It's time to start putting in your Super Bowl bets. We have just four weeks left before the playoffs begin, and the odds for the favorites are going to continue to get worse from a betting perspective. You may not get the best bang for your buck if you don't place a bet now! We've been doing this column for four weeks now, and we have our first new team in the top 10! Come on down, Justin Herbert!
The Kansas City Chiefs (+550) were the early favorite to win the 2022 Super Bowl, according to Caesars Sportsbook. The Green Bay Packers (+900), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+1100), Baltimore Ravens (+1200), Buffalo Bills (+1200) and Los Angeles Rams (+1300) followed them. Things have changed in a big way since then. Here's a breakdown of the 10 teams that currently own the shortest odds to win Super Bowl LVI, which will take place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on Sunday, Feb. 13, 2022.

The Buccaneers have seen their odds change yet again following their 33-27 overtime win over the Bills. While the Bucs allowed Buffalo to mount an exciting comeback, it didn't do anything to change the perception of Tampa. Tom Brady now has the most wins, completions, passing yards and touchdowns of any player in NFL history, and he's now 107-1 in his career when leading by 21 or more points. His former team in the Patriots saw their odds get shorter as well despite being on a bye week. The No. 1 seed in the AFC has the fourth-best Super Bowl odds. They have a big matchup against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday night.
We also had some fallers this week. The Bills were one, as they are now hanging onto their playoff hopes by a thread. Josh Allen became the fourth quarterback in NFL history to have 300 passing and 100 rushing yards, but still, this team wasn't able to find the win column. That's now two straight losses for the team that was up nine points on the Chiefs in the AFC Championship game last year. The big faller this week was the Ravens. In fact, they are the first team to fall out of our top 10 in four weeks. While Baltimore still holds the division lead, John Harbaugh's boys have lost two straight games and Lamar Jackson is not playing well. He also exited Sunday's matchup early due to an ankle injury. It seems as though it's hard to trust anyone in the AFC North when it comes to potentially winning the Super Bowl.
With the Ravens out, in come the Chargers! The Chargers are the most formidable wild card team in the conference, and have a chance to take a division lead with a win over the Chiefs on Thursday. While L.A. has been pretty unpredictable at times this season, I agree with the Chargers moving into the top 10. Truth be told, I think their odds should be closer to those of the Bills.
