The Chiefs beat the 49ers in extra time to win Super Bowl LVIII.
Is it too early to begin taking a look forward to Super Bowl LVIX held in New Orleans? Never. The San Francisco 49ers are Super Bowl favorites at +500 on BetMGM, in spite of dropping to the Kansas City Chiefs (+700 to copy) in Super Bowl 58. The Baltimore Ravens (+850), Buffalo Bills (+1200) and Detroit Lions (+1200) have the next-best odds.
Of route, the Chiefs are nonetheless probably the most favorites to win the AFC. It’s assumed that basic supervisor Brett Veach will do the whole lot in his energy to seek out lend a hand for Patrick Mahomes after the offense’s struggles for many of the common season.
Along with the Chiefs, the Ravens, Bills and Bengals are the favorites from the AFC. The Jets have worse odds now (+3000) than they did right now closing season (+2500), and that used to be even prior to they’d received Aaron Rodgers from Green Bay, despite the fact that rumors have been already swirling that Rodgers sought after out of Wisconsin and into the Big Apple.
Of the groups with new head coaches, the Los Angeles Chargers (+2500) have the most efficient odds with new trainer Jim Harbaugh. Los Angeles is $45 million over the wage cap for subsequent season, consistent with OverTheCap.com.
If you’re searching for groups that may make a dash in loose company, the Commanders, Titans, Patriots, Bengals and Colts have essentially the most wage cap room at this time.
Detroit (+1200) has finished its 180 flip from lovely losers to now a favourite within the NFC. Dallas and Philadelphia are nonetheless close to the highest in their respective meetings, 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 Super Bowl. All 3 groups could have new coaches subsequent 12 months.
Putting bets on favorites this a long way out almost definitely isn’t a just right having a bet technique, despite the fact that. Consider that the Chiefs had worse odds getting into this 12 months’s playoffs (+1000) than they did after closing 12 months’s Super Bowl win (+600).

Super Bowl 2025 odds: Texans, Eagles and Falcons have largest swings from closing preseason
Detroit Lions +1200
The Lions have the fifth-best Super Bowl odds in 2024, and that feels with reference to proper. In their first postseason run in combination, with the fifth-youngest roster within the NFL, the Lions reached the NFC Championship recreation and held a 24-7 lead. Had they made the essential performs to win the sport, it will’ve been them in Las Vegas hoping to hoist the Lombardi. Instead, they’ll use a disappointing loss as motivation and paintings to get there subsequent season. Detroit’s superb skill — Penei Sewell, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Aidan Hutchinson, Sam LaPorta, Jahmyr Gibbs, and so forth. — will have to simplest recuperate with age. QB Jared Goff has now taken two groups to NFC Championship video games and is coming off some other robust season. Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is again for some other 12 months, turning down head training alternatives over again. And the Lions will glance to support a secondary that wishes an inflow of skill. Detroit’s agenda and department glance more difficult on paper, however making an allowance for all of the Lions have going for them, they’re well-positioned for some other deep postseason run. —Colton Pouncy, Lions creator
New York Jets +3000
The Jets, up to any group in this checklist, be capable of swing wildly in both path. That’s the Aaron Rodgers issue. The Jets have a large number of holes to fill on offense (offensive line, huge receiver) and issues to triumph over (offensive coordinator) however in the long run how a long way the Jets pass (or now not) relies in large part on what model of Rodgers they get. He will 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 probably the most superb NFL defenses, which can most commonly stay intact, and convey again two stars on offense in Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall. —Zack Rosenblatt, Jets creator
Green Bay Packers +2500
I’m shocked the Packers’ odds are that lengthy, making an allowance for 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 battle within the Divisional Round. In his first season because the full-time beginning quarterback, Jordan Love confirmed why he can also be the fellow for Green Bay for a higher decade-plus, and maximum of his supporting forged, on an offense that flourished in the second one part of the season, will go back in 2024. The giant questions are within the different two levels. Can the Packers straighten out their kicking recreation (pun meant), and will new defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley maximize the skill on his aspect of the ball in some way Joe Barry couldn’t? If Green Bay can do each, there’s no explanation why the Packers can’t be in rivalry to carry the Lombardi Trophy again house. —Matt Schneidman, Packers creator
To take the Dolphins as critical Super Bowl contenders, they have got to overcome groups at the similar degree as them or higher on a semi-consistent foundation. That didn’t occur in 2023, with just one win towards a group that completed with a profitable file — Dallas Cowboys in Week 16. The 2024 agenda might be more difficult, too, taking part in the AFC South, NFC West and the Packers out of doors of Miami’s AFC East fighters.
Tua Tagovailoa, as of now, will input the overall 12 months of his rookie contract in 2024. Will Miami care for its quarterback prior to Week 1? Plus, you need to wonder whether the protection can come in combination after a lot of accidents, in particular at edge rusher, which took a toll past due within the 2023 marketing campaign. Then you need to wonder whether the Dolphins are the most efficient and even second-best group within the AFC East with the Bills because the reigning champs and Aaron Rodgers set to take greater than a handful of snaps at QB like closing 12 months’s injury-plagued season. —Larry Holder, NFL senior creator
You know the Texans might be probably the most sexiest bets heading into the 2024 season — two of the highest younger gamers at top rate positions with quarterback C.J. Stroud and edge rusher Will Anderson. Throw in budding famous person trainer DeMeco Ryans and an bettering roster, and Houston has all of the makings of the group able to take the next move.
Now, the Texans received’t be going through a bottom-barrel agenda this season after profitable the AFC South. So they’ll get the Chiefs, Ravens and Bills, at the side of 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. But the Texans appeared to stand tall towards all comers right through the 2023 common season prior to falling flat towards the Ravens within the AFC divisional spherical. I be expecting the Texans to support in 2024 and for Stroud simplest to recuperate after probably the most most powerful rookie QB campaigns in contemporary reminiscence. If that occurs, you by no means know … —Holder
