As all 32 National football league teams report to their training camps every one of them are hopeful this is their year.
For most, it’s not.
In fact, only one of the 32 National Football League teams will win it all in Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium on February 8. This does not preclude the other 31 opening their season with high hopes. But in reality, five teams have the best chance at collecting the Vince Lombardi Trophy and a handful of other squads not opening the season among the favorites have a legitimate shot at winning it all.
By the numbers, since the 2017 season there have been eight Super Bowls played and only seven different teams have participated in them. The Kansas City Chiefs have won three while participating in five. Behind them as multiple Super Bowl Participants are the Philadelphia Eagles, New England Patriots, Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers. The Eagles have participated in three, won two. The Patriots and Rams have split their two appearances, and the 49ers lost both theirs. The other two teams that appeared once during the past eight seasons are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cincinnati Bengals. The Buccaneers played the Chiefs in their quest for the Vince Lombardi Trophy and succeeded with Tom Brady at quarterback. The Bengals lost to the Rams in Super Bowl LVI.
In other words, when it is all said and done the Super Bowl is usually played and won by the same teams the books list as their favorites before the season starts. This year, the five teams the books favor are the Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions. The books are willing to take a wager that includes those five teams against the field.
