It’s no surprise to see who’s at the top of the latest list of the odds to win Super Bowl LIII, as the Los Angeles Rams are the last undefeated team, and the Kansas City Chiefs only have one loss — and that loss came in New England in a barnburner. The one-loss New Orleans Saints sit behind New England. As the divisional races heat up and teams start angling for a bye in the first round and home field advantage, we may see the odds shift some more. For now, though, we have the latest Super Bowl LII odds for each team as well as some comments about the contenders.

The Los Angeles Rams have to be the favorite due to their unbeaten status, but they looked shaky in that win over Green Bay. Specifically on defense, which is ranked just 13th in the NFL. They did help the team pull in wins over Minnesota and the L.A. Chargers, but it also allowed Aaron Rodgers, balky knee and all, to keep leading scoring drives in their game on Sunday, giving up big plays on both the run and the pass. They need to solidify their defense if they want to make it past the first round of the playoffs this year. Few teams are as exciting as the Kansas City Chiefs. However, they’ve seen some big leads almost slip away at the end in games against the L.A. Chargers, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Denver, thanks to poor clock management. That’s always been a problem for Andy Reid, even dating back to his time in Philadelphia, but the Chiefs this time around have a hard time continuing drives late in games when they are ahead, instead settling for three-and-out possessions. For New Orleans, the defense has been the problem for the past few years. They did come up with two huge takeaways in their prime-time win at Minnesota, but only four teams allow more passing yards per game, and only two teams allow a better passer rating by their opponent or passing yards per attempt. They face the Rams at home next week, so we’ll see if they’ve made the necessary adjustments. New England has gotten to 6-2 and leads the AFC East by two games — but that may be one of the weakest divisions in the league. Tom Brady is making things work late, thanks to Rob Gronkowski, Chris Hogan and Julian Edelman, but ball security has slipped a little this year, as the Patriot offense has turned the ball over at least once in each game this season. Brady can overcome a lot of problems as an offensive leader, but turnovers will bring any offense to a grinding halt. The L.A. Chargers may be the best team that no one watches. Their home games are played in a soccer stadium in Carson that is largely empty, which may help them turn around a negative trend in road games. They have won just 9 of 27 road contests since the beginning of the 2015 campaign, ranked just 25th in the league. They play four of seven on the road, so we’ll see if that 5-2 record can hold up or if they will slide back down toward the .500 mark.
