There is less and less left for the start of the NFLthe best competition in the world that has as its great final climax the Super Bowlthe event that decides the trophy champion Vince Lombardi, the great objective for the 32 franchises in the league.
Las Vegas bookmakers have already spokenand these are the 5 favorites to get the champion ring. Next, we review each of these sets and their possibilities for the next season.
KANSAS AND PHILADELPHIA ASPIRE TO REPEAT FINAL
It is not easy to repeat Super Bowl in the NFL. The harshness of the competition causes some franchises to fall apart completely after a successful campaign, If not, tell the Los Angeles Ramsbut this year it seems different, and it is that the bookmakers continue to give Kansas and Philadelphia as the two teams with the most chances of seeing each other in the grand finaleal, as they already did this past February.
as long as i’m Mahomes at the controls, the Chiefs will continue in the shortlist for the champion ring. Management has made a move with the additions of Jawan Taylor, offensive tackle, edge ruher Omenichus and the linebacker Dru Tranquill, three NFL journeymen who shore up the positions. The most notorious casualties for Andy Reid’s men have been the tackle Orlando Brown, one of the best in the competition Juju Smith Schuster y Frank Clark, to whom it was decided not to renew for economic reasons.
In addition, in the draft they incorporated two interesting profiles: Felix Anudike-Uzomah, first-round edge, and receiver Rashee Rice, who will surely have minutes and balls with Patrick Mahomes at quarterback. The Kansas City Chiefs are the big favorites at the bookmakers.
For their part, the Philadelphia Eagles entered the postseason with the sole objective of don’t miss too many headlines, an objective that has not been easy due to the seduction of the other franchises for taking over some of their players. The most important outputs have been C.J Gardner-Johnson, Javon Hargrave, TJ Edwards y Miles Sanders, sensitive casualties in their positions, but they have managed to retain other pillars such as Bradberry, Cox, Slay y Brandon Graham.
What makes a return of ‘Philly’ to the Super Bowl is his great role in the Draftt. The franchise selected Jalen Carterprojected as the best talent of the litter, together with Nolan Smith, perhaps the second best edge rusher of all. These two rookies along with others like Kelee Ringopick 106, once again exponentially raise the level of the team, which has a fearsome defensive line capable of massacring any rival. The Eagles, if injuries spare them, can be crowned champions of the National Conference again
SAN FRANCISCO, THE GREAT UNKNOWN
san francisco 49ersunder the orders of Kyle Shanahan, always synonymous with competitiveness. Despite losing his first two quarterbacks on 22/23 with Garoppolo y Trey Lancethe franchise invented the impossible with Brock Purdy, the (last) pick 262 of the Draft that worked the miracle to keep the team afloat until the conference finals, in which a injury already caused the elimination llogic of those of the Bay.
Free agency hasn’t brought much good news to the 49ers. Yeah, they got an elite nose tackle in Javon Hargravebut the losses in the defensive plot are notorious: Omenihu, Ebukam, Moseley, Al-Shaair y Ward They are no longer part of the picture, to which is added an important output such as that of McGlinchey at offensive tackle, one of the best in the NFL.
The best thing for San Francisco is that they continue to have Shanahan in the band, one of the most creative head coaches in the entire competition and capable of inventing a thousand and one resources to knock down his rivals. If the receiving pair Samuel-Aiyuk and the defensive duo Bosa Warner follows the line seen last year, things will go well. Of course, they need their starting quarterback, Lance, Purdy or even the recently signed Sam Darnold, is available throughout the year
BENGALS AND BUFFALO CLOSE THE TOP 5
Since Joe Burrow broke into the NFL in his second year, the Bengals have moved into the first place in the league, a status that, if the core maintains, they will maintain for a long time. They lost the Super Bowl in 2021 to the Rams and they fell last year against the Chiefs of Mahomesso they are already fully involved in the fight for the title.
In the offseason they lost their vital pair of safeties in Jessie Bates and Von Bellas well as Perine (RB) y Hayden Hurst (TE)but they have also made one of the best signings in the competition. Orlando Brown, one of the best valued offensive tacklesis already one of Burrow’s guardians for the following season, exponentially raising the level of a unit plagued by injuries continually.
If the attack trident Burrow, Chase and Higgins repeat what has been seen so far, the painting directed by Zac Taylor It has nothing to envy to the other franchises. The acquisitions via draft of DJ Turner y Jordan Battle they’ll try to shore up a secondary that has lost big names.
In Buffalo there is more skepticism around the project Sean McDermott. The Bills seem to be staying a rung behind the other favorites to the ringand they need to reach a Super Bowl to earn everyone’s respect again. Josh Allen has more than demonstrated his elite status in the leaguebut for whatever reason, the team hasn’t been able to hit the table come the playoffs.
This postseason, the Western New York franchise has added Connor McGovern for the offensive line, as well as other complements in Damien Harris, Latavius Murray o Leonard Floyd. The pending subject of the team is prop Running Game, a deficit that makes the attack predictable on some occasions. Of course, they have lost one of the best names in the defensive field in Tremaine Edmunds, linebacker who now lands in Chicago Bears.
The doctoraft was remarkable for the Buffalo front office, acquiring two ‘undervalued’ players but with great potential. Dalton Kincaid was the choice in the first round, considered the Tight End with the best hands of the university class, while the guard O’Cyrus Torrence He was the second choice in pick 59, a priori one of the “steals” in the draft.
These are the 5 favorites in the Las Vegas betting housesbut the NFL is a completely unpredictable competition, so there will be other teams that surprise and manage to sneak into the first echelon.
