Things are really starting to heat up on the American gridiron with plenty of teams still very much in pursuit of a berth in the play-offs. With this NFL season having brought us so many interesting subplots, it appears as though the bookmakers have a few teams in mind for who’s going to actually wind up lifting the Vince Lombardi trophy in February.

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs were able to score an emphatic victory last season and they have been able to handle pretty much everything that’s been thrown at them so far. There’s a lot to like about the team’s style of play and if they can maintain that momentum in the coming weeks then they could wind up pulling off a second league victory on the bounce.
The bookmakers are confident in their ability to go all the way and you’ll find them trading with most major European bookmakers around a 7/4 price at the time of this writing. That is surely higher than they will go off on on the day so if you reckon that Mahomes & co will make it to the big dance, then there’s every reason to start backing them now.
It’s who is actually going to wind up facing off against them that makes the interesting prices pop off the page. Right now, the bookmakers see the closest competitors to be Green Bay and the New Orleans Saints - who both can be backed around a 6/1 or 7/1 margin depending on whom you’re wagering with for the NFL season.
The Buffalo Bills have been a revelation for much of this year and, after many seasons spent in the Football Wilderness, they look to have the right mix to make a deep play-off run. The Buffalo Bills do have the ability to get past Kansas City if they are able to play their best football and their 9/1 price will be appealing to many punters looking for some leverage.
You’ll find Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coming into form at just the right time and they can be backed around a 12/1 or 13/1 price tag while Baltimore and the Seattle Seahawks can all be backed at a solid 15/1 price.
