Here are some more notes on the movement of the top contenders for Super Bowl 53:
- [01/29/18] Heavy money has been coming in on New England to win the 2019 Super Bowl, resulting in their odds getting shorter and shorter
- [12/31/18] The Saints enter the NFL Playoffs with the best odds to win the Super Bowl; the Eagles have the worst
- [12/11/18] A Rams loss to the Bears on MNF of Week 14 has resulted in the Saints being favored again
- [12/4/18] After a Saints loss to the Cowboys on TNF in Week 13, the Rams are again Super Bowl favorites
- [11/20/18] The New Orleans Saints have claimed the title of Super Bowl favorites
- [11/13/18] The Patriots are not among the top three contenders for the first time this year
- [11/06/18] The Rams remain Super Bowl favorites even after losing to the New Orleans Saints in Week 9

Top AFC Super Bowl Contenders
Since the Patriots defeated the Chiefs, 43-40, on Sunday Night Football of Week 6, New England remained the favorite among AFC teams to win Super Bowl 53 until Week 10.
The Chiefs were favored the rest of the way, except for the week following Week 13.
AFC East
The New England Patriots have now represented the AFC in four of the last five Super Bowls, winning three of them.
The Buffalo Bills were the last non-Patriots AFC East team to play in a Super Bowl, dating back to the 1993 season (Super Bowl 28) when they lost in their fourth consecutive appearance.
The Bills, New York Jets, or Miami Dolphins made their intentions clear, though, this season: they don’t want to compete against Brady anymore, opting to rebuild for his retirement.
AFC North
Betting sites strongly believed the Pittsburgh Steelers would claim their third straight AFC North title when odds opened. The most interesting story in the division, though, was the heightened expectations of the Cleveland Browns entering the season.
The Browns did not have the longest odds to win the Super Bowl in the division to open the season, as that honor went to the Cincinnati Bengals. It didn’t take long for things to change back to normal, though.
AFC South
Only one team in the AFC South has ever won a Super Bowl: the Indianapolis Colts.
All seven other divisions have at least two Super Bowl-winning teams. But both the Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans appear to be taking the proper steps towards changing that.
AFC West
Of the eight divisions, the AFC West was expected to be the most competitive in 2018. But a red hot Kansas City Chiefs team and some awful performances from the Raiders and Broncos certainly changed that.
One interesting note on the Raiders: since moving back to Oakland (from Los Angeles) in 1995, the franchise has not won a Super Bowl and has only made the playoffs four times in those 24 years.
Top NFC Super Bowl Contenders
The NFC race looked very interesting after the Los Angeles Rams suffered their first loss of the season in New Orleans. The Saints pulled awfully close to the Rams, while the Vikings, Panthers, and Eagles all remained threats early in the season.
That changed quickly, though, as the Vikings and Panthers quickly fell out of legitimate contention.
NFC East
The NFC East can thank the Philadelphia Eagles for winning their first Super Bowl last season, which gave the division the great honor of being the first with four Super Bowl winners.
NFC North
The Vikings and Packers have not entered into a two-team race in the NFC North as we all expected. Instead, the Bears led the division, as the Packers and Vikings both missed the playoffs.
NFC South
The NFC South sent three teams to the 2017 NFL Playoffs, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers serving as the odd-man out. This looked like it could be the case again in 2018, but the Panthers and Falcons fell out of contention quickly over the second half of the season.
The New Orleans Saints joined the Carolina Panthers as the only teams to repeat as NFC South champions. The Panthers won it three years in a row, though, from 2013-2015.
NFC West
For the first time since 2012, the Seattle Seahawks did not open the season with the shortest average odds to win the Super Bowl among NFC West teams.
Seattle dismantled the defense they have hung their hat on over the last seven years, but the unit still performed at a great level. Russell Wilson made just enough plays to get the Seahawks back into the playoffs in 2018.
