Recent Super Bowl favorite
A well-known face is back as the category of the league.
The defending Super Bowl champion Eagles have reclaimed favorite status after a powerful win over the guy contender Lions on Sunday night.
Philadelphia is now +500 to repeat, just ahead of the Rams (+550) at FanDuel Sportsbook.
The Bills (+850) and Colts (+950) are the one other teams with odds higher than 10/1.
The confusing Chiefs

Despite their so-so record, the Chiefs still have the fourth-best odds (+1000) to win the Super Bowl.
But, at the identical time, they aren’t a sure thing to make the postseason.

The Chiefs are a 3.5-point favorite on Sunday against the Colts in Kansas City.
Nevertheless, that ought to say a ton in regards to the Chiefs’ prospects this season going forward.
Pass rusher history
Myles Garrett is having himself a hell of a season.

He’ll need just eight sacks over the Browns’ final seven games to set the mark.
