Great quarterbacks elevate their teammates, and Mahomes did just that with his five touchdown passes in Week 1 and another strong game against the rival Chargers in Week 2. But it seems like the answer should have been clear all along: Patrick Mahomes makes people better. There will be hiccups for the Chiefs this season (Week 3 loss to Indy) as they play in probably the best division in football, and there were some legitimate questions about how the Chiefs offense would look without superstar wideout Tyreek Hill. There’s an old cliche in football that you’re never as bad as you look and never as good as you look, so if we’re going to be optimistic about teams like Cincinnati, we have to take the Chiefs’ big win over Arizona in Week 1 with a grain of salt, too.īut it’s a very small grain of salt.

There are concerns, but this is still one of the best teams in the NFL when at full force. The Bucs will be healthier at some point soon and the second half of their schedule is a lot lighter than the first. He was missing his top three receivers, top two left tackles, top left guard and starting center in Week 3 and still almost tied the game on the last play against a far healthier Green Bay team with Super Bowl aspirations. I’m buying the dip on that negativity based on a look at the situation around Brady right now. There are questions already starting to pop up about Tom Brady’s commitment, his ability and his personal life that have some analysts writing off the GOAT just three weeks into the season despite his team being 2-1. It isn’t quite a long shot, but these are the best odds we’ve seen on the Bucs in months. The offensive line has a lot of new faces, so it could take them a few weeks to jell.īut for now I see the Bengals as a good value at +3000. I still believe in the talent on this team and think that if they can find a way to protect Burrow consistently, they should be OK. Burrow picked apart the Jets D and didn’t throw a pick. But they turned it around in Week 3 by soundly beating the Jets on the road. There’s definitely a part of me that wonders whether this team simply ran hot for a few months last year and isn’t the Super Bowl contender they appeared to be.

Burrow threw four interceptions, took seven sacks and did everything in his power to throw their Week 1 game away and he was running for his life all afternoon against Defensive Player of the Year odds candidate Micah Parsons and the Cowboys defense. Joe Burrow and the Bengals had a rough Week 1, and arguably an even worse Week 2. We’re losing a bit of value on this bet with each passing week as the Ravens were sitting at +2000 just before Week 1. If the Ravens can figure out some of their coverage issues, they have the offense to compete with anyone. The Ravens and Jackson (who is a legitimate NFL MVP odds candidate) looked good in their Week 1 road win against the Jets and were incredible (at least offensively) in Weeks 2 and 3 despite their loss to Miami in Week 2. The Ravens were decimated by injury last season and still managed an 8-9 record, and I think with some health luck they should easily be in the mix in the AFC. They always have a good defense and have one of the best 10 or so quarterbacks in the league in former MVP Lamar Jackson. It feels like a lot of people are forgetting how good the Ravens have been in recent years. There were more encouraging signs of them shaking off the Super Bowl hangover with wins over Atlanta and Arizona in Weeks 2 and 3. They are better than they looked and are a value at +1500 (down from +1200) in Super Bowl odds. Top to bottom, the Rams roster isn’t quite as good as their championship team, but the champs still have only five teams above them in Super Bowl odds.ĭon’t let L.A.’s Week 1 performance against the Bills fool you too much. The team did lose some key pieces in Odell Beckham Jr., Robert Woods, Von Miller, starting cornerback Darious Williams and two starting offensive linemen, but they added Bobby Wagner, Allen Robinson and a few others. The Rams have a great chance to come out of the NFC again with Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay still in place.
