The beginning of May always sees a sharp increase in the noise around the upcoming NFL season owing to the fact that the draft has concluded and it is now for all intents and purposes, game on.
Yes, there are still four months to go before the season commences on September 8th but everyone now has a far better idea of how the 32 teams will line up for the new campaign. So, with this in mind, who has been the most productive in this season’s draft, and more importantly, who stands the best chance of winning the 2023 Super Bowl?
Buffalo Bills
There’s nowhere else to start other than the bookmakers’ current frontrunners, the Buffalo Bills. Indeed, the New York team has been far and away from the most consistent team over the last two NFL seasons but, ultimately, the Bills have been unable to take their regular season form into the playoffs.
In fact, only the Minnesota Vikings have appeared in as many Super Bowl finals without winning the competition, with both the Bills and Vikings having lost the four finals they’ve ever participated in. That could change this season with the Bills at just +700 to win the 2023 finale after addressing their only real weakness by bringing in both Kaiir Elam and James Cook to shore up the cornerback and running back positions respectively.

In short, it was phenomenal business and could ensure that the Bills finally break their Super Bowl hoodoo in 2023.
Baltimore Ravens
At odds of +2200 to win the Super Bowl on February 12th, 2023, the Baltimore Ravens offer NFL bettors one of the best prices of any team this season given how smart they’ve been in the draft by picking 11 of the best players available.
Perhaps somewhat ironically, though, it is the Ravens’ own fans who are currently unable to cash in on these online odds being offered as sports betting is still not yet live in the state. With that being said, affairs are scheduled to change either late this year or early next when residents in the Free State will undoubtedly be presented with a host of Maryland sports betting bonuses as a way of promotion when online betting goes live. For now, Marylanders can use either one of three land casinos that offer retail sportsbooks in order to bet on the Ravens winning the LVII Super Bowl. The odds on the Purple Pain will, of course, be the same at the casinos, and after recruiting the likes of Kyle Hamilton, Tyler Linderbaum, and Travis Jones, the Ravens look one of the most informed choices as they set out to win their first Super Bowl since 2013.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
No NFL prediction piece would be complete without backing the franchise Tom Brady plays for. Admittedly, after a bit of back and forth with regards to his retirement, bettors are within their rights to wonder about how focused the 44-year-old is for the upcoming season, but then again it’s worth taking into account just how impressive the Tampa Bay Buccaneers roster is after the conclusion of the draft.
Let’s get to work, fellas! 💪

Indeed, with smart additions like Zyon McCollum and Rachaad White, the Bucs look well set to make it two Super Bowl victories in three years, and with a preseason price of +750, it seems highly likely that they will go close once again this season.
