The Seattle Seahawks completed an unlikely Super Bowl run on Sunday, beating the New England Patriots 29-13 in a game that wasn't as close as the final score and securing a title from long-shot preseason odds of 60-1. Those are the longest odds for a champion in 25 years ... since the Patriots (60-1) beat the Los Angeles Rams in 2001.
One bettor cashed in to the tune of nearly $4.5 million on Seattle's Super Bowl 60 win, including a $50,000 wager on the Seahawks at 60-1 odds at BetMGM that was placed last August. Another bettor at DraftKings had a $10,000 futures wager on the Patriots at 80-1 odds that was made last January, so there is potential value in making Super Bowl wagers early if you're able to identify the right team.
Coming off their Super Bowl 60 win, the Seahawks (+800) are the favorite at BetMGM, followed closely by the Los Angeles Rams (+900). The Seahawks were No. 1 in DVOA this season and the Rams were the top power-rated team by oddsmakers, so it's not surprising that both are atop the odds board for next year, especially after Matthew Stafford indicated he'd be returning for the 2026-27 season. They are the only two teams with single-digit odds.
Two AFC powerhouses — the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills — have the next-best odds at 12-1, followed by the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles at 14-1 and two AFC West rivals (Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs) at 15-1. Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes tore his ACL in Week 16 and it's unknown if he'll be ready for Week 1.
Caleb Williams and the surprising Chicago Bears have 25-1 odds, their shortest preseason Super Bowl odds since 2019. Same for the Jacksonville Jaguars at 20-1, as they have their franchise's shortest preseason Super Bowl odds since 2018.
In all, it's a wide-open field for next season, with 17 of the 32 teams owning odds of 30-1 or better.
The Arizona Cardinals, New York Jets and Miami Dolphins have the longest odds among NFL teams at 250-1.
