The 2024 NFL season might still be a few months away, but that doesn’t seem to stop fans and analysts from trying to predict what will happen during the year.
Sportsbooks have already come up with betting lines for several marquee events for the season, including the odds of winning the Super Bowl. Conventional wisdom might indicate that the reigning Super Bowl champions would have an edge on the field.
However, according to many sportsbooks and a recent ESPN article, that does not seem to be the case.
As this article from ESPN indicates, the San Francisco 49ers have the best odds to win the Super Bowl.
The 49ers appeared in the Super Bowl last year, and they seem to be perennial favorites to win their division.
The NFC West has gotten more difficult over the past few years, but the 49ers continue to get better on both sides of the ball as well.
San Francisco’s defense has been their calling card in past seasons, but their offense truly came alive in 2023.
Brock Purdy has helped unlock this team to new heights, and if they build on the success from last year, there’s no telling how high this team’s ceiling is.
Of course, the Kansas City Chiefs have seemed to be their nemesis in the big game, as they have lost to them in their last two Super Bowl appearances.
Can the 49ers finally get over the hump, winning the franchise’s first Super Bowl in more than three decades?
