Super Bowl Favorites
Kansas City Chiefs (+600)
They have made key moves to strengthen their team and ensure a successful postseason run. For starters, they extended the offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor’s contract for four years, drafted Wanya Morris from Oklahoma to further bolster the offensive line, and added an intriguing wide receiver in Rashee Rice.
Philadelphia Eagles (+800)
They’ve kept their core players, including Fletcher Cox, James Bradberry, Brandon Graham, and Travis Kelce, and extended the contract of quarterback Jalen Hurts. On top of that, the Eagles bolstered their run game by drafting two top defensive linemen from Georgia, acquiring D’Andre Swift through a trade, and signing Rashaad Penny for added depth in the backfield.
Buffalo Bills (+900)
The Buffalo Bills (+900) have been making significant moves this off-season to bolster their offense. They brought in experienced guard Connor McGovern, picked up running backs Damien Harris and Latavius Murray in the draft, and selected guard O’Cyrus Torrence.
Cincinnati Bengals (+1000)
They have made some moves to strengthen their defense, with the signing of former Chiefs left tackle Orlando Brown to a four-year deal. The Bengals also used the draft to replace safeties Jessie Bates and Von Bell.
San Francisco 49ers (+1000)
After trading for quarterback Sam Darnold, they now have three quarterbacks to choose from in camp – Brock Purdy, Trey Lance, and Sam Darnold. The Niners’ skill players are some of the most dangerous in the league, with Deebo Samuel, Christian McCaffrey, and George Kittle leading the way.
Dallas Cowboys (+1400)
Under new Offensive Coordinator Jason Garrett, the Cowboy’s offense is set to look drastically different from previous seasons. They used draft money to acquire WR Stephon Gillmore and added potential defensive stars in LB DeMarvion Overshown and DT Mazi Smith.
New York Jets (+1600)
After signing Aaron Rodgers as their starting quarterback, the team has seen their odds jump from +2500 to +1400, signaling they may have what it takes to contend for a title this year.
Baltimore Ravens (+1800)
Lamar Jackson, who settled for the highest salary in the league after a lengthy contract fight, now has Odell Beckham Jr. and youngster Zay Flowers to pass to.
Super Bowl Contenders
Detroit Lions (+2200)
They added cornerbacks CJ Gardner-Johnson and Emmanuel Moseley and selected Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs with the 12th overall pick to take the position of Jamaal Williams and D’Andre Swift. With these changes and a solid conclusion to last season’s campaign, Detroit Lions Super Bowl LVIII odds look very good.
Jacksonville Jaguars (+2500)
With the return of quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the acquisition of offensive tackle Anton Harrison to protect him after a tremendous Doug Pederson’s second half-time lead, many are hopeful that this will be the year that the Jaguars break out.
LA Chargers (+2500)
With new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore calling the shots, the Chargers look in good hands. Under Moore’s direction, Austin Ekeler has blossomed into one of the most dynamic running backs in the NFL, and Moore should be urging the front office to pay him so that he reconsiders his trade request.
Miami Dolphins (+2500)
With the addition of Jalen Ramsey, they have bolstered their defense and added another critical piece to an already strong unit. They also acquired backup quarterback Mike White to support Tua Tagovailoa if he is injured this season.
Cleveland Browns (+2800)
They’ve improved their game in every area, starting with the defensive line, where they added Ogbonnia Okoronkwo and drafted Baylor DT Siaka Ika.
Seattle Seahawks (+3500)

They have brought in Brian Flores as head coach, upgraded their secondary with the signing of Byron Murphy and the drafting of two LSU defensive backs, and added USC wide receiver Jordan Addison in the initial round to give the offense more depth.
New Orleans Saints (+4000)
With the acquisition of Derek Carr as a quarterback, they now have a proven veteran to build around. If Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara remain healthy, their offense could take a significant stride forward in Dennis Allen’s second season as head coach.

Carolina Panthers (+6000)

After trading away Tom Brady and replacing him with Baker Mayfield, the Bucs used their draft picks to improve an already talented roster.
Tennessee Titans (+7500)
