NFL Futures Betting Odds

NFL Futures - Lines Legend

What Are NFL Futures?

Which NFL team will win the Super Bowl? Oddsmakers set NFL futures odds very early in the preseason and change them throughout the regular season, depending on a team’s successes or lack thereof. These futures bets can be absolutely wild, almost as crazy as Tom Brady’s surprise return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

In the table above, you can find current NFL futures odds that you can wager on. Bets on NFL futures can be profitable and it’s always fun to predict outcomes so early in the season. Be careful, though – wagering a large amount on an NFL futures bet can tie up your money for a long time.

An NFL futures bet is when you wager on a pro football event that occurs a little later in the year. The most popular way to bet NFL futures is wagering on which team will win the Super Bowl, who will win the NFC and AFC championships, and who will be rewarded as the most valuable player. 

Super Bowl Futures

Super Bowl betting is by far the most popular NFL futures bet among football bettors. The second an NFL team is crowned as champion, online betting sites open the next futures market, which stays open until another Super Bowl champion celebrates the following year. With Super Bowl odds, you can place futures bets at any time on the favorites to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

For example, let’s say a first-place team in September like Kansas City (+125) was the preseason favorite to win the Super Bowl, with Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers nipping at their heels at +225. A $100 wager on Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs would profit $125 if they were to win it all. You would get your original $100 back plus your winnings of $125.

A $100 wager on Aaron Rodgers and the Packers would profit $225 if they were to win Super Bowl 57. You would get your $100 back plus your winnings of $225. A low-win team like the New York Giants might be set at +30000, where a $100 wager would pay $30,000 as a long shot. Yes, their odds to win are essentially slim to none, but how sweet would that payout be?!

Division And Conference Futures

Another very common NFL football futures wager is division and conference betting. This is when football bettors wager on teams they think will win the AFC championship and NFC championship.

In order for these two football teams to advance to the Super Bowl, they have to first qualify for the playoffs and then win a couple of games. In order to win their respective conferences, teams need to get through Wild Card Weekend, the divisional round, as well as the American Football Conference championship or National Football Conference championship.

For the NFL division titles, you can wager on eight (8) different NFL division champs:

AFC Divisions

NFC Divisions

Seasonal And Performance Awards

This is where the NFL futures fun begins. You can wager on things like which player will win the National Football League MVP, which player will win Defensive Player of the Year, who will win Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year, and most online sportsbooks will typically offer sports betting odds on Coach of the Year as well.

There are many other NFL futures categories like the number of touchdowns a particular player will score, whether a wideout’s receiving yards will be OVER/UNDER a certain number, whether a running back will rush for more than 1,000 yards, team win totals, and let’s not forget about total sacks.

NFL Futures Line Movement

While games officially don’t get underway until September, NFL futures lines shift with preseason performances, injuries and NFL betting trends. If you see a futures line that you think is an absolute no-brainer, consider placing the wager before that bargain is gone.

Just remember that long-term success in NFL futures betting odds isn’t only about which team wins the next Super Bowl. It’s about hunting big rewards with as little investment as possible.
