Super Bowl 54 ~ Miami, Florida

But unless they do something about their defensive woes, there is little to no chance they make it this year either. They will certainly need to do more than just hire Steve Spagnuolo as their new defensive coordinator.
Besides, history gives them a good shot to get there but not win. Since 2001, there have been eight preseason Super Bowl favorites that have gone on to make the big game. Just three of those teams have gone on to win.
2020 Super Bowl odds to win:
Kansas City Chiefs 6-1
New England Patriots 6-1
Los Angeles Rams 8-1
New Orleans Saints 8-1
Indianapolis Colts 12-1
Chicago Bears 14-1
Philadelphia Eagles 14-1
Green Bay Packers 14-1
Cleveland Browns 16-1
Los Angeles Chargers 18-1
Pittsburgh Steelers 18-1
Dallas Cowboys 18-1
Seattle Seahawks 25-1
Minnesota Vikings 25-1
Houston Texans 30-1
Atlanta Falcons 30-1
Baltimore Ravens 40-1
Jacksonville Jaguars 40-1
San Francisco 49ers 50-1
Carolina Panthers 60-1
Oakland Raiders 60-1
New York Jets 80-1
Denver Broncos 80-1
Cincinnati Bengals 100-1
Buffalo Bills 100-1
New York Giants 100-1
Detroit Lions 100-1
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 100-1
Washington Redskins 100-1
Tennessee Titans 100-1
Arizona Cardinals 200-1
Miami Dolphins 500-1
But who will win it?
If you like to go with long odds, the 49ers are an intriguing bet. It will be interesting to see what they can do with a healthy Jimmy Garoppolo for more than just a few games. Their young defense will need to take its game to the next level as well. but if they can, the 49ers could be a legitimate dark horse candidate at 50-1.
Seattle wasn’t supposed to be as good as they were last year. But with a solid young core, if they can continue to get better and improve their run defense, they could be a threat down the road.
It is hard to know with any certainty what the Eagles have. With all the injuries last year it is hard to say just what expectations of a Carson Wentz led offense should be. Baltimore will be tough, but without a legitimate passing game, they have to be perfect in every other aspect of the game—and they aren’t. Cleveland will be fun to watch, but Super Bowl?
Without a vastly improved offensive line, the Texans don’t have a shot.
Of the remaining seven on the list, teams need to be good on both sides of the ball which eliminates the Chiefs and Bears. Pittsburgh has too much drama surrounding them to be taken seriously. The Rams could have enough defense, but they were lacking last year and with a lot of guys on one-year deals may not be any better next year.
That leaves the Chargers, Saints, and Patriots. The Chargers are good enough to compete but not win right now. Look for it to be the Saints and Patriots in the Super Bowl next season, like it should have been this year.
With the Saints ability to score points and shut down the Patriots run game, fans can expect an exciting game won by the Saints.
