NFL Super Bowl 2026 Futures: Early Betting Favorites and Long Shot Picks

As the NFL offseason progresses and teams gear up for the 2025 campaign, bettors and fans alike are already eyeing Super Bowl 60, scheduled for February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Early futures odds reveal a competitive landscape with established powerhouses leading the pack, while several intriguing long shots offer enticing value. Here’s a detailed look at the early favorites, sleepers, and best bets for the 2026 Super Bowl.

Early Favorites: Eagles, Bills, Ravens, and Chiefs

The Philadelphia Eagles enter the 2026 season as the betting favorites, with odds around +650 to +675 across major sportsbooks like BetMGM and ESPN BET. Fresh off a dominant Super Bowl 59 victory, the Eagles boast a stout defense and a dynamic offense led by quarterback Jalen Hurts and a powerful offensive line. Despite offseason departures on the defensive line, the Eagles reinforced their roster through the draft, adding promising defenders like Jihaad Campbell and Andrew Mukuba, which keeps their defense among the league’s best.

Close behind are the Buffalo Bills (+650 to +750) and Baltimore Ravens (+700), both perennial contenders with strong rosters and elite quarterbacks in Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, respectively. The Bills’ balanced offense and aggressive defense make them a consistent threat, while the Ravens’ dynamic playmaking and improved offensive weapons position them well for a deep playoff run.

The Kansas City Chiefs, though slightly trailing with odds around +750 to +850, remain a formidable contender with Patrick Mahomes at the helm. Despite their Super Bowl loss last season, the Chiefs’ explosive offense and savvy coaching staff keep them in the championship conversation.

Long Shots and Sleepers: Lions, 49ers, Bengals, and Commanders

Several teams with longer odds present intriguing sleeper bets. The Detroit Lions, with odds around +900 to +1100, have seen their stock rise due to a talented young core and a 99.8% playoff probability projection from Baseball-Reference. Their potent offense and improving defense could surprise many in the NFC.

The San Francisco 49ers (+1500 to +2000) and Cincinnati Bengals (+1600 to +1800) also offer value. The 49ers’ strong defense and innovative scheme under head coach Kyle Shanahan, combined with a healthy roster, make them a dangerous postseason contender. Meanwhile, the Bengals, led by Joe Burrow, have consistently competed at a high level and remain a threat in the AFC.

Washington Commanders, with odds around +1800, represent a high-upside pick given their young talent and recent improvements. While not traditional favorites, these teams could capitalize on favorable matchups and injuries to contenders.

Best Bets and Betting Insights

For bettors, the safest wager remains the Eagles due to their proven championship pedigree and roster stability. However, the relatively low payout (+650) means savvy bettors might look to diversify with higher-value picks like the Lions or 49ers, who combine strong rosters with longer odds.

Fox Sports analyst Henry McKenna notes, “The NFL is unpredictable, and teams like Detroit and San Francisco have the pieces to make noise. Betting on these teams early could yield significant returns if they hit their stride.”

The early Super Bowl 2026 futures paint a picture of a competitive NFL season ahead, with the Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and Kansas City Chiefs leading the charge. Meanwhile, long shots like the Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers, and Cincinnati Bengals provide compelling value for bettors seeking higher payouts.

As the season unfolds, injuries, trades, and emerging stars will undoubtedly shift the odds, but for now, these teams represent the best bets and most exciting prospects in the race to Super Bowl 60.
