Though the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI just over two months ago, the focus has already shifted to the NFL’s next championship game.
With the possibility of Kansas sports betting launching in time for Super Bowl LVII, which would be exciting news for fans of possible title contender Kansas City and an already drama-filled offseason, there’s no shortage of excitement and intrigue regarding the upcoming NFL season and the game that will decide the next team to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
So which team is favored to win Super Bowl LVII?
Buffalo Bills Favored To Win Super Bowl LVII
After several seasons as one of the NFL’s most dynamic and explosive teams, the Buffalo Bills are the favorites to go all the way this season. A number of Tennessee sports betting apps have odds for every NFL team.
With +650 odds, the Bills are favored to win Super Bowl LVII, according to DraftKings. That’s not much of a surprise, as Buffalo is led by star quarterback Josh Allen, who threw for 4,407 yards and 36 touchdowns this past season, and coach Sean McDermott, who has worked wonders in revitalizing the franchise.
Part of the talent Allen brings to the table is his dual-threat ability, as he can both scramble on passing plays and run option plays in Buffalo’s offense. It’s been a key part of the Bills’ success, which has included three straight seasons of at least 10 wins since the Wyoming product took the reins of the offense.
McDermott and his staff, though, aren’t solely counting on Allen’s rushing prowess as they look to make a Super Bowl run this year after capping their recent 11-6 campaign with an overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Playoffs.
“Yeah, we want to evolve,” McDermott told NFL Network’s Judy Battista, according to NFL.com. “We’re always trying to evolve — on the field, off the field, schematically — and in this case with Josh’s running or the amount of times that we run him, we have to continue to evolve that way and making sure we’re doing right by him by doing right by our team.
“So we are going to keep a close eye on that. But the one thing we will never take from Josh is his competitive nature and spirit. So he’s gonna do it when he’s gonna do it.”

Tampa Bay Follows Closely Behind
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are just behind Buffalo with second-best odds to win Super Bowl LVII at +700.
It’s been a crazy offseason for the Bucs, as legendary quarterback Tom Brady announced his retirement on Feb. 1, then reversed course 40 days later, saying he was coming back to Tampa Bay after all.
“These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands,” Brady tweeted on March 13. “That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG.”
Brady’s decision obviously changed nearly everything about the outlook for Tampa Bay, which went 13-4 overall but lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional round. Brady threw for 5,316 yards and 43 touchdowns, increasing his numbers in both categories in his second season with the team.
Despite his age and other questions lingering over the roster, Brady’s return highly increases optimism for the Bucs to win their second Super Bowl in three years.

Chiefs’ Odds Might Be Tempting
If Kansas sports fans are able to bet when football season kicks off, putting their money down on their hometown Chiefs doesn’t seem like a bad idea.
The Chiefs are at +1000 odds to win Super Bowl LVII, the same as the Green Bay Packers and defending champion Rams. Kansas City, which is led by superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, finished 12-5 last season, losing to the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship game.
In order to even get to the Super Bowl, though, the Chiefs will have to adequately replace blazing wideout Tyreek Hill, who was recently traded to the Miami Dolphins.
“It’s how it is in this league,” Mahomes said, according to NFL Network’s James Palmer. “It’s as much a business as much as it is about your friendships and stuff like that. So, we know in order to have success in this league you have to continue to evolve and keep getting better.
“I got with these new receivers as quickly as possible and try and build that so we can have success right when we get going this year.”
