Super Bowl 2025 odds: 49ers are early favorites; Chiefs, Ravens and Bills among top teams

The Chiefs beat the 49ers in time beyond regulation to win Tremendous Bowl LVIII. 

Is it too early to start out waiting for Tremendous Bowl LVIX held in New Orleans? By no means. The San Francisco 49ers are Tremendous Bowl favorites at +500 on BetMGM, regardless of shedding to the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs (+700 to repeat) in Tremendous Bowl 58. The Baltimore Ravens (+850), Buffalo Payments (+1200) and Detroit Lions (+1200) have the next-best odds.

In fact, the Chiefs are nonetheless one of many favorites to win the AFC. It’s assumed that common supervisor Brett Veach will do every thing in his energy to search out assist for Patrick Mahomes after the offense’s struggles for a lot of the common season.

Together with the Chiefs, the Ravens, Payments and Bengals are the favorites from the AFC. The Jets have worse odds now (+3000) than they did presently final season (+2500), and that was even earlier than they’d acquired Aaron Rodgers from Inexperienced Bay, although rumors have been already swirling that Rodgers needed out of Wisconsin and into the Large Apple.

Of the groups with new head coaches, the Los Angeles Chargers (+2500) have the most effective odds with new coach Jim Harbaugh. Los Angeles is $45 million over the wage cap for subsequent season, in line with OverTheCap.com.

When you’re in search of groups that may make a splash in free company, the Commanders, Titans, Patriots, Bengals and Colts have probably the most wage cap room proper now.

Detroit (+1200) has accomplished its 180 flip from lovable losers to now a favourite within the NFC. Dallas and Philadelphia are nonetheless close to the highest of their respective conferences, however there might be adjustments for each groups this offseason. Dallas misplaced defensive coordinator Dan Quinn to Washington and Philadelphia employed Kellen Moore to be its new offensive coordinator and Vic Fangio to steer its protection.

The Carolina Panthers, Tennessee Titans and New England Patriots all have the worst odds of profitable the Tremendous Bowl. All three groups can have new coaches subsequent 12 months.

Placing bets on favorites this far out most likely isn’t a great betting technique, although. Take into account that the Chiefs had worse odds coming into this 12 months’s playoffs (+1000) than they did after final 12 months’s Tremendous Bowl win (+600).

Tremendous Bowl 2025 odds: Texans, Eagles and Falcons have largest swings from final preseason

Detroit Lions +1200

The Lions have the fifth-best Tremendous Bowl odds in 2024, and that feels nearly proper. Of their first postseason run collectively, with the fifth-youngest roster within the NFL, the Lions reached the NFC Championship sport and held a 24-7 lead. Had they made the mandatory performs to win the sport, it might’ve been them in Las Vegas hoping to hoist the Lombardi. As an alternative, they’ll use a disappointing loss as motivation and work to get there subsequent season. Detroit’s finest expertise — Penei Sewell, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Aidan Hutchinson, Sam LaPorta, Jahmyr Gibbs, and so on. — ought to solely get higher with age. QB Jared Goff has now taken two groups to NFC Championship video games and is coming off one other sturdy season. Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is again for an additional 12 months, turning down head teaching alternatives but once more. And the Lions will look to enhance a secondary that wants an inflow of expertise. Detroit’s schedule and division look harder on paper, however contemplating all of the Lions have going for them, they’re well-positioned for an additional deep postseason run.  —Colton Pouncy, Lions author

New York Jets +3000

The Jets, as a lot as any staff on this checklist, have the flexibility to swing wildly in both route. That’s the Aaron Rodgers issue. The Jets have loads of holes to fill on offense (offensive line, extensive receiver) and issues to beat (offensive coordinator) however in the end how far the Jets go (or not) relies upon largely on what model of Rodgers they get. He’ll flip 41 this season and is coming off Achilles surgical procedure, so it’s honest to be skeptical that the Jets will make noise — however they nonetheless have top-of-the-line NFL defenses, which can largely stay intact, and produce again two stars on offense in Garrett Wilson and Breece Corridor. —Zack Rosenblatt, Jets author

Inexperienced Bay Packers +2500

I’m stunned the Packers’ odds are that lengthy, contemplating how they completed the 2023 season. After beginning 3-6, they made the playoffs, dismantled the Cowboys within the wild-card spherical, and gave the 49ers a combat within the Divisional Spherical. In his first season because the full-time beginning quarterback, Jordan Love confirmed why he will be the man for Inexperienced Bay for the subsequent decade-plus, and most of his supporting forged, on an offense that flourished within the second half of the season, will return in 2024. The massive questions are within the different two phases. Can the Packers straighten out their kicking sport (pun meant), and might new defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley maximize the expertise on his facet of the ball in a means Joe Barry couldn’t? If Inexperienced Bay can do each, there’s no cause the Packers can’t be in competition to carry the Lombardi Trophy again house. —Matt Schneidman, Packers author

To take the Dolphins as severe Tremendous Bowl contenders, they must beat groups on the identical stage as them or higher on a semi-consistent foundation. That didn’t occur in 2023, with just one win in opposition to a staff that completed with a profitable report — Dallas Cowboys in Week 16. The 2024 schedule might be harder, too, taking part in the AFC South, NFC West and the Packers outdoors of Miami’s AFC East opponents.

Tua Tagovailoa, as of now, will enter the ultimate 12 months of his rookie contract in 2024. Will Miami deal with its quarterback earlier than Week 1? Plus, it’s important to marvel if the protection can come collectively after quite a few accidents, particularly at edge rusher, which took a toll late within the 2023 marketing campaign. Then it’s important to marvel if the Dolphins are the most effective and even second-best staff within the AFC East with the Payments because the reigning champs and Aaron Rodgers set to take greater than a handful of snaps at QB like final 12 months’s injury-plagued season. —Larry Holder, NFL senior author

the Texans might be one of many sexiest bets heading into the 2024 season — two of the highest younger gamers at premium positions with quarterback C.J. Stroud and edge rusher Will Anderson. Throw in budding star coach DeMeco Ryans and an enhancing roster, and Houston has all of the makings of the staff able to take the subsequent step.

Now, the Texans gained’t be going through a bottom-barrel schedule this season after profitable the AFC South. So that they’ll get the Chiefs, Ravens and Payments, together with the AFC East and NFC North becoming a member of their AFC South slate — throw a wholesome NFL Draft compadre, Anthony Richardson, again for the Colts. However the Texans appeared to face tall in opposition to all comers through the 2023 common season earlier than falling flat in opposition to the Ravens within the AFC divisional spherical. I count on the Texans to enhance in 2024 and for Stroud solely to get higher after one of many strongest rookie QB campaigns in latest reminiscence. If that occurs, you by no means know … —Holder
