Super Bowl LVII Predictions After Week 1 NFL
Nothing says football is back like making outlandish claims–and what’s a more outlandish claim than predicting the Super Bowl winner after only the first week of the regular season? While it sounds like a tough task, it’ll be exactly the job I’m taking on after every week of the regular season. That’s right, you’ll be getting a story like this week after week, where I update you all on Super Bowl odds, as well as hand out my best bets to win it all. If you want to check out my Week 2 Best Bets, you can do so there. Remember, the odds I’m using are provided by DraftKings Sportsbook.

Teams I Would Avoid
Tampa Bay Buccaneers +700
Until we know for sure what kind of Tom Brady we’re getting this year, I would avoid the Buccs. They didn’t knock my socks off in their week one win over the Cowboys, and you know what they say about first impressions. While I wouldn’t be surprised if the Buccaneers find success again this season, I just want to see more before I place any future bets on them.
Green Bay Packers +1400
This is kind of the same reasoning as the Buccaneers pick. Aaron Rodgers had a pretty bad game Week One, and the Packers as a whole looked dead against the Vikings. This is another one of those “wait and see” situations, but I sense a lot more “waiting” and a lot less “seeing” with the Packers.
Indianapolis Colts +2800
I’ve been low on the Colts all off-season, and they showed everyone why in week one. I never trusted Matt Ryan, and I truly think they’re one bad injury to Jonathan Taylor away from being irrelevant.
Teams I Would Keep an Eye On
Minnesota Vikings +1800
I know this means less because I just got done dumping on the Packers (who the Vikings beat in week one) but I was very impressed with the Vikings play in week one. So, this all begs the question: could this be the Vikings year? Only time will tell, but I have a good feeling about Kirk Cousins, Dalvin Cook, and Justin Jefferson this year.
Tennessee Titans +5000
A week one loss to the Giants definitely hurt the Titans odds, but I’m taking a page out of the Crypto-guy’s playbook here and I’m buying low. I’m chalking the week one loss up to week one jitters, and I really think the Titans will be in the mix this year.
Official Super Bowl Prediction (After Week One)
The Kansas City Chiefs (+800)
A lot of people wanted to write off Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs this year, but I’ve been a believer since day one of the PREseason, and I saw nothing in Week one that would change my mind. I think this is a great number to get the most electric offense in football at, and I think the Chiefs are going to be one of the best teams in the league this season.
