Even with Super Bowl LVII ending less than 24 hours prior, bookmakers wasted little time unveiling odds for the 2023 season, which wraps up at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
It will be quite a spectacle for the Entertainment Capital of the World after recently hosting the NFL Draft in 2022.
The setting will be familiar for a Chiefs team that travels annually to the venue to take on the Raiders for divisional games.

Quarterback uncertainty creates value on the betting board
The Chiefs will begin the season as defending champions after winning a second title following a third trip to the Super Bowl in the past four seasons.
As a result, it’s no surprise that the Chiefs have the shortest odds on the board at +600. Buffalo has the second-shortest odds at +850 despite not even making it to the AFC Championship.
After a valiant Super Bowl effort in their 38-35 loss to the Chiefs, the Eagles are priced at +900. Cincinnati and San Francisco join Philadelphia with odds at +900.
The Ravens might be a popular pick at +1600, as their team is somewhat built like the Eagles, given their strong defense and running game.
And if the Chargers can ever sort things out defensively, they’ll be worth a look at +2000. The Jaguars, Lions and Jets all showed tremendous improvement this season and are priced at +2500.
Other notable teams include the Dolphins (+3000), Packers (+3500), Broncos (+3500) and Vikings (+4000).
The critical thing to take note of this offseason will be the game of musical chairs at the quarterback position.
Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson has yet to secure a long-term contract, while Green Bay could look to part ways with Aaron Rodgers if they can find a trade partner.
Rodgers might have a potential suitor in the New York Jets. However, the Raiders might also be interested, as Derek Carr isn’t expected to return.
And then there’s the Dolphins, who got off to a 3-0 start but saw injuries to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa hamstring their season.
Tagovailoa suffered multiple concussions and missed the final three games of the Dolphins’ campaign.
One positive is that we’re seeing some of the younger quarterbacks in the league come to the forefront. The league looks to be in stable hands following the retirement of the seven-time Super Bowl winner, Tom Brady.
The reality is that this betting board has plenty of value, and I wouldn’t rule out another team having a similar climb to the top, just as we saw with the Philadelphia Eagles.
