NFL Power Rankings Based on Super Bowl Odds (Does Baker Mayfield Make Panthers a Playoff Team?)
By Peter Dewey
It's been a interesting week in the NFL, as Baker Mayfield is now a Carolina Panther after the Cleveland Browns traded him for a conditional fifth-round pick.
Not only that, but a few contenders are seeing their odds shift ahead of the 2022 season.
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 (+650)
The Bills keep their No. 1 spot in our Power Rankings, but there are several teams that could push them for this spot.
2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+600)
The Buccaneers have a little more competition in the NFC South, but they are still the Super Bowl favorites.
3. Los Angeles Rams (+1000)
The defending Super Bowl champs log another week in the top 3.
4. Kansas City Chiefs (+1000)
The Chiefs may be a value at this spot, and I'm intrigued to see Skyy Moore and Patrick Mahomes in 2022.

5. Green Bay Packers (+1000)
Aaron Rodgers got a tattoo this week, but it didn't move the Packers' Super Bowl odds.

6. Los Angeles Chargers (+1600)
This could be the year Justin Herbert goes from a regular season phenom to a playoff hero.
7. Denver Broncos (+1600)
The Broncos' odds have moved from +2000 to +1600 over the past two weeks... what does Vegas know?!
8. Dallas Cowboys (+1600)
Dallas is the favorite in the NFC East, but the Eagles are right on their tail ahead of training camp.
9. Baltimore Ravens (+2000)
I think Lamar Jackson and the Ravens are the team to beat in the AFC North if they stay healthy.
10. Cincinnati Bengals (+2500)
The Bengals aren't getting much respect in the futures market after making the Super Bowl, but they have a tough division to navigate in 2022.
11. Philadelphia Eagles (+2000)
The Eagles should be around 10-7 in 2022, and they are a sneaky team to win the NFC East.
12. San Francisco 49ers (+1800)
I'm not sold on the 49ers at this price, but Trey Lance could be a surprise in 2022.
13. Indianapolis Colts (+2500)
The Colts' odds have dropped from +2000 to +2500 since last week's edition.
14. Las Vegas Raiders (+4000)
The Raider may be one of the best values in the AFC considering they made the playoffs last year and added Davante Adams in the offseason.
15. Arizona Cardinals (+4000)
The Cardinals will have to stay afloat without DeAndre Hopkins to have a shot to make the playoffs.
16. New England Patriots (+4000)
After moving to +3000 last week, the Patriots have dropped to +4000 in the odds to win the Super Bowl.
17. New Orleans Saints (+3000)
Life just got a little tougher for the Saints in the NFC South now that Mayfield is with the Panthers.
18. Cleveland Browns (+2500)
It's looking like Jacoby Brissett could be the Browns' quarterback with the Deshaun Watson situation still ongoing.
19. Tennessee Titans (+3000)
The Titans are going to be a really one-dimensional offense unless rookie Treylon Burks makes an immediate impact.
20. Miami Dolphins (+5000)
The hype around the Dolphins has cooled off after the Tyreek Hill trade boosted their odds this offseason.
21. Minnesota Vikings (+4000)
The Panthers may enter the playoff conversation in the NFC, which is a bad sign for a borderline team like Minnesota.
22. Pittsburgh Steelers (+7500)
The Steelers could be a dark horse team if their quarterback play holds up.
23. Washington Commanders (+7500)
The Commanders have locked up Terry McLaurin for the long term and now have moved from +10000 to +7500 to win the Super Bowl.
24. Jacksonville Jaguars (+10000)
I may be higher on the Jaguars than most, but the Trevor Lawrence should thrive with competent coaching in Year 2.
25. Carolina Panthers (+10000)
The Panthers' odds haven't moved, but they are at least trying to make the playoffs by trading for Baker Mayfield.
26. Chicago Bears (+10000)
The Bears haven't given Justin Fields much help on offense, but he could take the next step to improve this team in 2022.
27. New York Giants (+10000)
Daniel Jones could make himself a good amount of money by succeeding in Brian Daboll's offense.
28. New York Jets (+10000)
The Jets have seen some surprising movement, going from +12500 to +10000 as training camp approaches.
29. Seattle Seahawks (+15000)
The Seahawks chose to let the Baker Mayfield sweepstakes pass them by. Only time will tell if they made the right decision.
30. Detroit Lions (+20000)
The Lions are no longer tied for last in the odds to win the Super Bowl. It's a small win this offseason for Dan Campbell's upstart group.
31. Atlanta Falcons (+25000)
The faith in the Atlanta Falcons continues to dwindle in Vegas, as they've moved to +25000 to win the Super Bowl.
32. Houston Texans (+25000)
The Texans' odds are even longer, moving from +20000 to +25000 over the last week.
