2027 Super Bowl Odds and Predictions

Longtime NFL bettors know that there’s no rest for the weary when it comes to handicapping football. Once one Super Bowl ends, we turn our attention to the opening lines for the next one.

And, that’s exactly what we are doing here! The Seattle Seahawks just won Super Bowl LX as they rode a dominant defense all the way to a 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots. While Seahawks’ fans are celebrating, and Patriots’ fans are depressed, we’re already looking at the primary NFL futures bet on the boards.

With that said, let’s take a look at these early Super Bowl 61 odds and make our way-too-early NFL picks for which team will win the 2027 Super Bowl.

The game will kick off at 6:30 PM ET, 3:30 PM local time. And it’s set to air live on ABC and ESPN, making it the first simulcast for these stations. ABC last aired a Super Bowl in 2006.

The 2027 Super Bowl will take place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood (LA), California. This will be the second straight year that the Super Bowl emanates from California.

Super Bowl 61 Favorites

The following NFL teams are considered odds-on favorites to win Super Bowl 61:

Seattle Seahawks (+750)

The Seattle Seahawks enter the 2026-27 season as the early favorites to win Super bowl 61 as they ride the momentum from a dominating SB LX victory over the Patriots.

Seattle’s 2025-26 season featured a dominant defense that ranked among the best in the league and an offense that balanced a reliable rushing attack with efficient passing that featured Jaxon Smith-Njigba who finished as one of the best receivers in the league.

Offseason moves and roster construction now shape their quest for a second straight Super Bowl win. The Seahawks have roughly $70 million in salary cap space which is the fourth most in the NFL.

However, they will need to re-sign Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III along with addressing a number of potential defensive free agents that could leave for more money elsewhere.

Coaching continuity will take a hit as offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is leaving the Seahawks to become the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. He was a hot-commodity in this year’s coaching cycle.

It will be interesting to see how the Seahawks approach the draft. Free Agency will be the key to this franchise’s vision of how best to win a second straight Super Bowl.

Los Angeles Rams (+800)

Last year, I had the Los Angeles Rams as my darkhorse to win Super Bowl 60 along with capturing the NFC Championship. They came within one game of making me look really smart. However, the Rams fell short in that quest as they lost to Seattle in the NFC Championship game.

The Rams featured one of the best offenses in the league, especially with their passing attack led by NFL MVP Matthew Stafford who already declared that he will return for the 2026-27 season. He also helped Puka Nacua battle JSN for the top spot as the best wide receiver. You can expect this offense to continue its recent trend of dominating games as most of the key players will return for the upcoming season.

On defense, Los Angeles will need to continue their recent push to retool this side of the ball that began a year ago. Like Seattle, the Rams also lost a few coaches as well. Yet, this side of the ball needs to be the primary focus in Free Agency and the Draft.

Draft capital will also need to add some depth to the offensive line. But that should come after they address the defensive line and secondary first.  

While this team seems to skirty the salary cap every year, as long as they can protect Stafford then LA will have a shot at making the Super Bowl in 2027.

Baltimore Ravens (+1200)

The Baltimore Ravens’ trajectory entering 2026-27 is one of uncertainty. They released longtime head coach John Harbaugh, who went on to sign with the Giants, and hired Jesse Minter as their new coach. So, there will be some changes to the offensive and defensive sides of the ball as new systems are put into place.

It would be interesting to see what would’ve happened in Baltimore if they made that last-second field goal in Pittsburgh to go to the Playoffs. Instead, we have wholesale changes incoming.

Baltimore’s offense will center on Lamar Jackson and keeping him healthy. He missed numerous games last year. Also, how long can King Henry keep playing at a high level? Could we see changes in the backfield, as well?

Defensively, Baltimore had too many deficiencies. Inconsistency was the biggest plague for this side of the ball because they have elite talent on all three levels.

The Ravens’ offseason priorities will include reworking Jackson’s contract. This would free up tens of millions to help with the defensive issues, which should be in the form of pass rushers and secondary depth.

Baltimore has been solid in the draft for what seems like two decades running. Look for more defensive help in the draft and potentially another receiver to help this middling passing attack.

Yet, for a team with numerous changes and a new coaching staff, they’re greatly overvalued with these odds. I would skip Baltimore as a consideration as there are better options in the AFC and with these Super Bowl 61 odds.

Buffalo Bills (+1200)

The Buffalo Bills are a better option than Baltimore despite hiring a new coach, as well. The difference is that Buffalo promoted their offensive coordinator Joe Brady to the head coaching position which gives this team continuity and allows for star quarter back Josh Allen to flourish in the same system. In fact, James Cook will thrive again this year, as well.

With that said, this team really needs to add more skill players on the offensive side of the ball. Allen found himself throwing to a bunch of players that would be backups on other teams. While the offense put up solid numbers on the season, they still need more help.

A key storyline for Buffalo this offseason is their defense. Under Sean McDermott, this side of the ball cost the Bills numerous Playoff opportunities just like last year in Denver. Hiring Jim Leonard will convert the team to a 3-4 hybrid which the Bills will be better suited for.

Yet, that will also require adding more players that fit this system through Free Agency and the NFL Draft. Salary cap will be a hurdle for Buffalo as they need to find more money to keep some of their pending free agents and to bring in others.

Look for the Bills to target a receiver early in the draft, if they don’t go for a big name in Free Agency. You can also expect this team to add depth to their offensive line since they could lose at least one starter and for more help on the defensive line and linebacking group.

With that said, as long as they have Josh Allen, this team will always have a chance to contend for the AFC Championship.

Green Bay Packers (+1300)

The Green Bay Packers have emerged as a strong contender in the NFC last year, but were derailed in the Playoffs by key injuries. None more devastating than the loss of Micah Parsons who made this defense elite.

While the offense took a big step towards becoming one of the best in the NFL last year, they could not carry this team further into the postseason. Injuries on this side of the ball also hindered their overall success.

Despite their disappointing exit from the Playoffs, ownership doubled down on faith in the coaching staff and the front office. So, that continuity will definitely prepare the Packers for success in 2026.

The Packers need to get more out of their skill players and supporting cast for Jordan Love’s continued ascension. Cap space will be a balancing act for this front office but another offensive lineman could help this team, as well.

Defensively, getting Parsons healthy will be huge. Adding another pass rusher in the Draft of via Free Agency will only boost the defensive side of the ball. Another player in the secondary could be vital especially against the offenses in their own division.

Ultimately, Green Bay could take that next step just like Seattle did as they have similar components as the Seahawks do, they just need to stay healthy. This could be a Championship-winning offseason if Green Bay fills their needs appropriately.

Los Angeles Chargers (+1500)

The Los Angeles Chargers enter the 2026 season with plenty of optimism, provided they address their key areas of deficiency. Yes, I’m talking about their atrocious offensive line.

Los Angeles displayed an explosive offense when they kept Justin Herbert upright and Hampton returned to the field. The passing attack took a step towards elite with numerous weapons including the emergence of rookie TD Gadsen.

The coaching staff underwent some changes. But you have to be excited about former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel becoming the new offensive coordinator for this team. The Chargers will become even more dynamic on this side of the ball and I expect Herbert to put up career numbers.

Defensively, LA played consistently well and should keep that trend going into the new season. I would expect that they add some depth on the defensive side of the ball through the Draft.

However, with their cap space being favorable, LA really needs to fix that offensive line. If they can better protect Herbert, then this team could make a run towards the Super Bowl in their home stadium next year.

The Best Super Bowl 61 Betting Value

These teams offer value based on their current odds and rosters:

Houston Texans (+2000)

The Houston Texans overcame a ton of issue on the offensive side of the ball to make it to the Divisional Round of the Playoffs after winning the AFC South once again. They have an elite defense that should be the strength of their team for the 2026-27 season.

However, they must address offensive issues that plagued them in 2025. That could mean a more thorough offseason with QB CJ Stroud who threw four INTs in their Playoff loss. Or, it could be implementing a more balanced offensive scheme.

The salary cap will be an issue with the Texans especially in regards to key extensions coming sooner than later. They will need to make some difficult cap decisions along with a few restructurings.

With that said, a solid draft and a maturing offseason could help this team battle for the AFC South crown once again and another deep Playoff run. At +2000 odds, there’s a lot to love here.

Denver Broncos (+2000)

This line is probably the most surprising of the opening SB 61 odds. How do the sportsbooks view the Broncos less than the Chargers and Patriots (+1700). Denver almost beat New England in the AFC Title game with a backup QB. If Bo Nix was playing, this team would’ve gone to the Super Bowl and put on a better performance than the Patriots did.

Davis Webb will be the new offensive coordinator, which could spice things up on the offensive side of the ball. I see the Broncos ensuring that they add depth to both lines in the offseason. I can also see more help at the receiver position, as well.

Ultimately, this team is built to be a true contender in the AFC for the 2026-27 season and you will not get better odds on Denver than what they are right now.

Jacksonville Jaguars (+2000)

The Jacksonville Jaguars were one of the top teams in the AFC last year. They were led by an explosive offense with Trevor Lawrence at the helm. The Jags have a number of top-tier players at the skill positions, which should help them be elite once again this year.

Defensively, the Jags had lapses at times. Their loss to Buffalo in the Wild Card Round showed some of this. However, I expect this team to show growth from their loss and to be one of the top franchises in the AFC next year. A strong offseason and Draft will punctuate this point even further.

The Top Super Bowl 61 Longshot

Don’t laugh too hard, but the New York Giants at +7500 odds is a very appealing longshot. They just hired John Harbaugh as head coach and he brought in a number of high-caliber coaches to fill out his staff.

Just as important as the Harbaugh hiring, is the fact that this team has a number of young, talented players like QB Dart. Additionally, injured stars from last year will return this season to make the Giants even more dangerous on offense.

New York has a decent amount of salary cap space to make some moves and they have a Top 5 draft pick this year, as well.

The Giants will need to add some pieces to the defense as this side of the ball let the team down on a number of occasions. However, if there’s a team that can rise from the ashes like the Seahawks did last season, then it’s the Giants.  

Super Bowl 61 Predictions

The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles spoiled NFL fans into thinking that dynasties are easy to come by. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. The Eagles appear to be on a down trend while the Chiefs will bounce back to be a contender.

Yet, don’t let this fool you into thinking that the Seahawks will automatically return to the Super Bowl and win a second straight championship like the Chiefs have recently done.

Instead, we need to look elsewhere for our Super Bowl predictions. There’s too much value to skip other teams for the easy pick of Seattle.

Los Angeles Rams and the Green Bay Packers will both rise up to challenge the Seahawks. Let’s also not overlook the 49ers who will get their star players back from season-long injuries. Buffalo’s retooling could get them to the Super Bowl. Denver has the talent to get there and should have last year.

With that said, I really like the Rams at this point of the year as our Super Bowl pick. They came a few points shy of beating Seattle for a second time in the 2025-26 season, which would have sent them to the Super Bowl where they would’ve easily beaten the Patriots as well.

This offense is elite especially with NFL MVP Matthew Stafford and Davante Adams returning to the Rams. LA will need to boost their defensive side of the ball, which should happen with additions and another season under the belts of their younger players.

The Stafford era for the Rams is quickly coming to a close. Could we see the reigning MVP ride off into the sunset after a Super Bowl win like John Elway?

Bet: Los Angeles Rams (+800)
