Of course, we are not going to look closely at each team. There may be some dark horses for the 2024 Super Bowl that are just being overlooked.
However, given everything we know right now, let’s take a closer look at the teams with the best odds to win Super Bowl LVIII.
major, +600
It should surprise no one that the Chiefs have one of the slimmest chances ever to win next year’s Super Bowl. It almost doesn’t matter what Kansas City does in free agency or the draft; They still have Patrick Mahomes.
In 2022, the Chiefs had a diminished receiving corps without Tyreek Hill, a mediocre rushing attack, and solid but unspectacular defense, and yet Mahomes led them to a Super Bowl. Why should next year be any different, even with issues to be addressed at wide receiver and offensive line this offseason?
Think of it this way, the Chiefs have played in three of the last four Super Bowls and have been in the AFC Championship Game for five straight seasons. Worse, they have a one-in-four chance to win the Super Bowl again, and with Mahomes the chances are probably even better than that.
Bill, +850
In a sense, the Bills finally winning the Super Bowl seems inevitable. On the other hand, he hasn’t made much progress in 2022 and could see his window closing.
There are also some big pieces on the Buffalo defense — Tremaine Edmonds and Jordan Poyer — who are free agents this year. The good news is that all of the key players on offense are under contract.
The Bills should have one of the most dynamic offenses in the NFL behind Josh Allen. But they still need to strengthen the defense and add depth to their roster if they are going to get over the hump and win the Super Bowl.
Eagles, +900
Traditionally, Super Bowl losers don’t always do well the following year. Just look at the Rams in 2022.
However, Philadelphia was arguably the best team in the NFL during the regular season in 2022. Furthermore, all of the goaltenders who helped Jalen Hurts have a breakout season are under contract through 2023.
That should put him among the NFC’s elite teams next season. However, more than half of Philadelphia’s defensive starters are going to be free agents this year. It is work at all three levels of defense that played a lesser role in getting the Eagles to the Super Bowl last season.
Bengals, +900
Three years into his career, we should know to never count out Joe Burrows and the Bengals. A Cincinnati team that has appeared in the last two AFC Championship Games, not only does Burrow have some of the most cap flexibility in the offseason.
Granted, there will be changes this offseason, as the secondary and backfield need to be rebuilt somewhat. But the Bengals have an elite collection of Bills and receivers. More importantly, there is still room for improvement, which is why the Bengals are still a serious Super Bowl contender.
49ers, +900
Considering how little we know about Trey Lance as an NFL quarterback, San Francisco’s Super Bowl odds are surprisingly low. Kyle Shanahan, on the other hand, has led the 49ers to the NFC Championship game three times in the last four years.
They did it last season with Brock Purdy, who could still factor into the equation at quarterback in 2023. Quarterbacks aside, it’s hard not to like San Francisco’s talent offensively with Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, George Kittel and others.
Plus, even with a handful of guys hitting free agency, the 49ers are still going to have one of the best defenses in the NFL next season, meaning they’ll once again be a dependable contender in the NFC. There will be contenders.
Cowboys, +1500
With limited salary cap flexibility in the offseason, the Cowboys have some tough decisions to make and a lot of work ahead of them.
But we’ve seen enough of Dak Prescott over the years to know that he makes the Cowboys a dark horse. Keep in mind that the Dallas defense is led by Micah Parsons, so they have star power on both sides of the ball to make the Cowboys a threat in the NFC that remains wide open.
Ravens, +1600
Obviously, Baltimore’s Super Bowl hopes are tied to Lamar Jackson. If he is back with the Ravens in 2023 and can stay healthy for the entire season, Baltimore is capable of winning a Super Bowl.
Granted, the rest of the roster isn’t perfect. But most of his starters from the NFL’s third-ranked defense are under contract. Keep in mind that the Ravens had gone 10-7 and Jackson had missed the last six games. If he’s back and healthy, don’t count out Baltimore.
best bet
If you are planning to place future bets based on the opening Super Bowl LVIII odds, then Kansas City is the best option.
As mentioned, the odds are favorable that the Chiefs will at least reach the conference championship game, and the same cannot be said of a lot of teams.
Mahomes is still only 27 years old and is at the peak of his career. If he is indeed destined to one day surpass Tom Brady as the all-time great, he is bound to win back-to-back Super Bowls at some point.
Even with some other excellent teams in the AFC ready to give the Chiefs trouble, they are still the best bet to win Super Bowl LVIII, especially if you can catch them with +600 odds.
