At Bovada, the Kansas City Chiefs are the early +500 betting favorites in Super Bowl odds. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+600), Buffalo Bills (+1200), Los Angeles Rams (+1200) and San Francisco 49ers (+1300) make up the rest of the top five teams with the best chances to lift the Lombardi Trophy next season.

Super Bowl 55 Champion Buccaneers Looking to Go Back to Back

Tampa Bay, which entered Super Bowl 55 as a 3-point underdog, was dominant from start to finish against Kansas City. Now, the Buccaneers return all 22 starters to their roster (they are the first team in the salary cap era to do so) for another run with Tom Brady at the helm in his second season with the team.

The Bucs added to their depth in the draft, selecting edge rusher Joe Tryon in the first round and adding players at linebacker, wide receiver, offensive line and quarterback in later rounds.

With the band back together and a proper offseason for Brady and company to practice, there is little reason to believe the Bucs can’t repeat. The betting markets agree as Tampa Bay has the second-best odds at most sportsbooks.

Acquisition of Stafford Has Rams’ Super Bowl Odds Skyrocketing

Whether it’s been through big signings in free agency or trades, it’s clear the Rams believe their window to win a championship is now.

 General manager Les Snead made the biggest blockbuster trade of his tenure on January 31, as the Rams acquired veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford from the Detroit Lions. Going back to the Lions are a pair of first-round picks, a third-round pick and QB Jared Goff.

The addition of Stafford, the Lions’ all-time leader in every major quarterbacking category, makes the Rams look downright scary in the NFC.

It’s clear oddsmakers agree, evident in Los Angeles’ +1200 Super Bowl odds. The NFC West was already the toughest division in football, and it’s about to get even more competitive with Stafford in the Golden State.

Best Bets

Cleveland Browns (+1600)

The Cleveland Browns have one of the deepest rosters in the league and are poised to build on their successful 2020 season. The Browns finished third in their division despite going 11-5 and now enter the 2021 season tied for the seventh-best odds at +1600.

The schedule is tough for Cleveland, with road games in Kansas City, New England and Green Bay along with one of the toughest divisional schedules in the league. But, there is an argument to be made that the roster has been upgraded significantly even after the team won 11 games last season.

Odell Beckham Jr. is back healthy after appearing in only seven games last season, and key acquisitions on defense have that looking like one of the league’s top units. The Browns already had one of the league’s best offensive lines, the best running back duo, a great group of tight ends and continuity at quarterback and within the coaching staff. We like their chances.

New England Patriots (+2800)

The New England Patriots are another team that made significant upgrades this offseason and seem to be overlooked a little bit in betting markets. At +2500, the Patriots have the 11th-best Super Bowl odds at Bovada.

It’s never a great bet to count out Pats head coach Bill Belichick. The legendary coach has proven to be one of the great team builders in professional sports and made significant changes to his roster in the post-Brady era. The Patriots were talent-deficient on offense last season and started a quarterback who didn’t sign with the team until July and then had a coronavirus-shortened offseason program. Though there are still questions about who will start at quarterback, the Pats added multiple starting pass-catchers (Hunter Henry, Jonnu Smith, Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne) for whoever will be under center. 

The Patriots should also have one of the league’s better defenses as they return multiple players from opt-outs and added a couple of major pieces in free agency and the draft.

Long shot

Washington Football Team (+5500)

Can Ryan Fitzpatrick cap off a crazy NFL career with a Super Bowl ring? If it seems like a long shot, it’s because it is. The Washington Football team is tied for the 21st-best Super Bowl odds at +5000, but we like them as one of the best long-shot bets to win it all.

Washington won the NFC East last season (with a 7-9 record) and gave the eventual champion Buccaneers all they could handle – with a backup quarterback – in their wild-card matchup.

There is no doubting the quality of Washington’s defense that boasts one of the scariest defensive lines in recent memory. The questions for Washington are on offense where the journeyman Fitzpatrick takes over as the starter.

But with the additions of receivers Curtis Samuel and Adam Humphries in free agency plus wideout Dyami Brown in the draft, Washington has quietly put together a great group of offensive weapons that already included receiver Terry McLaurin, budding star running back Antonio Gibson and tight end Logan Thomas.

Combined with that great defense, why can’t Washington make some playoff (Fitz)magic?

When it comes to betting on the NFL, odds are available before teams take their first regular-season snaps. You can even bet on a potential Super Bowl winner in August. Certain squads will always be contenders, especially if they won the previous year. When bookmakers set the lines, they look at offseason roster moves, coaching changes and past on-field performance. To bet on the odds for the Super Bowl, you’d make a futures bet.

What is an NFL Futures Bet?

This is a bet in which you would look at the odds for the Super Bowl, weeks or sometimes months in advance of the big game, and decide which team you think will win. Let’s say you want to make a futures bet today. At your sportsbook of choice, the odds might look something like this:

If this were a moneyline bet, you’d be able to see which team is the clear favorite because it would have a minus sign beside its odds (-). For Super Bowl futures, the team with the lowest odds is favored to win the NFL championship, and the rest are underdogs.

Let’s say you feel strongly about the Saints and believe they’re going to win it all. If you were to bet $100 on them and they did triumph, you’d get a payout of $650 – your original $100 is returned along with your winnings of $550. Our Odds Calculator will show you how much you’d win based on the odds and amount bet.

The odds change throughout the season as key players get injured, trades happen and coaches get fired. Line movements for NFL futures happen weekly, so if you see odds you like, it’s best to bet on them ASAP. The Packers may be +900 to win the Super Bowl in October but after a surge in November their odds could jump to +400 and you’ll make less money than you would if you’d bet them at +900.
