The Philadelphia Eagles put an emphatic end to the Kansas City Chiefs’ bid for history in Super Bowl LIX. Who will win next year’s big game?
Our team takes a look at the early odds for Super Bowl 60 to find betting values.
Joe Fortenbaugh’s first bet: San Francisco 49ers (14-1)
Last year we sold high on the 49ers and this year we can buy low. This team was ravaged by injuries last season, went 2-6 in one-score games and finished 27th in turnover differential. That’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to identifying all of the positive regression indicators. Oh, did I forget to mention that the Niners rank ninth in available salary cap space ($50.3 million), hold the 11th overall pick in the 2025 draft and will face a last place schedule thanks to their 6-11 record? There’s a good reason this price has already dropped from 16-1 to 14-1.
Seth Walder’s first bet: Dallas Cowboys (50-1)
Do I think the Cowboys are going to win the Super Bowl next year? I do not. But 50-1 for a team that has the foundation of a Super Bowl team? Including a high-end quarterback in Dak Prescott, arguably the best defensive player on a per snap basis last season in Micah Parsons and an elite wide receiver in CeeDee Lamb. I can get on board with those odds. Some of the roster will be in transition, so Dallas is going to need to hit on some role players, and the new coaching staff is going to have to work out. But the upside is there, and that’s what we’re going for here.
Ben Solak’s first bet: Seattle Seahawks (50-1)
I was on Seahawks and Cardinals divisional futures last year, and it looks like I was just too early on the Rams/49ers fade. I’m interested in going back to the well this year, as an aging Matthew Stafford creates uncertainty in Los Angeles, and while the 49ers are about to endure the post-Super Bowl exodus that they staved off last season. It’s no surprise that both teams were in the news this week for upcoming veteran wide receiver trades — they need to get younger, cheaper and faster.
Meanwhile, the Seahawks endured plenty of in-season turmoil and came out fairly well. I love the offensive coordinator change to Klint Kubiak, who brings a dangerous Shanahan-inspired offense to Seattle, while head coach Mike Macdonald continues to consistently deliver above-average defenses. If the offensive line gets fixed, Seattle has all the pieces they need to win it all next year.
Pamela Maldonado’s first bet: Cincinnati Bengals (16-1)
The Bengals have significant cap space for 2026. Joe Burrow’s contract remains a major cap hit, but the team has room to make key roster improvements. With Burrow and Chase leading the way, Cincinnati’s offense remains one of the best in the league. Their 2025 schedule also looks favorable, with matchups against teams like the Falcons, Texans and Colts, plus third-place teams from the AFC South, West and NFC West. That could give them a smoother path to stacking wins. Throw in a stable front office and coaching staff, and the Bengals are in a great spot to make a legit championship run.
