Seven teams with shot to win Super Bowl LVII Bills Eagles Chiefs Cowboys set up to hoist Lombardi Trophy
Seven weeks of the NFL season have pa sed, typically the point of the season where the contenders and pretenders start to separate themselves from the pack. There are so many teams that still have a shot at a playoff berth this early in the season, making it difficult to find the ones that don't have a chance at winning the Super Bowl.Even with all the parity in the NFL -- half the league has three or four wins through seven weeks -- some teams have emerged from the pack as early frontrunners to win Super Bowl LVII. Only two teams have six wins through seven weeks, and both reside in the NFC East. Seven teams in the league have five-plus wins through seven weeks, all of them emerging as credible threats to reach the Super Bowl on Feb. 12.Plenty of teams aren't off to the greatest of starts in 2022, yet must still be considered as Super Bowl contenders based on how they're playing. These teams have talented rosters, strong coaching staffs and quarterbacks good enough to take their teams on deep playoff runs.Who are the "Super Seven," or the seven teams that have put themselves in contention for a Super Bowl run through seven weeks of the season? Here are the seven contenders primed to make a deep playoff run come January.Odds to win Super Bowl LVII: +270The Bills are loaded on both sides of the ball, starting with the MVP frontrunner in . He's on pace for 5,610 pa sing yards and 48 touchdowns while leading the Josh Tomlin Jersey second-ranked scoring offense and top-ranked offense in yards per game. The Bills also have the top scoring defense and top defense in yards allowed per game, showcasing their strength on both sides of the ball.Buffalo beat the Kansas City Chiefs Brandon Guyer Jersey in Week 5, setting the stage to earn home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs, making teams travel to Orchard Park in January (where the Bills have won six straight games). Buffalo also ended the streak of losing one-score games, beating the Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens -- two top AFC contenders this season.Buffalo is the best team in the AFC. The roster is primed to make the Super Bowl. Odds to win Super Bowl LVII: +500The last unbeaten team in the NFL this season, the Eagles are deep acro s the board. is having an MVP-caliber season, leading an offense that is fourth in scoring and fifth in yards per game. Philadelphia also has just two giveaways through six games, having a NFL-leading plus-12 turnover margin.The defense may be better than the offense, as Philadelphia ranks fourth in points allowed yards allowed per game. The Eagles have an NFL-leading 14 takeaways as 23.8% of their opponents' drives end in an offensive score (which also leads the NFL). Philadelphia is the first team not to trail in the second half through six games since the 2019 , using dominant second quarters to pull away from opponents.The Eagles have been tested by two five-win teams and came out on top. They stand as the top Super Bowl contender in the NFC. Odds to win Super Bowl LVII: +700Even though the Chiefs lost to the Bills in Week 5, Kansas City should never be counted out of Super Bowl contention with Andy Reid as head coach and at quarterback. The Chiefs have made it to the conference title game in all four years Mahomes and Reid have been together.The Chiefs are No. 1 in the NFL in scoring offense, generating 40-plus points three times in 2022 (no other team has scored 40-plus points more than once). The offense is getting better by the week with a deep pa s-catching group led by , and .Kansas City's pa s defense is one of the worst in the NFL, ranking 30th in pa s yards per game and 32nd in pa s touchdowns allowed. While the defense is 25th in points and yards allowed per game, Reid-coached teams typically don't hit their stride until the second half of the year. The Chiefs are always a contender to go deep into January.Odds to win Super Bowl LVII: +1800The Cowboys defense is elite, ranking second in points allowed per game as they are led by a pa s rush that leads the league in sacks (29) and pre sures (113). Dallas has terrorized opposing offenses, Carlos Baerga Jersey allowing under 20 points to six of its seven opponents.Getting back is going to significantly help an offense that is 22nd in points scored and 29th in yards per game. The Cowboys don't have a strong offensive line and mi s at wide receiver, but the offense has done just enough to put up enough points and pull off wins.As long as the Cowboys defense plays at an elite level, Dallas will compete for a Super Bowl. Don't let their current NFC playoff seeding (No. 6) mislead how good the Cowboys actually are. Odds to win Super Bowl LVII: +2200The Bengals appear to be back, thanks to the incredible hot streak is on. Burrow has been on an absolute tear the past five weeks, Manny Ramirez Jersey completing 71.3% of his pa ses for 1,560 yards with 12 touchdowns to one interception (117.2 rating). Not surprisingly the Bengals are 4-1 in that stretch and have emerged as a contender in the conference again.Cincinnati needs to get going running the football (28th in yards per game), yet there isn't many holes on this roster. The Bengals are seventh in points allowed per game and 11th in yards allowed per game, and have a defense that continues to get pre sure on the quarterback even if the sack totals aren't there yet.The Bengals will be tested in the home stretch of their season, and Burrow's play will dictate how good they are. Odds to win Super Bowl LVII: +1800Sure, the Ravens have blown three double-digit leads this season, which have led to their three lo ses, hasn't been playing well the last few weeks and the defense has looked discombobulated at times. Yet Baltimore leads the AFC North and still has one of the top rosters in the league.The Ravens have allowed just 21 points per Larry Doby Jersey game over the past four weeks, making up for an inconsistent offense that has played a significant role in those two blown fourth-quarter leads. Jackson isn't going to be in a slump all season and the addition of to an already potent run offense will pay dividends in the second half of the year.The Ravens still have Jackson at quarterback, John Harbaugh as head coach and a very favorable second-half schedule. They're set to make a run in the AFC. Odds to win Super Bowl LVII: +1600Time to put some respect on the Vikings' name. This team has taken advantage of a favorable schedule to start the year, but they're finding ways to win games. Minnesota has an excellent special teams unit that has the team leading the NFL in average starting field position and opponents' average starting field position, masking a defense that's 27th in yards allowed and 28th in pa s yards per game allowed.Can the Vikings capitalize on the 5-1 start? They have a commanding lead in a poor NFC North with three division games remaining. The -to- connection is stronger than ever and Minnesota has the star power to capitalize on its tough interdivisional schedule with the NFC East and AFC East.Kevin O'Connell -- a first year coach -- and his offense will grow as the season progre ses. The Vikings may not be on the level as these other contenders, but Minnesota is no pushover either. That No. 2 seed in the NFC may have some weight come January.
