Here’s who Colin listed among his top 10 NFL teams right now, with Super Bowl odds from DraftKings Sportsbook.
10. Minnesota Vikings
Notable Additions: RB Aaron Jones, OLB Jonathan Greenard, LB Andrew Van Ginkel, QB Sam Darnold
Notable subtractions: QB Kirk Cousins, OLB Danielle Hunter
Early Super Bowl odds: +8000 (bet $10 to win $810 total)
Cowherd’s thoughts: “I’m calling my shot. Just go look at their coach and their offensive weapons. I think Kevin O’Connell, the tall Sean McVay, is the best coach in the league that nobody talks about. I like them. They saved money getting off Kirk Cousins coming off the [Achilles surgery. They bolstered their pass rush with those savings. They did what the Houston Texans did last year — they quietly made their defense better with a lot of B to B-plus moves.”
9. Los Angeles Rams
Notable additions: OL Jonah Jackson, CB Kamren Curl, QB Jimmy Garoppolo
Notable subtractions: DL Aaron Donald (retired), S Jordan Fuller
Early Super Bowl odds: +3500 (bet $10 to win $360 total)
Cowherd’s thoughts: “I don’t know how you replace Aaron Donald. If Aaron’s coming back, I probably have them at No. 5 or No. 6 because I love their young players. They did bolster their interior offensive line and they bolstered their back-end defense. I think Matthew Stafford and McVay may be the No. 2 combination of offensive head coach and quarterback in the league, second only to Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. But Donald is either the first, second or third-best defensive player I have ever seen. He had a better pass rush win rate last year getting double-teamed than everyone else had single-teamed. That’s how good he was.”
