Bills and Chiefs Favorites For Next Seasons Super Bowl Winner


Mike in Horseheads

Recommended Posts

The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills head into the offseason as the favorites to win next year's Super Bowl.

Caesars Sportsbook has the Chiefs as the favorites at 13-2, followed by the Bills at 7-1. DraftKings, FanDuel and WynnBET have the Chiefs and Bills as co-favorites to win Super Bowl LVII, and BetRivers and the SuperBook have Buffalo as the sole favorite. The Chiefs and Bills are the only teams with odds in the single digits.

  • Mike in Horseheads changed the title to Bills and Chiefs Favorites For Next Seasons Super Bowl Winner

As we should be.

 

after the Jags game, I thought that Beane had failed us this past offseason.  Our lord and savior 17 wasn’t safe behind our OL.  Then Bates happened and everything changed.  I was wrong about Beanes offseason.  Our OL was good enough as was our D.  Losing Tre turned out to be too much to overcome and our coaches blew the season for us 

 

but this team was 💯 good enough to become champions.  Lots of luck goes into winning a SB.  We didn’t have enough of it in the end. I think we’ll go the super bowl in 23 and 24 of Beane does just enough.

You really cannot say which team should be favourites until draft and free agency completed

Disagree with you on the D. They were exposed against good teams. That needs to change next season.

This years Super Bowl was Bills v Chiefs. Next year will be no different. 

Maybe if the Chiefs had gotten to the Superbowl and won it, there would be more merit to this take.

I think the Bills are close, but what they lack is a defensive line that can generate pressures and sacks. Beane has really tried to address that, but the results have not been there yet.

Someone who understands this, enlighten me.

 

What within the NFL scheduling process dictates that Bills will play IN KC again next season?  I understand the reason they are playing, but how is home/away for that game determined?  What would Buffalo had to do, if anything, to get that regular season game played in Buffalo, next year?

Feel free to disagree.  Every d in the league is exposed at times. Please, name one defense this year that wasn’t.  It’s an offensive league and sometimes defenses play very well.  in most cases, the offenses have their way with defenses. The nfl has made sure of that given the rule changes over the years.  
 

The rams d was lit up and exposed by good teams all season long.  Yet they were good enough?  If we don’t lose our best defensive player and heart and soul on D, we were good enough.  Take Ramsey away and the rams don’t make it to the super bowl.

We generated pressure all season. We had the same amount of sacks as the bengals D.  
 

i 💯agree that Beane hasn’t had great success with his DL investments, but we had a solid pass rush this season.

I was curious about this too...

 

The Chiefs played in Buffalo in the regular season in 2020.  This was the result of the regular 3-year rotation among AFC divisions where you play all four teams in a division in a given year.  Since the Bills played in Kansas City in 2017, the rotation was due such that they were going to play in Buffalo.

 

In 2021, because the Bills won the AFC East, their AFC West opponent was Kansas City, because they too finished first in their division in 2020.  The location of this game was dictated by the rotation as well.  The Bills will play AT the AFC west for the 2021 and 2022 seasons, because they hosted the AFC West (Denver in 2019, the Chargers in 2018) in Buffalo.  This is why we get the (honor?) of playing at KC for two consecutive seasons.

 

And with the 2023 season bringing the full AFC West into the rotation again - that calls for the game to be in KC as well.  So from 2020 onwards, the schedule has looked like...

 

2020 Regular Season: @BUF

2020 AFC Championship: @KC

2021 Regular Season: @KC

2021 AFC Divisional: @KC

2022 Regular Season: @KC

2023 Regular Season: @KC

No kidding and that's the point.

 

The Bills/Chiefs game was not 'the real SB' and both fanbases need to accept that and move on.

By whose dictum, yours?  If fans want to feel the Chiefs/Bills were better than the Bengals so what.  I personally think the Chiefs/Bills were better than the Bengals, especially after watching the Super Bowl and no, I do not have to "move on".  I think the Chiefs were psychologically worn out after the last bills game is why they lost to Cinci.  A fresh Bills team would have been better than either team I saw last night,
