The NFL is in the midst of training camp, and that means that we're going to get some fun stories, and some tragic ones when players suffer injuries.

Unfortunately for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, center Ryan Jensen went down with a knee injury that will cause him to miss significant time, if not the entire 2022 season.

That's caused a shift in the Super Bowl odds this season, as the Bucs are no longer the sole favorite to win the title.

There was also plenty of contract news this week, from Kyler Murray's game study clause that was taken away, to DK Metcalf staying in Seattle for the long haul. The NFL season is almost here, and I think we're all starting to feel it.

Each week at BetSided, yours truly is breaking down the latest roster moves, injuries and more in our NFL Power Rankings. It's never too early to consider your Super Bowl futures, so without further ado, here's my latest power rankings based on the odds at WynnBET Sportsbook to win it all in 2022.

1. Buffalo Bills (+600)

The Bills have moved into a tie with the Buccaneers for the shortest odds to win the Super Bowl following Ryan Jensen's injury.

2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+600)

The Buccaneers aren't done, but losing Jensen is a major loss for the team's running game. Tom Brady will need to build a rapport with youngster Robert Hainsey.

3. Los Angeles Rams (+1000)

The Rams could get a big year of Allen Robinson, which makes them even more dangerous in the NFC.

4. Kansas City Chiefs (+1000)

The Chiefs are going to be in a battle for the AFC West, but can you count Patrick Mahomes out? I don't think so.

5. Green Bay Packers (+1000)

The Packers are definitely winners from the Bucs losing Jensen, as Green Bay has an easy division which could have them back in the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

6. Los Angeles Chargers (+1600)

The Chargers are one of the best teams in the AFC and would likely be even higher if they didn't have to play in the Chiefs' division.

7. Dallas Cowboys (+1600)

Does Dak Prescott have enough to lead the Cowboys to a top seed in the NFC? The door is certainly open, but the Eagles are going to make the NFC East interesting.

8. Denver Broncos (+1600)

The Broncos are going to ride Russell Wilson in 2022, and he should be a big enough of an upgrade to get them into the playoffs.

9. Baltimore Ravens (+2000)

The Ravens are my pick for a bounce-back season, and I think they win the AFC North in 2022.

10. Cincinnati Bengals (+2000)

The Bengals have moved from +2500 to +2000, which I think is a more accurate price given their improvements this offseason.

11. San Francisco 49ers (+1800)

George Kittle has been giving Trey Lance some props this offseason, and the 49ers' preseason action will be fun to watch with the young quarterback taking the reins.

12. Philadelphia Eagles (+2000)

Jalen Hurts and the Eagles are looking to make it two straight trips to the playoffs in 2022.

13. Indianapolis Colts (+2500)

I'm not as high on the Colts as our own Iain MacMillan (resident Matt Ryan stan), but I think they have a leg up on the AFC South this season.

14. Las Vegas Raiders (+4000)

The Raiders' odds seem way too long, as they did make the playoffs in the AFC West last season. Even with Denver and L.A.'s improvements, Vegas can't be slept on.

15. Arizona Cardinals (+3000)

The Cardinals' odds have gone from +4000 to +3000, and they've gotten rid of the Kyler Murray independent study clause in his new contract. We'll see if that just blows over this offseason.

16. New England Patriots (+4000)

Bill Belichick praising and improved Mac Jones? Don't sleep on the Pats as a playoff team.

17. Miami Dolphins (+2500)

The Dolphins have much shorter odds than the Patriots, but I wouldn't bet them over New England right now.

18. New Orleans Saints (+3000)

The Saints have a little more life in the NFC South with the Bucs already dealing with a key injury.

19. Cleveland Browns (+2500)

The Browns are going to need Nick Chubb to have another big year in 2022 if they want to compete for an AFC North title.

20. Tennessee Titans (+3000)

I won't believe in the Titans until I see their passing game actually do something now that Julio Jones and A.J. Brown are gone.

21. Minnesota Vikings (+4000)

Minnesota has been getting some love in the divisional markets from the public, but do they actually have a real shot in the NFC North?

22. Pittsburgh Steelers (+7500)

Kenny Pickett's training camp start has been... not great.

23. Washington Commanders (+7000)

I think the Commanders can be better in 2022, but I wouldn't make them a playoff team.

24. Carolina Panthers (+10000)

Baker Mayfield has to start for the Panthers, right? Don't tell that to Matt Rhule.

25. Jacksonville Jaguars (+10000)

The Jaguars got some good news that James Robinson may be ready to go for the start of the 2022 season.

26. Chicago Bears (+10000)

I hope the Bears actually play well around Justin Fields, but I'm not counting on it in 2022.

27. New York Giants (+10000)

The Giants had a great draft, but nothing will matter if Daniel Jones doesn't play well.

28. New York Jets (+10000)

Does Robert Saleh turn the Jets into a playoff contender in Year 2?

29. Seattle Seahawks (+15000)

Seattle locked up DK Metcalf, which is a good sign for whoever plays quarterback for the team in 2022 and beyond.

30. Detroit Lions (+20000)

The Lions have their win total projection at 6.5, but that still seems high given the talent on the roster and their performance in 2021.

31. Atlanta Falcons (+25000)

The Falcons are going to have a tough time with quarterback questions in an interesting NFC South.

32. Houston Texans (+25000)

Davis Mills and the tanking Texans still have the lowest odds to win the Super Bowl in the league.
