Super Bowl 57 Favorites

Super Bowl 57 comes our way on Sun. Feb. 12, 2023, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ. Odds on the winner of the next big game have already been out for several months, and the market remains active as the regular season approaches.

The current consensus favorite is the Buffalo Bills, a team that has made it to the postseason for three straight years. The club has yet to get over the hump, but the odds indicate that the breakthrough could finally happen.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are also among the favorites now that Tom Brady is back to take another crack at some hardware. Other teams that are generating buzz include the Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay Packers, and the Los Angeles Rams.

NFL Futures 2022-23

When it comes to NFL futures betting, the winner of the next Super Bowl is the star attraction. You can also explore other top betting markets, including:

If you like making season-long picks while getting a sense of the betting market perspective of the NFL, futures are a great option to check out. Using the MVP award as an example, current favorites include Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, and Tom Brady.

For division races, two of the more intriguing ones to watch are for the winners of the AFC West and NFC West. Futures betting can provide you with even more season-long rooting interest, and the returns can be generous when you make the right call at appealing odds.

NFL Props, TDs, and SGPs

For those learning how to bet on the NFL the big three pregame bets of spread, moneyline, and over/under always attract tons of attention for each game on the docket. As legal online sports betting continues to expand, other options are seeing massive spikes in popularity.

Included on the list are player props. You can bet on your favorite QBs, backs, and receivers in a number of different ways, such as an over/under on a set amount of yards. You can also wager on which players will find the end zone with touchdown prop bets.

Same game parlay bets are also available for each contest. These are wagers where you make two or more picks from the same game, such as a spread, total, and player prop. Returns can be great when you win, but hitting multiple legs at once is challenging.

The 2022-23 NFL season

The 2022-23 NFL regular season begins on Thursday, Sept. 8 with what should be an excellent matchup. The Buffalo Bills, the current favorites in Super Bowl odds markets, will be on the road to take on last year’s champions, the Los Angeles Rams.

Highlights of the regular season include the traditional triple-header on Thanksgiving Day on Thu. Nov. 24. For the holidays, the league is switching things around with the majority of the Week 16 games taking place on Sat. Dec. 24. Once you ring in the New Year, the NFL will be in session with 14 of the Week 17 games set for Sun. Jan. 1.

The 18-week regular season comes to a close on Jan. 8, 2023 with all 32 teams in action. The action will wrap up with a Sunday Night Football matchup to be determined, but it’s safe to say that there will be something at stake.

NFL Primetime Schedule

Sundays are made for the NFL, but the same can be said when it’s time for the primetime games. Thursday Night Football gets the week started. NBC is the broadcast home for the opener and Thanksgiving Night, while Amazon Prime will handle the rest.

Sunday Night Football has come to be viewed as the marquee game of the week. That sentiment holds true this season with schedule highlights including the Buccaneers vs. Cowboys in Week 1 and the Rams vs. Chargers in Week 17.

The NFL weekly slates come to a close with Monday Night Football. This season’s opener is Broncos vs. Seahawks on Sept. 12. In Week 11, the ESPN crew heads to Mexico City for an NFC West showdown between the 49ers and Cardinals.
