Week 11 has wrapped up and we’re inching closer to the postseason arriving for the NFL. There are several teams in the hunt to take home the Lombardi Trophy, with things only heating up. In this piece, we have NFL futures picks for 2021 with the Bucs as Super Bowl favourites. Will Tom Brady be able to get the job done again this campaign for ring No. 8?
Tampa Bay has the No. 1 odds to win the Super Bowl this winter
As you might have been able to guess, Tampa Bay has the No. 1 odds to win the Super Bowl this winter. Tampa Bay is now 7-3 on the season following a win over the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. As expected, Tom Brady was fantastic, as the veteran signal-caller is only getting better with age. Defensively, the Bucs are strong too.
Tampa Bay won it all last year and they really looked impressive in doing so. No one gave them a chance to win the title, but Tampa Bay went on to shock the NFL world. Now, the Bucs are hoping they can get the job done again, but it sure is going to be tough. Brady has won seven Super Bowl titles, winning six with New England and then the one with Tampa Bay last season.
| AFC odds |  |  |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bills to win | 3.20 | 3.20 | 3.20 | 3.20 |
| Ravens to win | 5.60 | 5.60 | 5.60 | 5.60 |
| Chiefs to win | 7.00 | 7.00 | 7.00 | 7.00 |
| Titans to win | 9.50 | 9.50 | 9.50 | 9.50 |
Per the best Canadian sportsbooks, Tampa Bay holds 7.00 odds to win the Super Bowl in early February. There are of course other teams in the hunt, with Kansas City, Los Angeles Rams, Arizona, Buffalo and Dallas all hoping to try and dethrone the Bucs as the champions. From our chair, it’s going to be tough for Tampa Bay to win it all.
That’s because they’ve showcased plenty of inconsistent play thus far this fall. Despite being the favourites, we think that it will end up being Kansas City who wins it all. The Chiefs dominated Dallas in Week 11 and reminded folks of how special they can be when they’re firing on all cylinders. That’s right, the Chiefs are our pick to go on and win the Super Bowl.
Patrick Mahomes will lead the Chiefs to the AFC title and win the Super Bowl
Indeed, we think Patrick Mahomes will lead the Chiefs to the AFC title and win the Super Bowl this season. Mahomes and Co. are riding high right now after that impressive showing going up against Dallas. Despite experiencing some ups and downs of their own, the Chiefs are 7-4 this season and the defence has really stepped its game up.
This was showcased in the win over the Cowboys, holding Dak Prescott and Co. to only nine points in the 19-9 victory. Moving forward, the defence will be ready to keep things going hot, but the offence will also need to get going. Fortunately for Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid, star running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire returned from injury. His play will be massive moving forward.
With Edwards-Helaire back, it’s really only going to keep helping the offence get on track. Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce and others are fired up to keep making plays as well. As things stand, the Chiefs have 4.30 NFL betting odds to win the AFC and then go on to play in the Super Bowl. Right behind them are the Buffalo Bills at 5.00. We think the Chiefs will win the AFC and the Super Bowl. Check out our NFL betting sites to place a wager if you agree.
Can the Packers stun the NFC and get back to the Super Bowl?
A question folks have on their minds is can the Packers stun the NFC and get back to the Super Bowl? It’s not going to be easy for Green Bay, especially after they suffered a tough loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. While Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams put on a show in the defeat, the defence simply couldn’t stop the Minnesota offence.
With that said, Rodgers remains one of the best quarterbacks in the game and we have all the faith in him to get the job done, especially after losing to the Bucs in the NFC Championship Game last season. The Packers hold 5.90 odds to win the NFC and play in the Super Bowl, which is behind the Bucs, Cardinals and Rams. Despite that, we are going with Green Bay as our pick. We’ve got that much faith in Rodgers to ball out.
