Below is a closer look at the current top five favorites to win Super Bowl 58. That’s followed by our three best bets, including a dark-horse pick to engage in a Sin City confetti celebration on Feb. 11.
K.C. has won seven straight division titles and has played in five straight AFC Championship Games and three of the past four Super Bowls.
Now Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid and Co. are aiming to become the first NFL team since the 2003-04 New England Patriots to win back-to-back Big Games.
The Chiefs’ supporting cast has some fresh faces and the AFC is stacked, featuring eight of the 12 teams with the shortest Super Bowl odds. But, if anything, we should know by now not to count out a just-reaching-his-prime Mahomes, who is a sparkling 75-19 (.798) in five seasons as a starter, including 11-3 in the postseason.
With new offensive and defensive coordinators, the defending NFC champs have some uncertainties. The Eagles replaced nearly half of their defensive starters from last season’s Super Bowl appearance.
But QB Jalen Hurts is primed to soar even higher after a breakout 2022, and he’s surrounded by an impressive cast, including two of the league’s best offensive and defensive lines.
Buffalo QB Josh Allen compares favorably to fellow AFC top-shelf quarterbacks, Mahomes and Joe Burrow. But the latter two have proven they can pilot their teams to the Super Bowl, going a combined 3-0 vs. Allen’s Bills in the postseason.
It’s also true that Allen could’ve used a little more help along the way, and the hope is talented rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid, and a healthier Von Miller and Tre’Davious White on defense, will do just that this season.
With one of the league’s elite defenses in 2022 and arguably the best top-to-bottom collection of skill-position players, the Niners belong high on this list.
As has been the case over the last four seasons, with San Francisco playing in three NFC title games, the key question is at quarterback.
A rash of injuries and highly inconsistent play have dogged 49ers QBs during that span, and the hopes are now pinned on 2022 seven-round pick Brock Purdy, who went 7-0 as a starter down the stretch last season before injuring his elbow in the NFC Championship Game loss in Philly.
In his two full seasons with a healthy Burrow at the helm, the Bengals have gone 27-13 with narrow postseason losses in a Super Bowl and an AFC title game to conclude the respective campaigns.
Cincy has since further fortified its offensive line, and if the offseason losses of both starting safeties and Burrow’s preseason calf issue don’t prove problematic, expect the Bengals to be in the thick of the Lombardi Trophy hunt once again.
Much of the Super Bowl title battle preludes the Big Game. And that’s where Philly has a major advantage over its elite counterparts in the cutthroat AFC.
Hurts and the Eagles showed they could trade punches with the best in their 38-35 loss to the Chiefs last February, and all that was absent was the one, knockout blow.
Much like the 49ers, about all that was missing for the Jets last season was steady quarterback play as they extended their league-worst playoff drought to 12 seasons.
Gang Green looks to have secured a QB upgrade — and then some — this offseason in dealing for four-time league MVP Aaron Rodgers.
If the Jets’ impressive young talent and defense of 2022 proves they’re the real deal and Rodgers still has some spring in his step — and zip in his passes — with his 40th birthday looming in December, the Jets could quench their playoff drought and zoom past the other AFC heavyweights in one-fell-surprise swoop.
In 2017, a Doug Pederson-coached team led by a talented young QB with a high draft pedigree and college championship credentials took the league by storm en route to their first Super Bowl title.
Pederson’s Jaguars, guided by QB/2021 No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence, will try to follow that script in 2023.
The Jags reeled off seven straight wins down the stretch last season before falling, gamely, to the eventual-champion Chiefs in the divisional round. They’ll now look to build off that momentum in a weak division and surge past the field in the rugged AFC.
