Top 10 favorites for Super Bowl 58: Who stops the Chiefs repeat?

2. Super Bowl 58 Favorites – San Francisco 49ers

It certainly feels like the team most overdue for a title is the 49ers, who have navigated some of the league’s worst injury luck to reach three NFC Championship games and one Super Bowl over the past four years. San Francisco’s roster is loaded with skill-position talent and an elite defense, which should help them lord over an NFC West that is in rapid decline with the Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals falling off significantly in 2022.

The one major question that the 49ers have is at quarterback, where late-season hero Brock Purdy will likely compete with Trey Lance for the starting job with Jimmy Garoppolo set to depart in free agency. Head coach Kyle Shanahan should get the most out of whoever is under center, however, and a bigger swing at the position could make San Francisco the top contender to win Super Bowl 58.

1. Super Bowl 58 Favorites – Philadelphia Eagles

GM Howie Roseman did a masterful job assembling the roster that helped the Eagles reach Super Bowl 58 and this team is far from done. Philadelphia has the deepest talent base on the lines in the league, which should lead to sustainable success, and Roseman is holding the 10th overall pick in this year’s draft (in addition to the Eagles’ own first-rounder) thanks to a savvy draft-day deal with the New Orleans Saints a year ago.

That pick, combined with a roster that doesn’t need much fine-tuning, leaves Philadelphia well-positioned to contend for a Super Bowl title next season. The fact that the Eagles could be in position to become the NFC’s most dominant franchise with a largely different roster than the one that won Super Bowl 52 is incredible and should serve as a model of team-building that the other 31 teams can learn from in the future.
