After a thrilling 23-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in the NFC Championship Game, the Los Angeles Rams were proclaimed victors of the NFL Super Bowl for the 2021/22 season.
In the last five years, the NFL Super Bowl has been won by five different teams: the Philadelphia Eagles in 2017–18, the New England Patriots in 2018–19, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2019–20, and the Los Angeles Rams in 2020–21, thanks to a great fourth quarter.
Every season, new teams have a chance to win the league title. Even though the Los Angeles Rams have what it takes to be champions, the Buffalo Bills are the odds-on favorite for the 2022–2023 season at +550. After the Los Angeles Rams win the Super Bowl, another team will start their season and try to do the same thing. It's not easy to pick one of the 32 NFL teams to win the Lombardi Trophy, but depending on who you root for, some teams may be out of the running right away.
After the NFL's most extended season, teams have a chance to start over with a 0-0 record; however, betting odds vary widely. The Buffalo Bills, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Green Bay Packers, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Los Angeles Rams, who won the Super Bowl last year, are the top 5 favorites. The least likely teams to win the Super Bowl are the Atlanta Falcons and the Houston Texans.
Which NFL team is favored to win Super Bowl 57?
Buffalo Bills
You might be surprised to see that Sean McDermott's Buffalo Bills have the best odds of winning the NFL Super Bowl, given that they have not won it since the game's debut in 1967. The Bills have rebounded well from their Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs by bolstering its roster with the likes of Josh Thomas, Nick McCloud, and Eli Ankou and by investing in the market to get more talented football players. The team also added Zach Davidson, Kyler McMichael, and Ryan Denmark to its bench. The Bills Mafia can stop dreaming and start living now that they have two excellent pass-rushers, Josh Allen and Von Miller. But it is not like they signed all of their players in free agency. This foundation has been laid over the course of several seasons, owing to the acquisition of Stefon Diggs in a trade and the steadfast direction of the coaching staff. The Bills have the best team in the world now that they have locked down a strong draft class.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Super Bowl champions in 2003 and 2021 are returning a slew of experienced players for the next season. Tom Brady is arguably the best quarterback of all time, and his wide receivers, Mike Evans and Julio Jones, are both future Hall of Famers. Leonard Fournette, a running back with six years of experience, has kept them competitive. With a strong offensive line, they should be able to rely less on the passing game. Some worry about the team's age and condition, but if the Bucs can keep their key players healthy, they have no business finishing lower than first.
The defense was excellent last year, as seen by their sixth-place overall finish and a fourth-place finish in the fewest points allowed per game. If the Bucs' defense can stay focused and limit points scored, they will have a chance to overcome high-scoring teams like the Los Angeles Rams and Dallas Cowboys.
Green Bay Packers
The Packers are one of the most well-known teams in the world. They have won the Super Bowl four times, and their most recent win was in 2011. They did well to win the Super Bowl in 1967, which was the first year of the NFL Super Bowl, and the year after that. They were the first team to win the Super Bowl twice in a row. With odds of +1100, there is also a good chance that the Packers will win the Super Bowl. In fact, they are a good contender. Last year, in the quarterfinals, they lost to the 49ers by a close score of 10-13. With Aaron Rodgers, the best quarterback in the league, Jaire Alexander back to full health after missing most of last season, Kenny Clark, who has been to the Pro Bowl twice in the last three years, Rashan Gary, and David Bakhtiari, the Packers have everything they need to win the Super Bowl, as they are one of the best teams in the league going into the season.
Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs are looking to replicate their successful 2020 campaign and come back to prominence this year. They may have lost their best wide receiver in Tyreek Hill, but they've made some good additions to make up for it. Wide receivers Juju Smith-Schuster (Pittsburgh Steelers) and Skyy Moore (Western Michigan Wolverines) have been two of the most significant signings. While the offense soars, the defense struggles and finished ninth last year. Despite this, their passing offense, which ranks fourth in the league, will have a field day this year.
In conclusion, it seems inconceivable that the Houston Texans could have gotten themselves organized in just a single off-season. Since Lovie Smith has one of the worst teams in the NFL, the 2022 season is not likely to bring him much cause for celebration. Davis Mills will not be one of the starting players for the Super Bowl LVII game, despite the fact that they had a tremendous draft and appeared to finally be headed in the right direction.
