How to Bet Early
There is betting early and betting too early. Making a bet only days after the Super Bowl for the following year is unquestionably too early. There is a free agency period that begins this year on March 13th where teams can sign as many free agents as the salary cap will allow.
Some teams may be handcuffed by the salary cap as they are already at or near the ceiling and only able to sign a few complementary or role players. Regardless, this is a pivotal time of the year as the entire complexion of a team can change with a few key signings.
The next critical point in the offseason is the annual NFL Draft. This year we will see the parade of incoming rookies occurring on April 25th through the 27th. Teams will see their futures dictated by their selections over these three days and it is always wise to wait until after the draft before plunking any money down on a team to take home the hardware in February.
The final key date is after the preseason has ended. Many sharps wait until then to make sure that none of the stars have been injured before playing a regular-season snap. Imagine betting on the Buffalo Bills to win it all in June only to watch Josh Allen go down with a torn ACL in August. That’s not a wager anyone would want to make, so be cautious and wait for the exhibition slate to conclude before making a season-long bet.
What About Super Bowl LIX?
After perusing the NFL odds above, it did strike us as a bit odd that the 49ers (+500) are the very early favorite after bowing only days ago to the Chiefs (+750). Perhaps there is speculation over Travis Kelce’s future and whether he will hang up his cleats to become Taylor Swift’s favorite groupie. Thus, another good reason to wait until September draws closer.
As for next year’s Super Bowl, as long as Patrick Mahomes remains healthy, so too do the Chiefs’ chances of challenging for yet another Super Bowl crown. However, experts believe that Kansas City should focus on a premier wide receiver. Their current No. 1 is the team’s 2024 second-round pick, Rashee Rice.
The SMU product enjoyed a solid rookie campaign but he is much better suited as a No. 2 wide receiver. However, Patrick Mahomes is so elite, that he was able to win it all surrounded by offensive weapons that weren’t all that exceptional, except of course for Kelce.
Predictions
Elite Category: Buffalo Bills (+1200) – Josh Allen can smell a Super Bowl and it won’t be long before he brings one home to the Bills Mafia and the long-suffering Buffalo fans.
Contender Category: Texans (+2500) – C. J. Stroud was the second overall pick last year but played like a battle-tested veteran whose superior athletic ability was on display for the world to see. Is it too early for the young gunslinger to lead the Texans to a Lombardi? Probably, but at +2500 it’s worth a shot.
Pretender Category: Browns (+5000) – There is plenty of talent on the defensive side of the ball in Cleveland and if Deshaun Watson can stay healthy and rekindle the magic from his early days in Houston then the Browns could become a Cinderella story in 2024.
Long Shot Category: Broncos (+10,000) – Even if we had a strong hunch, we wouldn’t bet a bunch on the Broncos but Denver has bits and pieces of a team that could improve immensely next season.
