NFL’s Top Super Bowl Contenders For 2021

NFL’s Top Super Bowl Contenders For 2021

Although the NFL season hasn’t started, it’s never too early to look ahead to the Super Bowl and the possible contenders. After an intense season last year and numerous offseason changes, it’s anyone’s guess who the champions this season will be. However, according to the sport’s top analysts and bookmakers around the world, these teams have the best chances to make it happen. 

Kansas City Chiefs: +500

The obvious contender is the Kansas City Chiefs who will get another Super Bowl championship whether it’s this season or the next. Tom Brady was the only thing holding the young talent Patrick Mahomes from winning his second consecutive Super Bowl last season and this year he is returning with most of the key players that brought him to the big game in February. 

The Chiefs have everything they need to be a top contender in 2021. Mahomes is likely the best quarterback in the sport today. Tyreek Hill is one of the best receivers in the league as well and Travis Kelce is a top tight end on a team that knows how to properly utilize the position. 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: +700

As the defending champions, everyone expects the Buccaneers to have what it takes to win the Super Bowl again. According to the Super Bowl winner betting odds, the Buccaneers have +700 odds to win, just behind the Chiefs. Can the Brady-led Buccaneers manage to pull off another Super Bowl victory in 2021?

This team is heavily dependent on the now 43-year old Brady, but he is showing no signs of slowing down and is remarkably durable. The Buccaneers have an excellent pair of receivers in Chris Godwin and Mike Evans who is coming off a 1000 yard, 13 touchdown season. They also have one of the best offensive lines in the league which will help keep Brady healthy throughout the season. 

Buffalo Bills: +1200

The Bills made a massive statement last season and are one of the most dangerous teams in the league now. On paper, they are better than the Buccaneers but being in the AFC means they will have to go through the Chiefs to make it to the Super Bowl. 

Quarterback Josh Allen has quickly become one of the most promising talents in the league. They also have one of the best receivers in the sport today in Stefon Diggs. Somehow, analysts are only calling him the 5th best receiver despite having the most yards of any receiver last year. Notably, the Bills also went heavy on defensive players in the draft this year which should make their defense as formidable as their offense. The Bills could be serious contenders this season. 

Baltimore Ravens: +1500

Lamar Jackson and the Ravens have been biding their time. The team has everything they need to win a championship and sooner or later they are going to make it happen. Heading into the 2021 season, they look better than ever.

To give Jackson some more weapons, the team picked up dynamic receiver Sammy Watkins in the offseason. They also used their 27th overall draft pick to select receiver Rashad Bateman. Also, the team will likely have the best rushing attack again this season with Gus Edwards and JK Dobbins. 

Green Bay Packers: +1500

Of all the teams on this list, the Packers are the one that could either greatly exceed expectations or fall far short. There has been too much offseason uncertainty, especially with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. 

Their star quarterback has publicly stated that he doesn’t want to play on this team anymore and management has said they are willing to let him go in 2022. This does not bode well for season. That being said, Rodgers and receiver Davante Adams were an electrifying duo and Adams returned 1374 yards and 18 touchdowns. 

One positive note for the Packers is that running back Aaron Jones is returning for the team after agreeing to a 4-year, $48 million extension. This a huge bonus for the Packers as Jones had another consecutive 1000-yard season and is an important part of their offense.
