In an NFL world full of stacked rosters and divisions, which teams have the best rosters?
Nick Wright provided his top five on Wednesday’s edition of “First Things First.”
5. Cincinnati Bengals
Odds to win Super Bowl: +1500
Nick’s thoughts: “I think Joe Burrow has the exact right disposition to come back from a wildly frustrating and disappointing year. Not being healthy at the beginning, playing poorly, finally getting healthy, playing great, and then suffering a freak injury. You add to that they didn’t get rid of Tee Higgins like I thought they would. They might pay for that down the road, but this year it helps them.
“Their defense last year was wildly problematic. They bring in Geno Stone, which I like. They add other players in the secondary. I expect a better year from their edges, [Sam] Hubbard and [Trey] Hendrickson. Obviously, I think [Ja’Marr] Chase is going to get it done, and I don’t think the loss of Joe Mixon is that significant. And they spent a first-round pick on a tackle [Amarius Mims]. He’s banged up, but I like that pick.”
4. Chicago Bears
Odds to win Super Bowl: +3500
Nick’s thoughts: “I would just like to know what the biggest weakness on the roster is. The answer to that is probably the left side of the offensive line, but they have a stud right tackle [Darnell Wright]. They have arguably the best one-through-three wide receiver group in the league. Not the best No. 1 or the best No. 2, but as far as if Keenan Allen’s your No. 3, DJ Moore, and I think Rome Odunze is a legitimate No. 2 the moment he walks into the league. That’s great.
“I love D’Andre Swift. I know a lot of Eagles fans evidently think they’re getting a huge upgrade with Saquon [Barkley]; I don’t know that I agree with that. This defense was elite the moment they got Montez Sweat last year. They added help in the secondary. Jaylon Johnson’s one of the five best corners in football.”
3. San Francisco 49ers
Odds to win Super Bowl: +600
Nick’s thoughts: “You have the best left…
