WaltHere are the Super Bowl LXI odds for each team at different sportsbooks:
Before we break things down, I’d like to thank our future robot overlords for creating this fancy chart. Thank you so much, ChatGPT. Please don’t enslave me too harshly in a few years.
I did a full review of these teams in our live stream, which also contains a great image from ChatGPT. Bonus points for anyone who guesses the inspiration for the thumbnail art:
Here are some teams I’m either betting now or will be betting later in the summer:
Los Angeles Rams: I’ll be waiting for a profit boost at a sportsbook to extend the +800 to at least +1200. The Rams are the best team in the NFL, and I want to bet the best team in the NFL.
Buffalo Bills: I’m considering the Ravens in this range as well, but given what the odds are, I feel like you need to make a stand on one or the other, and Buffalo has had Baltimore’s number. The Bills improved their receiver group with D.J. Moore, and the Mike Vrabel-related issues the Patriots are facing can only help Buffalo.
San Angeles Chargers: The Chargers looked like the best team in the NFL through three weeks last year with a blowout win over the Chiefs and a victory over the Broncos. However, Joe Alt was lost to injury in Week 4, and from then on, the Chargers couldn’t block. Both tackles will be returning, and I like the hire of Mike McDaniel to help Justin Herbert.
Cincinnati Bengals: I’ve been down on the Bengals for several seasons because of their defensive liabilities and some injuries to Joe Burrow, but this is the first offseason in a while where the Bengals don’t have some sort of drama bothering them. Burrow is healthy, while the defense has been enhanced by Dexter Lawrence, Jonathan Allen, Boye Mafe, and Bryan Cook.
Washington Redskins: The Redskins have great upside. They were in the NFC Championshp a year-and-a-half ago, after all. If Jayden Daniels can remain healthy, they can win it all, thanks to some improvements made to the defense. Washington was 19/1 at this time last year, so 65/1 is a great bargain.
New Orleans Saints: Just a small bet. The Saints have a solid defense and a youngish quarterback with improved weapons. If they win their poor division, we can have a team with 100/1 odds hosting a playoff game. I suppose this also applies to the Panthers and Falcons, but the Saints seem like a better version of them.
