The 2022 NFL season is gaining momentum and we’ll be in the playoffs before you know it. If you’re one of those people who likes to watch the first few weeks of the regular season before placing your bet on the Super Bowl, I totally get it. You will lose some value, but you will also avoid betting on a team like the Denver Broncos.
Super Bowl odds are fluid and change weekly. In some cases, they change daily. Let’s take a look at the current Super Bowl odds compared to where they were a week ago and discuss some interesting moves. Here are the Lombardi odds for all 32 NFL teams.
All NFL odds are from Caesars Sportsbook.
We’d be here all day if we were to break down all the moves that have happened over the past week. You’ll see the biggest moves have happened with teams that aren’t in the top 10, but let’s look at these top 10 teams Vegas has identified as legitimate contenders.
The Bills went from +350 to +280 after their big 24-20 win over the Chiefs on Sunday. Buffalo is probably the most complete team in the NFL and deserves to be the favorite at this point. The Chiefs, meanwhile, went from +650 to +700.
The Eagles are the NFC favorites, and they went from +700 to +550 after their win over the Cowboys. Next on the Eagles roster are the Steelers, Texans, Commanders and Colts. If you’re thinking of betting on Philly to win it all, I would do it now.
The 49ers went from +1400 to +1800 after their tough loss to the Falcons. Maybe they’re not the legitimate competitor some thought they would be? Then again, we know how impressive Jimmy Garoppolo and Co. can be late in the regular season. The Packers have also seen an increase in Super Bowl odds, as they are now +2000 from +1400. Aaron Rodgers was intimidated by the Jets defense last week, and the Packers as a whole seem all in a bad mood.
The most fascinating move we’ve seen this week involves “Team America” - the Cowboys. Yes, they lost to the Eagles, but they did with Cooper Rush. The Cowboys backup quarterback played incredibly well in place of injured Dak Prescott, but how many of us were genuinely surprised to see them lose on the prime-time road to the NFL’s only undefeated team ? Not me. Still, I don’t think Dallas deserved to go from +1800 to +2200. Prescott’s return should make this team 4-2 even better, so this week is a great time to jump on the Cowboys.
