Buffalo Bills vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers +1700

Why Bills And Buccaneers Are Favored

NFL betting fans are likely leaning on this matchup based on offseason moves of rival teams. The Bills lost in overtime to the Kansas City Chiefs during the playoffs and the Chiefs lost their primary WR in Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins.

Hill led the team in receiving yards and TDs during the 2021-2022 NFL season. Hill finished the year with 1,239 total yards, nine TDs (tied with Travis Kelce), 159 targets, and 75 receiving first downs.

Hill was clearly a big part of that Chiefs’ offenses and sportsbooks likely believe that without him, the Bills are finally good enough to beat their now rivals in Kansas City.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers nearly sealed a comeback victory against the eventual Super Bowl Champion Las Angeles Rams during their playoff matchup. QB Tom Brady deciding to retire, and then ultimately unretire saw the Bucs’ odds shorten drastically.

The Buccaneers being favored alongside Buffalo to make the Super Bowl is likely due to the Tom Brady effect. Brady sees most action and has made it to the Super Bowl 10 times in his career.

Historically, betting on Tom Brady to make the Super Bowl has been more profitable than betting against him.

The Kansas City Chiefs facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers having the second shortest odds is no surprise. Sports betting fans are essentially banking on either the Bills or the Chiefs to win the AFC and face the Buccaneers.

Tampa has +320 odds to win the NFC while the Bills have +350 odds to win the AFC and the Chiefs have +500 odds to win the AFC.

The defending Super Bowl Champions Los Angeles Rams and the Green Bay Packers both see +500 odds to win the NFC, which explains why their matchups against the Bills or the Chiefs see identical odds.

The Packers are coming off of a disappointing 10-13 home loss in the Divisional Round against the San Francisco 49ers. The Packers also lost their top receiver in Davante Adams.

Adams finished the season with 1,553 and 11 TDs. His departure from the team should make things ore difficult for reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers.

Betting on the Packers to be in a Super Bowl matchup against either the Chiefs or the Bills is a real risk without seeing the team post Adams.

The Rams are returning with a lot of their championship team. This includes Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp and defensive juggernaut Aaron Donald.

The Rams did lose linebacker Von Miller to the Buffalo Bills, making their seemingly impenetrable defense slightly weaker.

Betting on either of these teams early will run a slight risk, but these odds are the most profitable they could be and early bettors could wind up big winners leaning in on these exact matchups.
