The entirety of the 2020 NFL season came to an end with Super Bowl LV on Sunday. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers topped the Kansas City Chiefs to take home the title.
For the purposes of the Bills, their season ended a few weeks ago and when it did, they had some of the best odds to win the championship game which is now officially the next one up: Super Bowl LVI.

Following their AFC Championship loss to Kansas City, the Bills’ odds at winning the whole thing in 2022 were at +1200. According to BetMGM, things for the Bills have not changed, but around Buffalo, they have.
Evidently winning it all does that.
Previously the Bills actually had the same odds as the Bucs to win next year’s Super Bowl 56. Now that’s changed. Following their Super Bowl 55 victory, the Bucs moved up to +1000.
That moved Tampa into sole possession of the third-best odds instead of being in a tie with the Bills and Baltimore Ravens for that honor. Replacing the Bucs in that tie with the Bills and Ravens is the Los Angeles Rams, who jump up after acquiring QB Matthew Stafford via trade in recent weeks.
Here’s a full rundown of how the current odds for who will win Super Bowl LVI sit:
Kansas City Chiefs: +600
Green Bay Packers: +900
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: +1000
