The 2022 NFL season begins tonight with the Kickoff Game as the Buffalo Bills visit the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams. Could it be a preview of Super Bowl 57 in Arizona? Bettors at Caesars Sportsbook seem to think so from an AFC perspective. Buffalo (+600) has received more than twice as much money to win SB 57 than every other team in the NFL.'The Bills have taken heavy action for this game as well, moving then from an original open of +1 to -2.5.
Many believed the Bills would have won S uper Bowl 56 if they hadn't lost in excruciating fashion in the AFC Divisional Round in Kansas City. Buffalo hasn't been back to the NFL title game since losing it for a record fourth time in a row following the 1993 season. Josh Allen & Co. have gotten more than four times as much money to win the Super Bowl than 22 teams and more than 10 times as much as 12 clubs.
It's not impossible that Buffalo is favored in every game. Could we see a 17-0 season? The Bills have gotten more bets to finish with exactly 17 regular-season wins (+3500) than the rest of the NFL combined and more than 10 times the money compared to the entire rest of the league. Allen is the +700 MVP favorite and has gotten the second-most money at 12.67% behind Chargers QB Justin Herbert (+900) at 12.77%.
Since 2003, the Bills been the most profitable against-the-spread team in Week 1 at 13-6 ATS. However, defending Super Bowl champions like the Rams are 19-3 straight-up in Week 1 this century and have won the past four. Los Angeles is 5-0 SU & ATS in Week 1 games under Coach Sean McVay.
