2026 Super Bowl Predictions with Futures Odds

by Spencer Toth - 12/23/2025

Super Bowl predictions Matthew Stafford Los Angeles Rams

There are two weeks left in the regular season, and now is the perfect time to lock in your Super Bowl bets before the playoffs roll around. The No. 1 seeds in the AFC and NFC are both still up for grabs, seven of the eight divisions have yet to be crowned, and there are still 18 teams alive in the playoff race. Additionally, this has been one of the most wide-open seasons in recent memory, with the Los Angeles Rams leading the way with sky-high +460 odds. There are 12 teams with +1700 odds or shorter, meaning nearly half the league has a legitimate shot at taking home the Lombardi Trophy. Here are the teams with at least a 5% shot of winning the Super Bowl, with a value rating based on their current odds. 

Doc’s Sports offers NFL expert picks for every game on our NFL predictions page.

Los Angeles Rams: +460

The Rams are the outright favorites despite the fact that they will likely finish in the Wild Card positions in the NFC. While it is hard to overlook their potent passing attack, going on the road for three straight playoff games makes this price hard to justify. Their potential Wild Card matchup against the Panthers or Buccaneers should be a win for Los Angeles, but it will be hard to make them favorites on the road against the Eagles, Seahawks, Bears, Packers, or 49ers. The path to the Super Bowl is a very difficult one for Los Angeles, which makes this +460 price unplayable. There are valid arguments that the Rams are the best team in the league, but grabbing a likely division winner with longer odds is a much better bet at this stage of the season. 

Value Rating: 1/5

Seattle Seahawks: +650

The Seahawks needed a miracle to take over the top spot in the NFC West, but they got the job done and are now in pole position to win the division. The Seattle defense is among the best units in the league, but I find it hard to trust Sam Darnold in a playoff atmosphere. He did slay some of his demons with the fourth-quarter comeback over the Rams last week, but I still need to see more before this price is 100% justifiable. If the Seahawks secure the top seed in the NFC, this price becomes great, but there is still a 50% chance they end up in a Wild Card spot themselves. That kind of uncertainty isn’t what we want with the Super Bowl favorites. They are a better pick than the Rams, but still not worthy of an investment at +650 odds. 

Value Rating: 2/5 

Buffalo Bills: +850

Could this be the year Josh Allen and the Bills finally win the AFC? They still have an uphill battle to win the AFC East, but even from a Wild Card position, the Bills are among the favorites in the AFC. Josh Allen has the “it” factor teams crave, and a well-rounded Bills offense will allow them to make a deep playoff run. While there are still concerns on the defensive side of the ball, if it’s a close game in the fourth quarter, Josh Allen is the man you want under center. If things fall into place and the Bills win the AFC, this price will drop into the +500 range, and I can’t imagine it going much higher since they have already clinched a playoff spot. It’s not the top pick on the board, but the Bills still hold plenty of value at this price. 

Value Rating: 4/5 

Philadelphia Eagles: +900

The Philadelphia Eagles are the only team to have clinched their division with two weeks left in the regular season. They have very little to play for in the final weeks, as they will finish either second or third in the NFC. While it is hard to fade the Super Bowl champions at a price like this, it is abundantly clear that the Eagles aren’t the same team this season. Injuries to Lane Johnson and Jalen Carter played a role, and there is no denying that a healthy Eagles team is a real threat in the postseason. However, this team has been booed off the field on multiple occasions this season, and it won’t take much negative momentum to turn the Eagles crowd against their team. A Week 17 tilt with the Bills will be a good measuring stick, but that isn’t a test I expect them to pass. This price will only go higher in the closing weeks of the year, making the Eagles a hard pass right now. 

Value Rating: 1/5 

New England Patriots: +1000

The Patriots were +1000 last week, then they went into Baltimore and manhandled the Ravens. What did that do to their odds? Absolutely nothing. I know Drake Maye isn’t a household name, but it is time to start putting respect on his potentially MVP-winning season. Maye has been poised in the pocket, the Patriots have a great defense, and are two wins over the Jets and Dolphins away from clinching the AFC East. The AFC doesn’t have too many other proven contenders, so it is hard to understand why New England has been overlooked. A soft schedule is out of their control, and they are still being weighed down by their 1-2 start with losses to the Raiders and Steelers. Even though this price shouldn’t change much in the next couple of weeks, locking in New England at this price is one of the best bets you can make. 

Value Rating: 5/5

Denver Broncos: +1000

The Broncos' defense could carry them deep in the playoffs, and they are two wins away from securing the No. 1 Seed in the AFC. However, the manner in which they have won games this year has me doubting their legitimacy with the playoffs around the corner. Denver has needed numerous fourth-quarter comebacks to reach 12-3 this season, with 10 of their 12 wins coming in a one-possession game. Bo Nix has been inconsistent, and I just don’t see how this team has the same odds as the Patriots. If they secure the top seed in the AFC, this price will drop, but even then, I can’t get behind Denver this year. 

Value Rating: 2/5 

Jacksonville Jaguars: +1200

This sounds about right for Jacksonville. The Jaguars were as high as +12500 to win the Super Bowl earlier this year, but six straight wins have given them sole possession of the AFC South. Trevor Lawrence is finally looking like the quarterback Jacksonville drafted, and prioritizing young defensive players has started to pay dividends for the Jaguars. Their strength of schedule can still be called into question, but a dominant Week 16 win over the mighty Broncos has silenced the doubters for the time being. I would’ve liked to scoop up the Jaguars at a favorable price a few weeks ago, but that ship has sadly sailed. 

Value Rating: 3/5
