Updated Favorites Teams to Win Super Bowl LVII: Betting Odds and Analysis

Week 10 of the 2022 NFL regular season featured some insane finishes. The Minnesota Vikings came back from 17 down to beat the Buffalo Bills in overtime. Aaron Rodgers shouted at coach Matt LaFleur about play-calling choices, but the Packers still beat Dallas in overtime, erasing a 14-point deficit at the start of the fourth quarter. The Washington Commanders rode three takeaways and a crucial unnecessary roughness penalty in the waning minutes to beat Philadelphia at the Linc, ending the Eagles’ dreams of an unbeaten season. Did any of this affect the overall sports betting odds to win Super Bowl LVII? Check out the updated numbers as well as our thoughts about some of the top teams.

 

NFL News: Updated Odds to Win Super Bowl LVII

 

 

The Kansas City Chiefs are clicking on both sides of the ball right now. Patrick Mahomes is locked in as far as finding receivers down the field while avoiding turnovers, and the running game has Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon producing, even if Clyde Edwards-Helaire is taking a step back. They are a team that no one really would want to face, simply because of the fast starts they get off to.

The Philadelphia Eagles probably needed that loss on Sunday as a bit of a wake-up call. They will win the NFC East even after losing to Washington. Going into that Monday night game, Jalen Hurts had a 68.2% pass completion rate, almost seven points better than the rate he posted in 2021 (61.3%). That ranks sixth in the NFL right now, and he is definitely in the MVP conversation this season.

It’s odd to see the Minnesota Vikings above the Green Bay Packers in this list, but their comeback win in Buffalo should have brought people around to the fact that this team is elite. Their defense is not outstanding, but it gets stops when it needs to. Kirk Cousins has spent a career throwing backbreaking interceptions just after leading his team to the brink of greatness, but he did not blink in that duel with Josh Allen. Could this really be the Vikings’ year?

Speaking of the Buffalo Bills, did you really think they would follow up a blown 11-point lead in New York with a blown 17-point lead at home? I didn’t either. However, they are 2-9 in one-score games since the start of 2021. That includes a pair of huge comeback wins over Baltimore and Kansas City this season, but it also includes the nonsense the last two weeks. A team that can’t finish games won’t get to the Super Bowl, no matter where they show up on this odds list.

Want a dark horse? Look no further than the Cincinnati Bengals. They rolled to the Super Bowl last year behind the ice-cold veins of Joe Burrow, and the offensive line is even better this year. The team had some hiccups in the early part of the season, but after losing an outlier in Week 1 (and doing it in overtime because they lost their deep snapper) and losing a squeaker in Week 2 in Dallas, they are 5-2, with a big win over Miami. That loss at Cleveland was ugly, but they followed it up by routing Carolina. They come out of the bye with a chance to get revenge in Pittsburgh, and the games after that – at Tennessee, Kansas City, Cleveland, at Tampa Bay, at New England, Buffalo and Baltimore – offer no easy targets. We will know a lot more about this team in four weeks.
