NFL preseason football is in full swing, which means meaningful football is right around the corner. Even though Super Bowl 53 isn't until February, everyone from Average Joes to professional bettors are already evaluating the odds and locking in their 2019 Super Bowl picks. Bill Belichick's New England Patriots enter the season as the favorite to lift the Lombardi Trophy at 6-1 Super Bowl 2019 odds. A slew of other teams are going off at 10-1, including the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles.
Before you make your 2019 Super Bowl picks, you need to see what SportsLine stat geek R.J. White has to say.
White has years of experience analyzing NFL statistics and trends, dating all the way back to Super Bowl XXV. He knows what it takes to win on football's biggest stage and finished in the top 1 percent of the Las Vegas SuperContest last season, the nation's most prestigious handicapping tournament, after also going deep in 2015.
If you had placed $100 on each of White's NFL point-spread picks last season, you would have won nearly $2,000.
Now, White has analyzed the latest Super Bowl 53 odds and identified major errors from Vegas oddsmakers. He's sharing those selections over at SportsLine.
We'll give one away: White likes the value on the Kansas City Chiefs at 20-1. He likes the fact that Andy Reid has led the Chiefs to at least nine wins and four playoff appearances in his five seasons as head coach.
"The 2018 Chiefs have an unknown at QB, but he should be put in a spot to succeed with the talent surrounding him on offense," White told SportsLine. "The Chiefs have excellent players at each level of the defense, including Eric Berry, Kendall Fuller, Justin Houston and the emerging Chris Jones. This is a playoff team, one that I feel should win the division, and it wouldn't shock me to see them challenge for a first-round bye."
One massive shocker: White is completely fading the Jacksonville Jaguars, saying they are extremely overpriced with Super Bowl odds 2019 of 16-1.
"This year, it's not going to be as easy, with Deshaun Watson and Andrew Luck back under center, with the Jaguars playing a tough first-place schedule, with several defenders who had career years bound to regress at least a little," White told SportsLine. "Even in the wide-open AFC, I think the Jaguars are still a quarterback away from challenging for the conference title unless everything breaks perfectly yet again."
White is also eyeing a massive longshot that didn't even win six games last season. Anyone who backs this underdog could hit it big.
