FOX Sports Betting Analysts Geoff Schwartz and Sam Panayotovich gave their insights for the upcoming season.
Schwartz said the Chiefs are the AFC’s best until someone dethrones them.
“Last season was supposed to be an offensive rebuild, but they went out and won the Super Bowl. This season, the Chiefs had their worst offense in the [Patrick] Mahomes era, but it didn’t matter as they won the Super Bowl again,” Schwartz said.
“The scary thing is that with a few additions, the offense will be better next season and, while they will have to choose between paying Chris Jones or L’Jarius Sneed, they will return most of this top ranked defensive unit from 2023.”

Sammy P said the Packers are a long shot worth considering.
“Green Bay’s offense was extremely explosive from Thanksgiving Day through the playoffs, as Jordan Love emerged as one of the league’s most efficient quarterbacks,” Panayotovich said. “Assuming the Packers take another step forward, they can easily win the NFC North and host a playoff game.”
The Chiefs and 49ers were the preseason conference favorites at +350 in late February last year.
