Super Early Super Bowl 53 Odds and Predictions

Super Early Super Bowl 53 Odds and Predictions

Written by on February 6, 2018

In the wake of the Philadelphia Eagles’ 41-33 win over the New England Patriots in the most offensively prolific game in the history of the National Football League, in terms of yards gained, there have been some stories about the coming collapse of the Patriot dynasty. Both the offensive and defensive coordinators for New England are heading on to head coaching jobs of their own, and there seems to have been some discord between Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. However, the NFL betting odds still have New England as the early favorite in Super Bowl 53 future odds for next year. Let’s take a look at the latest odds for each of the 32 NFL franchises.

Super Early Super Bowl 53 Odds and Predictions

New England (+500)

Maybe, maybe not. No team has made it to three consecutive Super Bowls since 1992, when Buffalo made the third of four consecutive trips to the big game (losing all four, of course). There’s also the fact that Tom Brady turns 41 in August. Which other quarterbacks have thrown more than even 3,000 yards in their age-41 seasons? Vinny Testaverde and Warren Moon. But if Brady can only get to 3,000 or so, the Patriots will be in big trouble. And Rob Gronkowski is musing retirement after his latest concussion.

Philadelphia (+700)

Will Carson Wentz be healed from his ACL and LCL injuries in time to start the next regular season? If Nick Foles has to start the season under center and keeps winning big, will the Eagles really put Wentz back into the starting role once he’s finally ready? Or will the Eagles trade Foles in the off-season for some real value?

Green Bay (+800)

Yes, Aaron Rodgers will be back. That collarbone injury can re-aggravate itself, of course (just ask Tony Romo). And Minnesota will be tough in the NFC North as well.

Pittsburgh (+1000)

Well, the Steelers need to bring in some defense if they want to advance past the first round of the playoffs. That loss to Jacksonville was beyond ridiculous.

Minnesota (+1200)

The Vikings have three starting quarterbacks — Case Keenum, Sam Bradford and Teddy Bridgewater. Who stays and who goes?

L.A. Rams (+1750)

Will the playoff loss help Jared Goff and company grow? Or will they have a chemistry collapse next year?

San Francisco (+1800)

I’m still wondering how the 49ers got Jimmy Garoppolo from New England for so little. Garoppolo already looks like the franchise quarterback the Niners have been missing since Steve Young.

Houston (+1850)

Deshaun Watson looked terrific for Houston until that ACL blew out. He led the Texans to the brink of a win at New England until the Texans’ defense got run over by another Tom Brady comeback. Can Houston win the AFC South this year?

New Orleans (+1850)

Drew Brees is 39, so he’s getting near that age line for quarterbacks. But the Saints’ defense was much better this year, and there appears to be a running game at work. I’m surprised this number is so high.

Jacksonville, Atlanta, Dallas (+2000)

Both teams have major questions to answer in one phase (offense for the Jags, defense for the Falcons and Cowboys). They all have a lot of talent, but their rosters lack the balance that champions need — at least at this point.

Oakland (+2100)

What will Jon Gruden get out of Derek Carr and the Oakland offense? That unit fell apart under Jack Del Rio. Gruden likes to be more of a disciplinarian than the modern player might appreciate, but he does have rapport with quarterbacks.

Carolina, Seattle (+2500)

Mercurial offenses, inconsistent defenses. That’s why the Panthers lasted one week in the postseason, while the Seahawks were eliminated in Week 17.

Kansas City, L.A. Chargers (+3000)

Even if Pat Mahomes II is what Kansas City needs, how will they get around that awful second-half coaching from Andy Reid?

Denver (+3500)

If Kirk Cousins ends up here, this number shrinks dramatically. But does John Elway think he needs a quarterback? Everyone else does.

Indianapolis, Tampa Bay (+4000)

Jameis Winston needs to spend another off-season growing up, while the Colts desperately need someone to put together a defense for them.

Baltimore, Arizona, Tennessee, Detroit (+5000)

I like Detroit’s chances bringing in a defensive-minded head coach in Matt Patrisha, while keeping Matthew Stafford at the helm of a dangerous offense. Tennessee still has a great duo in Marcus Mariota and DeMarco Murray on offense. Arizona and Baltimore seem on the edge of rebuilds.

N.Y. Giants (+5500)

Will this year mark the beginning of the Davis Webb era at quarterback? Change is coming in Gotham, one way or the other.

Miami, Washington (+7000)

Signing Alex Smith makes these odds higher than they should be. But Washington has to get by Philadelphia just to make it to the division title. Miami is a dumpster fire thanks to the belief that Jay Cutler could save their offense.

N.Y. Jets, Chicago, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Cleveland (+10000)
