Which Teams Are Favorites to Win the Super Bowl According to the Sportsbooks?
The 2025-26 NFL season kicks off this Thursday and the sportsbooks already have their top favorites to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
The start of the season and high expectations
The NFL is back. This Thursday the 2025-26 regular season begins, bringing with it the dreams of 32 teams aiming for the Super Bowl. As always, the spotlight won’t just be on the field but also on the betting odds, which reveal the strongest favorites and the underdogs.
The competition promises to be fierce. With star quarterbacks, elite defenses, and franchises hungry for glory, the season begins with expectations of historic clashes on the road to the big game in February.
Favorites in the AFC
In the AFC, the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens lead the way as top contenders, both at +650 odds. Their explosive offenses and defensive solidity make them natural candidates. Close behind are the Kansas City Chiefs (+800), who with Patrick Mahomes at the helm are always in the conversation as potential champions.
Other AFC teams with strong aspirations include the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers, both at +1200, each dreaming of breaking through the dominance of the top favorites.
Favorites in the NFC
Over in the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles come in with +700 odds, standing out as the team to beat in the conference. The San Francisco 49ers (+1800) remain serious contenders thanks to their intimidating defense and versatile offense.
Further down the list are the Washington Commanders and LA Rams, both at +2000, who may not be among the biggest favorites but still carry the potential to deliver surprises in the postseason.
The most likely Super Bowl matchup
If the sportsbooks are right, the most likely Super Bowl showdown would feature one of the Bills, Ravens, Eagles, or Chiefs — a clash of giants that would grab worldwide attention and confirm the dominance of the league’s current powerhouse franchises.
The teams with the lowest odds
Not every team starts the season with the same dreams. At the bottom of the table are the Cleveland Browns with +30000 odds and the New Orleans Saints at +40000, teams seen as having slim chances of lifting the Lombardi Trophy. Still, the NFL has taught us year after year that shocking upsets are always possible.
