2026 Super Bowl Predictions with Futures Odds

by Spencer Toth - 6/11/2025

Super Bowl predictions Josh Allen Buffalo Bills

It is never too early to start locking in your Super Bowl predictions for the upcoming season. The offseason can be the best time to find value on the Super Bowl contenders before their prices drop once Week 1 rolls around. The NFL draft and a flurry of offseason moves are now behind us, as the rosters for teams around the league begin to take shape. There are several teams capable of making a deep run this season, but these five squads stand out in terms of likelihood to make a deep run, combined with value at their current odds. There is no guarantee these odds will still be available once the season starts, and these are bets that must be locked in before it is too late. 

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

Philadelphia Eagles +650

It is hard to argue that the Eagles are bursting with value considering they are the outright favorites to win, but this price still feels slightly disrespectful to the reigning champions. This is around the usual price of the defending champions, but the wide-open nature of the NFC, combined with a productive offseason for the Eagles makes this a steal at this stage of the offseason. A dominant Week 1 win over the Dallas Cowboys will see their Super Bowl odds drop dramatically, and +650 is one we have to scoop up immediately. 

Philadelphia embarrassed the Kansas City Chiefs in front of the world last February, and there is no reason to expect them to falter this year. Jalen Hurts proved he can be effective through the air and on the ground, and the Tush Push is alive and well for at least one more season. Saquon Barkley will have another dominant year, provided he stays healthy, as his impact both in the backfield and down the sideline transformed this offense. AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert are all still on the team, and the Eagles offense will look very similar to the dominant unit they had last season. 

On the defensive side of the ball, things will be a bit different. Philadelphia was never going to be able to keep its wealth of defensive talent under contract and had to make some tough decisions in free agency. Josh Sweat, Darius Slay, Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, and Milton Williams all departed, but the Eagles made some crafty signings to fill those holes. They prioritized the middle of the field in the draft, with rookie linebacker Jihaad Campbell expected to make an instant impact, assuming he is healthy for the start of the season. Philadelphia is still the squad to beat, and they are still bursting with value at +650 odds. 

Buffalo Bills +700

The Buffalo Bills have been unable to turn productive regular seasons into Super Bowls, but this could be the year they finally do so. One of the most important factors in a deep playoff run is seeding, and the Bills are heavy favorites to dominate their division. The Jets, Patriots, and Dolphins are all deeply flawed, and Buffalo will have no problem racking up wins. On the field, Josh Allen continues to change what is possible, and this team was inches away from reaching the Super Bowl last season. Allen will always give this team a chance to win, and the Bills finally gave him some pieces to work with on offense. Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman will continue to develop, and incoming Joshua Palmer gives the Bills some depth at wide receiver. Allen will be responsible for creating much of the offense on his own, but a realignment out wide will give this offense a new look for teams to slow down. 

The Bills have been unlucky with injuries on the defensive side of the ball, but a healthy Bills defense is capable of going all the way. Matt Milano is amongst the league's best linebackers, and he is joined by Terrel Bernard in the middle of the field. Joey Bosa will join a strong pass rush, and the Bills spent some early draft picks to add Landon Jackson and Deone Walker. Buffalo’s weak division and dominant quarterback will allow them to cruise into the postseason, and this price could certainly dip when Buffalo starts racking up wins to kick off the season. 

Washington Commanders +1800

The Washington Commanders have the weight of sharing a division with the Eagles keeping them down, but there is no reason this team can’t make a run to the Super Bowl this year. The change in ownership to Josh Harris ushered in a new generation of football in Washington, and the arrival of Jayden Daniels has catapulted this team into contention. Daniels put together one of the best rookie seasons of all time last year and fell one win short of reaching the Super Bowl. Washington has retooled their roster in the offseason to protect their starlet, and a healthy Daniels does not deserve a +1800 price tag heading into the year. 

The Commanders gave Daniels another weapon alongside Terry McLaurin by bringing in Deebo Samuel for a fifth-round pick. Samuel is the perfect man to join deep ball threat McLaurin, as his ability to rack up yards after the catch is one of the best in the league. The backfield is in safe hands with Brian Robinson and Austin Ekeler, but the real improvements were seen on the offensive line. The Commanders went all-in by acquiring Laremy Tunsil to play left tackle, and also picked up right tackle Josh Conerly Jr. at the end of the first round of this year’s draft. Daniels was incredible with a collapsing pocket around him last year, and it is truly frightening to think what he can do with time in the middle of the field. 

Washington’s offense will not decide their ceiling this season, but rather their defense. Frankie Luvu and Bobbie Wagner comprise one of the best linebacker duos in the league, and the addition of Marshon Lattimore should shore up their secondary. Washington was frequently burned by the deep ball last year, but an improved pass rush should also help them in that category. This team will find themselves in high-scoring shootouts this season, but clutch play from Daniels could allow them to get back to the NFC Championship game this year. At +1800, the Commanders are bursting with value. 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers +3500

The first step of a Super Bowl run starts with making the playoffs, and a weak division for the Buccaneers makes them worth a sprinkle at +3500. The Falcons, Saints, and Panthers are all train wrecks heading into the year, and Tampa Bay shouldn’t have too many problems winning their division. Once they do that, a +3500 ticket will feel like quite the bargain. 

Baker Mayfield has aging talents around him in Tampa Bay, but there are few reasons to doubt this team’s punishing style of play. Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are as reliable as they come, and a strong run game will allow Tampa Bay to control the football for long stretches. Haason Reddick is a big addition to the Bucs' pass rush on defense, while Yaya Diaby does a great job patrolling the middle of the field. This isn’t a team full of bonafide Super Bowl talents, but a soft path to the NFC Championship game, when they win the division, means this +3500 ticket should age quite nicely. 

Pittsburgh Steelers: +4000

This team has been one of the most consistent average teams over the last decade in the NFL. Mike Tomlin has led this team to 18 straight non-losing seasons, but has failed to turn that into playoff success this decade. Five straight first-round losses have been painful, but this could be the year the Steelers finally get back over the hump. The big news on offense is the arrival of Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf. Pittsburgh has had a strong defense that can beat up on bad teams, but they haven’t had the offense needed to match the points scored by the league’s best teams. Rodgers is certainly on the wrong side of 40, but he will still be a major upgrade over the quarterback carousel in Pittsburgh. DK Metcalf is a true WR1 in the modern-day NFL, and he will keep drives alive when they would have usually fizzled out for the Steelers. A tough AFC North battleground will make home-field advantage a tall task, but if the Steelers sneak into the playoffs before pulling off a first-round upset, this +4000 price is certainly worth a sprinkle.
