You would have to go back to 2003 and 2004 to find the last time any team posted backed-to- back Super Bowl wins. The New England Patriots beat the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII. They then went on to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles the following season.

The third-favorite on the board is the 13-3 Buffalo Bills at +600 odds. They are one of the hottest teams in the NFL heading into the playoffs with a straight-up six-game winning streak. The Bills are 9-1 SU in their last 10 games and they have covered against the spread in their previous eight contests.
Moving down the rest of the Super Bowl futures list, the New Orleans Saints are fourth at +800 closely followed by the rival NFC South Tampa Bay Buccaneers at +900 odds to round out the Top 5.
The Baltimore Ravens strung together a SU five-game winning streak to qualify for the postseason in the AFC. The odds they string together another four victories to win Super Bowl LV are +1000.

2021 NFL Super Bowl Betting Value
The fact that you can still get the Chiefs at +200 would have to be the best-valued pick on the board. Although there is no such thing as a lock when it comes to winning the biggest game of the year.
Sentimental value could be attached to the Packers with Aaron Rodgers playing in top form. Drew Brees is also in the twilight of his Hall of Fame career leading the Saints. You have another Hall of Famer in Tom Brady leading Tampa Bay in his NFC playoffs debut.

Buffalo sitting at +600 could be the most interesting possibility. Chances are they would have to beat the Chiefs in Kansas City to win the AFC Championship. The AFC in general is an early three-point favorite on the opening Super Bowl LV spread.
The last time Buffalo qualified for the title game was in the 1993 season. The Bills went on to lose their fourth Super Bowl in a row.
