It’s highly unlikely that we will see a rematch of Super Bowl 56. That game featured the L.A. Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals. Both teams are struggling to stay above .500 this season and we are halfway through. Both teams just don’t look very good at all.
In case you didn’t know Super Bowl 57 is being played in Arizona on February 12, 2023. It’s highly unlikely that it will feature the team which calls that stadium home, the Arizona Cardinals. This is also a team which is underperforming and cannot maintain a record above .500
The favorites right now to be in that game are the Philadelphia Eagles from the NFC and the Buffalo Bills from the AFC. Online sportsbooks have the Bills favored at +240 and the Eagles are listed at +540 odds. But the purpose of this article is to look at some underdog picks that can truly make it to the big game.
The Miami Dolphins beat the Buffalo Bills and are the only team to do so. Miami’s three losses came while starting QB Tua Tagovailoa was injured. When he plays the entire game they are 4-0 this season. The Dolphins are way down at +2800 and would make for an excellent payout.
The Vikings may not seem like sleepers at 6-1 but they are truly being overlooked by the so-called experts. They are 10th on the odds sheet at +1700 odds. This team is really firing on all cylinders and their patience with QB Kirk Cousins is really paying off.
Our final sleeper team is the New Orleans Saints at +6600 odds. Now that the team has committed to starting Andy Dalton at QB, he is really settling into his role. He is to manage the game while the other star pieces pile on the points. Taysom Hill and Alvin Kamara are big time players and the Saints can ride them into the postseason.
