NFL Betting Odds
One of the great ironies of futures betting is that it is almost always based on the past. And that is certainly the case when it comes to the top picks of gamblers for the 2021 NFL season and Super Bowl championship. The two Super Bowl teams from last year, the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, are favored to meet again for Super Bowl LVI.
Kansas City has been the AFC representative in the previous two Super Bowls and was upset by an underdog Tampa Bay team that played as if the wrong team was favored in Super Bowl LV. The Chiefs left superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes to run for his life unprotected, as the Buccaneers showed a quality defense that operated in the shadows of Tom Brady. The Chiefs offensive line was wiped out with injuries but has since been fortified with the trade of their number one pick for the 2021 NFL Draft to the Baltimore Ravens for left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. As for the Bucs, there is little doubt that they will be better than they were last year. But since when is that a guarantee for a repeat Super Bowl title? Just ask Kansas City about that.

*Odds as of Tuesday, June 22, 4:30 PM ET
As for alternatives to the Chiefs and Bucs, again, gamblers are looking backward to go forward. The Buffalo Bills made legitimate strides as the AFC championship game loser at Kansas City. Buffalo is one of the most complete teams in the AFC. By contrast, the Cleveland Browns made the AFC playoffs despite some weak metrics and winning select games with mirrors. The Browns could be facing a market correction.
Also potentially overrated are the New England Patriots. First round draft pick Mac Jones will be given every opportunity to win the starting job from Cam Newton, who flopped badly last year after a misleading hot start.
Quarterback news has been hot from the NFC this offseason. Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers remain handcuffed. Rogers wants out but is stuck with the Packers because of his massive contract and the fact that Green Bay knows they can’t deal away a future Hall of Famer. But for all of his gaudy numbers, Rodgers has made and won only one Super Bowl.
The San Francisco 49ers shocked draftniks by drafting Trey Lance instead of Mac Jones as their quarterback of the future. Oft-injured starter Jimmy Garoppolo is just one year removed from being considered an elite Super Bowl-caliber quarterback. Will the 49ers stick with Jimmy G if he is healthy or hand the keys to Lance from day one? That is the ultimate factor to their Super Bowl prospects.
