CBS Sports activities’ Super Bowl greatest bets

Kansas Metropolis Chiefs +575

Dubin: I get plus cash to be on the perfect participant and greatest staff to win the Tremendous Bowl. I’ll gladly take it.

Edwards: Nobody has ever gained three Tremendous Bowls in a row so the feat itself has confirmed to be unattainable to date. Nonetheless, the Chiefs didn’t get measurably worse this offseason and nobody within the AFC obtained measurably higher. It’s a cowardly, chalk decide however I’m not going to decide on one other staff merely for the novelty.

Kernish: They’re arguably even higher this season, and Patrick Mahomes is further motivated. Assume this staff can not pull off the primary three-peat within the Tremendous Bowl period? Wager towards them if you want. 

San Francisco 49ers +625

Magaraci: Now that the 49ers have their bookkeeping so as, they’re locked and loaded for one more run on the Lombardi Trophy. It is perhaps their final likelihood.

Baltimore Ravens +900

Podell: Baltimore misplaced three key elements from the league’s prime protection in 2023: defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald (now the Seattle Seahawks coach), linebacker Patrick Queen (now with the Pittsburgh Steelers) and security Geno Stone (now with the Cincinnati Bengals).

Nonetheless, the Ravens offense might soar to new heights due to the burden of being the staff’s main rusher being lifted from Lamar Jackson’s shoulders. Jackson has run for 750 speeding yards in all 5 of his seasons as Baltimore’s beginning quarterback, essentially the most such seasons by a quarterback all time. Because of Derrick Henry’s arrival, Jackson takes approach fewer hits and the passing sport improves by advantage of that being his main duty now. The Ravens nonetheless have Nnamdi Madubuike, whose 13.0 sacks and 33 quarterback hits led all NFL defensive tackles. 

Benjamin: They have the reigning MVP, a coach who’s reached the mountaintop earlier than, and a protection that ought to stay elite. Does Lamar Jackson have big-game inquiries to reply nonetheless? Positive. However except you are betting on the Chiefs, is there a “safer” decide when it comes to perennial AFC contenders? Baltimore has been within the combine among the many elite for years.

Detroit Lions +1000

Dajani: I used to be a Lions doubter final yr due to their defensive deficiencies. Nonetheless, they made it additional than I assumed they’d. Now, Detroit has upgraded on that facet of the ball with gamers like D.J. Reader, Marcus Davenport, Carlton Davis and Terrion Arnold. The Lions additionally rewarded their in-house expertise with contract extensions this offseason, as gamers like Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Penei Sewell obtained paid. The vibes are good within the Motor Metropolis. 

Houston Texans +1300

Kernish: For those who really feel like going a special route than the Chiefs (there’s been zero three-peats for a purpose), taking the Texans at +1300 seems like a sensible choice. Sure, they’d must someway get previous the defending champs, but when they do, they’ve greater than sufficient on offense and protection, together with reigning Offensive Rookie of the 12 months C.J. Stroud, to win all of it. Keep in mind, Joe Burrow led his staff to the Tremendous Bowl in simply his second season, too.

Cincinnati Bengals +1300

Breech: The 2024 season will mark the widest the Bengals’ Tremendous Bowl window has ever been open, and now, they only want to leap by way of it. If Joe Burrow can keep wholesome, he’ll be taking part in behind the perfect offensive line he is ever had and throwing to the most effective receiving duos within the NFL (Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins).  Additionally, let’s not neglect, there’s just one staff that is been ready constantly beat Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, and that staff is the Bengals (Burrow is 3-1 towards Mahomes). 

McCarriston: Joe Burrow is again and in flip I consider the Bengals will likely be too. Not simply again within the playoff race, however again on the massive stage at Tremendous Bowl LIX. There are 4 groups with higher odds to win all of it, however the Bengals appear like they’ll win all of it this yr. They’ve two huge threats within the Ravens and Chiefs, however Baltimore hasn’t proved themselves sufficient within the postseason, and Cincinnati has already crushed Ok.C. when it counts. If anybody is taking down the defending champs, I consider it might be the Bengals.

Philadelphia Eagles +1300

Benjamin: Not an enormous underdog within the grand scheme of the chances, however nonetheless, if all their expertise truly interprets underneath a refined teaching employees, it is gonna be onerous to maintain them down within the NFC. May they only as simply implode? Yep. May they return to kind and knock off favorites just like the Lions and 49ers this time round? Their lineup suggests they’ll.

Buffalo Payments +1700

Dubin: There’s actually simply no purpose for Buffalo to be behind eight groups. The truth that there are 5 groups within the AFC alone forward of them appears loopy to me.

Edwards: The three groups that I might wish to purchase (Eagles, Texans and Bengals) are all at +1300, so let’s look down the board for a deeper sleeper. The Payments misplaced quite a bit this offseason, however in case you have a quarterback like Josh Allen, then you’ll at all times have an opportunity. 

Inexperienced Bay Packers +1700

Sullivan: If Jordan Love is the participant he was to finish final season, he is greater than able to taking a staff on a Tremendous Bowl run. Final season, the Packers had been one of many prime offenses on third down and I anticipate they will be even higher with the arrival of Josh Jacobs out of the backfield and this younger group of receivers bolstered with extra expertise. The hiring of defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley and the addition of Xavier McKinney to the secondary must also make this Inexperienced Bay protection a more durable out as nicely. 

Podell: The NFL’s youngest staff to win a playoff sport because the 1970 NFL/AFL merger (common age of 25 years and 214 days) is able to take a Lombardi leap. Quarterback Jordan Love’s Packers offense broke the NFL’s single-season data for many catches (302), receiving yards (3,642) and receiving touchdowns (31) by first- or second-year gamers in 2023. All of those items — Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks — return in 2024, and are bolstered by the arrival of  26-year-old, 2022 NFL speeding champion Josh Jacobs. Defensively, Inexperienced Bay has a brand new, far more aggressive defensive coordinator in Jeff Hafley after seasons losing the Packers’ early-round expertise by dropping again into extra passive zone coverages underneath Joe Barry. Basic supervisor Brian Gutekunst additionally signed the NFL’s greatest security in protection, Xavier McKinney (91.2 Professional Soccer Focus protection grade, greatest amongst safeties). Inexperienced Bay is primed to make a run to the Tremendous Bowl. 

Prisco: They’ll win the Tremendous Bowl? Why? Jordan Love, a quick group of receivers and an improved protection. Aaron who? 

DeArdo: Good betting odds for a staff that ended final season on a tear, stunning the Cowboys within the NFC title sport and taking the eventual NFC champion 49ers to the wire every week later.

New York Jets +1700

Sullivan: The expertise offers this staff a Lombardi Trophy ceiling. Defensively, they’ve a set of expertise that might make them the highest unit within the league. In the meantime, the offensive ability positions are headlined by wideout Garrett Wilson and operating again Breece Hall, who’re each getting ready to superstardom. Aaron Rodgers is the X issue and if he can keep wholesome and rebound from his torn Achilles final season, he is a large improve at quarterback from a staff that was nonetheless capable of win seven video games a yr in the past. 

Magaraci: We’re speaking concerning the Jets in fact, so that is really a loooooooong shot. Aaron Rodgers has one thing to show and this Jets staff has a great deal of expertise on either side of the ball, so why not?

Los Angeles Rams +2500

Breech: The Rams had been one of many greatest surprises of the 2023 season they usually might be an excellent larger shock this yr. Nobody is admittedly giving them a shot to win the NFC West, not to mention the Tremendous Bowl. The Rams have a lot offensive firepower that it is nearly unfair with Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams. These 4 solely performed eight video games collectively final season and the Rams went 6-2, so if they’ll all keep wholesome, the sky is the restrict for L.A. in 2024. 

Miami Dolphins +2500

McCarriston: If the Dolphins can study to win within the chilly climate, there isn’t a restrict to the place they might go. The playoffs have been their Achilles heel, however they’ve the expertise to shock folks this season. Folks will likely be targeted on the flashier groups within the AFC, just like the Ravens, Chiefs and Bengals and the ‘Fins have the flexibility to be in that dialog.

Cleveland Browns +4000

Dajani: The Falcons, Chargers and Bears have higher “possibilities” to win the Tremendous Bowl this yr than the Browns. What world are we dwelling in? Cleveland had an unimaginable protection final yr that carried the Browns to the playoffs, whereas a 38-year-old backup quarterback discovered success in NFL Coach of the 12 months Kevin Stefanski’s offense. Deshaun Watson has been disappointing, however what if he turns it round and stays wholesome? If we’re speaking about worth, it is right here with the Browns. 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers +9000

Prisco: This may appear loopy, however they’re the perfect staff of their division — regardless of what the chances say. The schedule is hard, however they’ve an incredible mixture of younger and outdated. Baker Mayfield will play nicely. 

DeArdo: Of the groups with decrease Tremendous Bowl odds, the Buccaneers have the perfect odds of going all the best way. Keep in mind, Tampa upset the Eagles within the playoffs final yr and misplaced a really winnable sport every week later in Detroit. It helps that Tampa performs within the very-winnable NFC South, which provides them a great likelihood at making the playoffs and internet hosting a playoff sport.
