We’re less than a week away from the start of the 2025-26 NFL season. The defending champion Philadelphia Eagles are one of three co-favorites to win Super Bowl 60, along with the Baltimore Ravens and the Buffalo Bills. The Eagles, Ravens, and Bills are +700 odds to win the Super Bowl according to a recent update by BetMGM. The Kansas City Chiefs are not far behind at +800 odds, and the Detroit Lions are +1000.
The Eagles will attempt a rare repeat. Only eight franchises won the Super Bowl in consecutive seasons, including the Pittsburgh Steelers twice. It occurred only once in the last two decades, with the Chiefs a couple of seasons ago.
Let’s take a look at the top eight favorites on the futures board:
Philadelphia Eagles: Back-to-Back?
Super Bowl Odds: +700
NFC Championship Odds: +340
NFC #1 Seed Odds: +325
The Eagles are the team to beat, according to early market indicators. A healthy Saquon Barkley dominated last season, and he’ll be the key factor once again. The Tush Push is still legal, for now, which makes Jalen Hurts lethal in short-yardage situations, especially on the goal line. The Eagles are darlings among fans and bettors, which is why they’re the co-favorite to win the Super Bowl at +700. They’re also the front-runner to win the NFC Championship for a third time in the last four seasons at +340 odds. And they’re the betting favorite to secure the #1 seed in the NFC playoffs at +325.
Buffalo Bills: Bills Mafia Always Hopeful
Super Bowl Odds: +700
AFC Championship Odds: +340
AFC #1 Seed Odds: +220
The Bills were the subject of HBO’s popular reality series “Hard Knocks” this preseason. You only had to watch one episode to learn that the closely-knit team is hell bent on winning home-field advantage in the playoffs so they can go out in style at their old stadium before they move to a new facility next season. Running back James Cook got paid, which was a momentary distraction at the start of training camp. Josh Allen is at the peak of his powers, and the Bills Mafia will ride and die with their hero. They’re desperate to return to the Super Bowl for the first time in 30 years, and who knows how many more chances Allen has to lead them to their first Lombardi Trophy. The Bills are the consensus favorite to secure the #1 seed in the AFC playoffs, but co-favorites with the Ravens to win the AFC Championship at +340 odds.
Baltimore Ravens: Will Lamar Jackson Finally Get Over the Hump?
Super Bowl Odds: +700
AFC Championship Odds: +340
AFC #1 Seed Odds: +375
Lamar Jackson is a two-time MVP but has only made one trip to the AFC Championship game and has never made it to the Big Game. The big knock against Jackson is that the dual-threat quarterback falters in big playoff games. Jackson can finally get off the schneid if the Ravens return to the Super Bowl for the first time since the 2012 season. The Ravens enter the season as a three-way favorite to win Super Bowl 60 at +700 odds. They have the same odds as the Bills at +340 to win the AFC title game, but they’re only the second favorite on the futures board to lock up the #1 AFC playoff seed at +375 odds.
Kansas City Chiefs: Always a Contender with Patrick Mahomes
Super Bowl Odds: +800
AFC Championship Odds: +425
AFC #1 Seed Odds: +475
Despite rumors that Travis Kelce would retire after a crushing defeat in Super Bowl 59, the tight end most known in non-sporting circles as “Taylor Swift’s fiancé” returns to the gridiron for at least one more season. Kelce is on a specific mission to win a fourth Super Bowl with Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. With everyone relatively healthy on offense, the Chiefs will attempt to advance to a remarkable eighth-straight AFC Championship with Mahomes as the starter. The Chiefs offer solid value at +425 odds to win another conference title and +800 to win the Super Bowl.
Detroit Lions: Still Contenders with New Coordinators
Super Bowl Odds: +1000
NFC Championship Odds: +525
NFC #1 Seed Odds: +650
Did the Lions miss their window to win the Super Bowl last season? Fans don’t think so, even after they lost their top coordinators to head coaching jobs for the Chicago Bears (OC Ben Johnson) and New York Jets (DC Aaron Glenn). The Lions were decimated with injuries on defense last season, so they hope they won’t have to win a shootout in every game this season. They still boast a dangerous offense featuring their two-headed rushing attack with Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Jared Goff has three valuable passing options, including wideouts Amnon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, and tight end Sam LaPorta. The Lions are currently +1000 odds to win the Super Bowl, and +525 odds to win the NFC Championship. If you believe the Eagles will succumb to the proverbial Super Bowl hangover, then lock in those numbers, especially +650 odds to secure the #1 seed in the NFC before the season kicks off.
Washington Commanders: Jaden Daniels Rising
Super Bowl Odds: +1800
NFC Championship Odds: +900
NFC #1 Seed Odds: +800
The Commanders were must-see TV as one of the surprise teams last season at 12-5 under new head coach Dan Quinn. Jayden Daniels, the second-overall pick in 2024, excelled in his first season with the Commanders. Daniels was a no-brainer to win the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year after he completed 69 percent of his passes for 3,568 yards and 25 touchdowns. He also added 891 rushing yards and six touchdowns, while averaging 6.0 yards per carry. Terry McLaurin ended his holdout when he agreed to a three-year contract extension after he caught a career-best 13 touchdown passes last season. The Commanders acquired the versatile Deebo Samuel in a trade. Samuel, who can beat you in the air or on the ground, recorded 22 touchdown receptions and 20 rushing scores in 81 games with the 49ers. The Commanders offer juicy value at +900 odds to win the NFC Championship, and they’re +1800 to win the Super Bowl for the first time since the 1991 season.
Cincinnati Bengals: Healthy Joe Burrow on the Attack
Super Bowl Odds: +2000
AFC Championship Odds: +1000
AFC #1 Seed Odds: +1200
Joe Burrow struggled with injuries heading into the regular season the last couple of years. With a healthy Burrow, plus the top wide receiver in the NFL in Ja’Marr Chase and a workhorse in running back Chase Brown, the Bengals have one of the most lethal offenses this season. They’ll need to jack up as many points as possible due to a porous defense. Head coach Zac Taylor must get the Bengals back into legitimate Super Bowl contention if he wants to keep his job. Despite a top-heavy conference, the Bengals are +1000 odds to win the AFC Championship and +2000 odds to win their first Super Bowl.
San Francisco 49ers: CMAC Ready with Soft Schedule
Super Bowl Odds: +2000
NFC Championship Odds: +850
NFC #1 Seed Odds: +650
The 49ers saw their three-season streak of reaching the NFC Championship halted due to a disastrous and injury-riddled 2024 season. They won only six games, and it was not pretty. On the plus side, the 49ers enter this season with the easiest schedule, which is why they’re a popular pick to win the NFC Championship at +850 odds, and +650 odds to secure the #1 seed playoffs. The 49ers seek their sixth Super Bowl title and their first in over 30 years. Kyle Shanahan has led the 49ers to two trips to the Super Bowl since 2019, but they lost to the Chiefs both times. You can back the 49ers at +2000 odds to win Super Bowl 60.
