It’s logical that the Bills would be favorites to win the Super Bowl LVII are valid. They were seconds away from beating Kansas City at Arrowhead Stadium and playing for the AFC title in Buffalo. After a solid offseason, it’s clear why the Bills are Super Bowl favorites.
With just a few changes to the roster, you might also agree that Buffalo is the best team in the NFL right now.
If the standard for a Super Bowl favorite is to beat the Chiefs in Kansas City, then the Bills are one of the few teams to qualify. However, this optimistic assessment comes at a price, at least for the bettor: if the Bills hit everything the bookmakers expect, the payout is small, the chance that something will go wrong and they won’t hit 11.5 wins is almost too high.

We currently believe that betting against the Bills is more likely to pay off. There are good odds to bet on the Patriots in Week 18, and it might be worth doing the same with the Titans in Week 2. That Buffalo are considered favorites in Baltimore and Kansas City — where the Bills were underdogs twice last year — comes as a bit of a surprise.
Below is the SWOT analysis of the bills.
SWOT-Analyse
Strengths
Given what is expected of the team, Josh Allen is the favorite for MVP. But Buffalo’s offense may not even be his forte. The defense, which topped the NFL last season, has bolstered with pass-rusher Von Miller and will have All-Pro cornerback Tre’Davious White back from his knee injury.
Weaknesses
How much will the absence of former offensive coordinator Brian Daboll affect the Bills’ offense? Daboll pursued the concept of an almost all-pass offense, but Buffalo spent a lot of drafting money on running back James Cook. Are we sure more run plays for the Bills is a good thing?
If we’re picky about defense, losing to the Chiefs, Buccaneers, or Colts, they didn’t exactly look like a top team.
Opportunities
Given the high expectations placed on Buffalo, just as with the Bucs and Packers we discussed earlier, the first thing to consider is whether the Bills are worth their price. Comparing last year’s schedule with this year’s one can’t help but wonder if they might not be the best team in the league.
Risks (Threats)
Once a team has achieved this position (as the best team), more than 14 wins are no longer excluded. Allen could have gotten everything he needed from Daboll and there could be continuity even without him. Miller and the return of White could make the Bills’ defense good enough to also stop the top offenses they struggled with last year. All of this could mean that bookmakers are actually underestimating Buffalo.
