Super Bowl 61 Betting Odds, Where Do Rams, Seahawks, Patriots Sit Among Top Favorites?

Hours before the 2026 NFL season kicks off, the latest odds for Super Bowl 61 have dropped with the Los Angeles Rams strongly favored to lift the Lombardi Trophy in February.

Per FanDuel Sportsbook , the Rams are a +550 favorite (bet $100 to win $550) to win the Super Bowl.

Here are the top-10 favorites to win Super Bowl 61 based on the betting odds.

It's not a surprise that the Rams are favored to win a championship after acquiring Myles Garrett and getting Aaron Donald out of retirement, but the extent to which they sit above every other team is remarkable.

One good sign for the Rams is they don't have lower odds because Yahoo Sports' Ben Fawkes noted preseason favorites at +500 or better have not won a Super Bowl in the last 30 years.

Since 2019, the only preseason favorite to win the Super Bowl were the Kansas City Chiefs in 2023.

Somewhat surprisingly, the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks are not second on the list. They are third because the Buffalo Bills are at No. 2 in the odds.

The Seahawks defeated the Rams in the NFC Championship Game last season before going on to beat the New England Patriots in Super Bow 60. Three games between the Seahawks and Rams during the 2025 were decided by a total of three points.

Despite the addition of A.J. Brown to their receiving corps, the reigning AFC champion Patriots only have the fifth-best odds in their own conference to win the Super Bowl. They are behind the Bills, Baltimore Ravens, Los Angeles Chargers and Chiefs.

The Chargers' odds are remarkable just given the history of the franchise, but it does speak to how much optimism there is around the offense with Mike McDaniel calling plays and Justin Herbert at quarterback.

Another surprise is that the Denver Broncos, who easily could have represented the AFC in the Super Bowl last season if Bo Nix had been healthy, are third in the odds just among AFC West teams.

It could be reasonably argued that Denver has the best roster on paper in the AFC. The Broncos were the No. 1 seed in the AFC last season with a 14-3 record and acquired Jaylen Waddle to play next to Courtland Sutton.

Just in case you are wondering about the low end of the totem pole, FanDuel has the Arizona Cardinals with the longest odds at +100000. The next four teams are the Miami Dolphins (+75000), New York Jets (+40000), Cleveland Browns (+40000) and Las Vegas Raiders (+15000).

We will find out how smart the oddsmakers are starting on Wednesday when the Patriots and Seahawks kickoff the season in a Super Bowl rematch at Lumen Field.
