Super Bowl predictions Kansas City Chiefs

The first four weeks of the NFL season are now behind us, which means there are just 19 weeks until the Super Bowl is here. The Super Bowl odds have shifted dramatically since Week 1, and now is the perfect time to lock in your Super Bowl picks. Six teams have +1000 or shorter odds, while there is one long shot that must be locked in immediately.

Buffalo Bills +440

The Bills are the outright Super Bowl frontrunners after their AFC rivals began to show cracks in the early stages of the season. Josh Allen continues to play at an MVP level, and now has -105 odds to win the award for a second straight season. While Allen would love to add another personal accolade to the mantle, there is no doubt his primary focus is on bringing a Super Bowl to Buffalo.

Josh Allen can truly do it all. His accuracy is often overshadowed by his physical attributes, but Allen is a very capable passer when given time in the pocket. He spreads the ball among his receivers nicely and isn’t afraid to tuck the ball and run for a first down if the opportunity presents itself. One of the things that separates Allen from other star quarterbacks is his willingness to take a hit. Allen rarely slides in the open field and instead looks to put his head down and truck through defenders. He has yet to get seriously injured during his NFL career and has shown incredible durability for the most fragile position.

However, the Bills are an incomplete roster outside of Allen’s heroics. Their offensive line still needs work, while their skill positions lack any real superstar talent. Allen can make players like Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman look good, but the Bills don’t have any receivers inside the top 30 in the league on skill alone. On defense, Buffalo isn’t the dominant force it once was and is a few injuries away from being really exposed. Their secondary gets routinely exposed with deep balls over the top, and Buffalo has to rely on Allen to bail out their defensive lapses. That will work in the regular season, but winning three or four straight playoff games with a questionable defense is a whole different story. Buffalo could go on to reach and win the Super Bowl, but the value isn’t there at +440. You can wait for a better price when they eventually lose, but they are a hard pass at this stage of the season.

Philadelphia Eagles +600

The Philadelphia Eagles play a unique brand of football that others have tried to replicate. Their physicality in the lines is fun to watch, and they have proven unstoppable in third or fourth-and-short situations. While the AJ Brown drama has been a distraction, the reality is this team is still undefeated and should have odds closer to the Bills.

On offense, Philadelphia managed to retain its starters from last year and has another season to build chemistry heading into the playoffs. Saquon Barkley is one of the best running backs in the league, while the receiving duo of Brown and DeVonta Smith is an effective one-two punch. Once you add in Hurts’ ability to pick up first downs with his legs, Tush Push or otherwise, this is a very difficult offense to slow down.
The Eagles lost key veterans on the defensive side of the ball, but their rookies have stepped up nicely. Cooper DeJean made headlines with his Super Bowl pick-six, and Jihaad Campbell is already looking like the next great linebacker in Philadelphia. This team has a clear shot to the bye in the NFC and has taken down three straight playoff teams since beating the Cowboys on the opening day of the season. A soft upcoming schedule will only shrink these odds further, and now is the perfect time to buy on the reigning champions.

Detroit Lions +900

The Lions are 18-4 since the start of last season, and continue to roll out the best offense in the league. One disastrous playoff game against the Washington Commanders has shifted the public’s opinion on this team, and they offer tons of value at +900.

The offensive weapons Jared Goff has to play with are truly remarkable. Amon-Ra St.Brown and Jameson Williams are both elite, while Sam LaPorta is one of the most reliable tight ends in the league. You will be hard-pressed to find a better running back duo than Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, and the Lions currently lead the league with 137 points through the first four games.

This season, the difference is that the Lions have managed to stay healthy on defense. Countless injuries to the Lions' defensive starters disrupted their 15-2 season, but they are looking just as good on defense as they are on offense. Aidan Hutchinson has his eyes set on the DPOY award, while the Detroit secondary can handle man-on-man coverage. This is a team built for a deep playoff run, and I find it hard to imagine any other two NFC teams in the conference championship. At +900, there are valid arguments that the Lions are the best Super Bowl pick to make at this stage of the season.

Green Bay Packers +950

The Packers’ Super Bowl odds are incredibly inflated since acquiring Micah Parsons, and haven’t gone down despite a pair of poor showings since the trade. A loss to the Browns and a tie against the Cowboys will dent the Packers' divisional hopes in a competitive NFC North. Their offense fell asleep against Cleveland, while their defense completely fell apart against Dallas. They have begun to show cracks on both sides of the ball, and this team is still one more season away from being a legitimate contender. Jordan Love isn’t anything special at quarterback, and the Packers don’t have any clear-cut WR1 for Love to hone in on. What was supposed to be a dominant defense has fallen apart at the worst times possible in recent weeks, and the Packers have a difficult second half on the schedule. A couple of easy matchups in the coming weeks could help this team build confidence again, but the Packers are an easy fade when you can get the Lions at nearly the same price.

Kansas City Chiefs +950

This is the longest the Chiefs' Super Bowl odds have been in the last few seasons, and it could be the time to buy at +950. Patrick Mahomes is still the best quarterback in the league, and the Chiefs' defense has started to bounce back after a poor start to the season. The fact that Kansas City was able to dismantle the Ravens without Rashee Rice says a lot about where this offense is heading. The lack of a run game in Kansas City has put the ball in the hands of Mahomes more often, and he has started to get used to his heavier workload. His accuracy and decision-making have never been a question, and the Chiefs have continued to solidify the offensive line that protects him. A scary 0-2 start has been reversed, and the Chiefs look as though they are back on track to win their tenth straight AFC West title. I am truthfully on the fence on whether now is the best time to buy on the Chiefs after their Ravens win. Their upcoming matchup against the Jaguars will tell us a lot about this team, and I would hold off on any Chiefs bets for another week or two.

Baltimore Ravens +1000

The Ravens are 1-3 to start the season, and are now being forced to deal with a Lamar Jackson injury. I do not doubt that this is one of the best teams in the league, but making the playoffs will no longer be a formality if the Ravens don’t turn things around quickly. There are Pro Bowl talents all over this roster, and they should theoretically be piling up easy wins with a superstar quarterback in Lamar Jackson. However, their once dominant defensive unit has been one of the worst in the league this season. There wasn’t too much turnover on the Ravens’ roster, and it is only a matter of time before this team starts winning football games. Their defense has a chance to step up when they need to with Jackson on the bench, and the upcoming stretch of games will not make life easy for Baltimore. If they start to turn things around, they could easily climb into the +500 range in the coming weeks, making a small bet at +1000 a worthwhile investment.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers +3000

The Buccaneers have the 12th-shortest Super Bowl odds at +3000. However, there is a lot to like about this team, and this is a price that could quickly get slashed if they keep playing the way they have been. Baker Mayfield has many of the same attributes as Josh Allen and just needs to work on his pocket passing to climb into the next tier of NFL quarterbacks. The return of Tristan Wirfs from injury will help him stay upright, and there is no shortage of pass catchers for Mayfield to aim at in Tampa Bay. Chris Godwin is back from injury, Emeka Egbuka has been excellent in his rookie season, and Mike Evans will be back in a few weeks. The Buccaneers don’t only find success through the air, as Bucky Irving has been unstoppable in the backfield. Irving has a unique blend of agility and physicality for Tampa Bay, and is the perfect Swiss Army knife for Todd Bowles to make the most of. The Tampa Bay defense is also a strong unit, and has been able to bend and not break when the Buccaneers start to fall behind. Once you factor in that the Buccaneers are in the worst division in football, this +3000 price tag is really nice for a team that will get a home playoff game.
