber structure has undergone some renovations and alterations through the years but remains one of the top attractions on the WWE calendar, mostly due to its sheer size and unforgiving steel composition. 

Without big names like Brock Lesnar, Charlotte Flair, Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch on the card and Ronda Rousey as a -5000 favorite in her match, the biggest attractions will be the two Chamber matches. Let’s break down the card below:

Men’s Elimination Chamber 

Daniel Bryan is a -600 favorite to retain his title through the Elimination Chamber match and continue on the road to WrestleMania as the WWE World Champion. Seeing anyone as such a large favorite in a multi-competitor match like this makes me believe that the result has been leaked. 

I think Bryan is just getting going with this championship run and building on the “new Daniel Bryan” character. I foresee him holding on to the belt until at least WrestleMania with this match as a potential beginning to a program until then. 

Men’s Elimination Chamber Betting Props

So if the result of the match seems to be locked up, can we find some value in this match through props? Absolutely we can. 

Firstly, Kofi Kingston got the wrestling world very excited with his performance at the gauntlet match on the most recent edition of Smackdown and we know WWE loves to recreate things that organically got the crowd excited – again, and again, and again and again. 

That leads me to believe that Kofi may go on a run in the Chamber match to get the crowd fired up before inevitably losing. That’s why Kofi for the most eliminations at +1400 is definitely worth a look. I certainly like Kofi OVER 0.5 eliminations at +120 and will be making that play myself.

They also like to make Samoa Joe look like a monster in these matches, so it’s possible he may be a good look at +200 for most eliminations and -160 for OVER 0.5 eliminations is a decent bet if you don’t mind the juice. 

Women’s Tag Team Elimination Chamber

Finally, the women’s division will get its long overdue tag team championship belts that we have been impatiently waiting for. Personally, I think the writers have been setting Bayley and Sasha up to be the first ever women’s tag team champs and the odds reflect that below. Unfortunately there are currently no prop bets available for the women’s match, but if they are released, we will update this section.

Rest of the Card

As for the rest of the Elimination Chamber card, there’s not much there in the way of betting value. Most favorites are price prohibitive, which in a scripted event makes taking a flyer on an underdog not so much of a smart play. But, in the event that you’re inclined, you can find the odds below.
