"For better or worse, the modern era of NFL preseason favorites has been defined by dynasties. For eight of the nine seasons, from 2016 through 2024, the preseason Super Bowl favorite was either the Tom Brady-Bill Belichick era New England Patriots or the Patrick Mahomes-Andy Reid era Kansas City Chiefs. Contrast that with the 2015 season, when six franchises entered with odds shorter than +1000 to win the championship."
"One look at the 2025 Super Bowl odds board should illustrate that the league is taking a step in a more balanced direction. The Baltimore Ravens and reigning champion Philadelphia Eagles are co-favorites heading into the campaign, showing +650 odds at ESPN BET. Right behind are the Buffalo Bills at +700, followed by Kansas City at +750 and the Detroit Lions at +1000."
Preseason Super Bowl odds for 2025 show increased balance across the league, with the Baltimore Ravens and reigning Philadelphia Eagles listed as co-favorites at +650. The Buffalo Bills are next at +700, followed by the Kansas City Chiefs at +750 and the Detroit Lions at +1000. Five teams enter the season at +1000 or shorter for the first time since 2017, reflecting greater parity. Public betting has concentrated on Baltimore, Buffalo and Philadelphia across sportsbooks, with Buffalo drawing the most tickets and Philadelphia drawing the most handle. Significant individual wagers and conference-market activity underscore heavy public interest.
