2025 Super Bowl Predictions with Futures Odds

by Spencer Toth - 1/15/2025

Super Bowl predictions Xavier Worthy Kansas City Chiefs

Just eight teams remain in the quest for the ultimate sporting prize. The 2025 Super Bowl will be one for the ages, and there is still plenty of money to be made at this stage of the season. In the AFC, the Kansas City Chiefs are looking to become the first three-time champions, while the MVP favorites Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are still searching for their first career Super Bowl appearances. In the NFC, the Lions feel this could be the year they finally get a taste of the big game, and they are the overwhelming favorites to advance. Five teams have emerged with +550 or shorter odds, while a trio of underdogs will look to play spoiler. Here are your 2025 Super Bowl picks before teams head into a high-stakes Divisional round. 

Doc’s Sports offers NFL expert picks for every game on our NFL predictions page.

Detroit Lions +275

There can certainly be arguments made for the Detroit Lions to be the Super Bowl favorites, but +275 odds are far too short with three games still to go. Detroit is extremely banged up on the defensive side of the ball, and even an extra week off will not be enough to allow a deep postseason run. In the Divisional Round, they face a red-hot Washington Commanders team who will be looking to extend their Cinderella story. Both of these teams love going for it on fourth down, but a few failed conversions could see the Lions crash out of the postseason at their first hurdle. There is lots to like about Detroit, but there are also too many holes on their roster to warrant this price. At +275 odds, they are an easy pass. 

Kansas City Chiefs +350

The Kansas City Chiefs haven’t been as dominant as they have in years past, but they once again locked up the top seed and have a favorable Divisional Round matchup. Either the Ravens or Bills await them in the Conference round, but it’s hard to envision Kansas City stumbling against the lowly Houston Texans. Patrick Mahomes has been professional in the pocket and has allowed his defense to get big stops when they need it most. The Chiefs aren’t the dominant offensive force they once were, but their truly elite defense makes them just as dangerous as ever. They don’t lack any motivation as they look to become three-time champions, and this +350 price tag still carries some value. They will likely be home favorites against either the Ravens or Bills and will see these odds slashed once the Conference round is set. There are still better options on the board, but a small sprinkle on the NFL’s most dominant team can’t hurt. 

Philadelphia Eagles: +420

The Eagles have a relatively straightforward path to the Super Bowl, and the +420 price tag is exceptional value at this stage of the season. Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley have been unstoppable behind a towering offensive line, as the Eagles dominance on the ground seemingly grows week by week. Their ability to play physical football makes them excellent Super Bowl candidates, and an overvalued Lions team ensures they still have a juicy price tag for the big game. They lost key defensive players in the offseason, but rookies Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean have been excellent replacements. The Eagles have a favorable Divisional round matchup against the Rams and will be liking their odds against either the Lions or Commanders in the Conference round. We may need to hedge when we head into the Super Bowl, but there is no chance you will regret scooping them up at +420 odds. 

Baltimore Ravens +460

I firmly believe the Ravens and Bills matchup could serve as a pseudo-Super Bowl. The winner of this crucial matchup will likely be the outright favorites come Monday morning, making both intriguing prospects at this stage. I expect the Baltimore Ravens to win this game, meaning these +460 odds will not be available for long. The duo of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry is simply unstoppable, and the Bills don’t have the same ability to control the football on the ground. Jackson is trailing Josh Allen in the MVP odds, but the Baltimore signal caller has had the better season. Once you factor in the Ravens have the edge on the ground, on the defensive side of the ball, and a superior coaching staff, this becomes the top pick to make at this stage of the season. A probable road game at Arrowhead will be no easy task, but Lamar Jackson will finally expel his playoff demons with a dominant run to the Super Bowl. Additionally, the Ravens won the 2000 Super Bowl, and the 2012 Super Bowl, and it seems only fitting they continue the pattern with a 2024 Super Bowl victory. 

Buffalo Bills: +550

The Bills could certainly be the Super Bowl favorites if they beat the Baltimore Ravens, which would age this +550 pick quite nicely. However, while Josh Allen will play superhuman football, the Bills don’t have enough support to make a deep playoff run. Their defense is healthier than they were last season, but they are still a middle-of-the-pack unit. Allen and the Bills offense have been able to outscore their defensive issues in the regular season, but that will not be the case in the postseason. The competition is too fierce for a mediocre Bills defense to stand tall. The Bills Mafia will need to wait at least one more season before they get the chance to avenge their four straight Super Bowl losses 30 years ago. 

Los Angeles Rams +1800

The Los Angeles Rams had an emotional victory against the Vikings in the Wild Card round, but they will be unable to take the next step against the Eagles. The Rams looked very good in their victory, but the mountain of mistakes from Sam Darnold made this team look better than they are. Their offense is lacking playmakers, and the Tyler Higbee injury looms large. Sean McVay says Higbee will be good to go, but it’s hard to envision the veteran tight end being as effective as he was against the Vikings. Matthew Stafford played safe football against Minnesota but will need to open up the playbook against a dominant Eagles team. That is a dangerous thing to do, as the Eagles ball hawking secondary will punish Stafford for any errant throws. There are a few things to like about the Rams, but the +1800 odds aren’t long enough to warrant taking a shot with Los Angeles. 

Washington Commanders +2700

How far can Jayden Daniels go? He brought Washington their first playoff win since 2005, and this season is a massive success regardless of what happens next. When he got the ball in his hands with 4 minutes to go in a tie game, it felt inevitable that he would lead the Commanders to a time-expiring victory. The overnight transformation for the 4-13 team is truly remarkable, and lots of credit goes to head coach Dan Quinn and the new ownership in Washington. The Commanders had the biggest jump in PPG in the NFL since last season, the biggest drop in PPG allowed, and the highest jump in wins. There has never been a rookie quarterback to win the Super Bowl, and Daniels could be the player to end that streak. The +2700 odds offer plenty of value, and there is a realistic chance the Commanders could upset the Lions in the Divisional round. Both of these teams go for it on fourth down early and often, and the Commanders broke the NFL record with an 87% success rate this year (20/23). If Washington can convert their fourth downs and get a few crucial stops against the Lions, this +2700 price tag will quickly drop into triple digits. When looking for upside on an underdog, the Commanders check all the boxes. 

Houston Texans +5000

Not many people gave the Houston Texans much of a chance against the Chargers, but CJ Stroud led the Texans to a dominant victory. While that home win was impressive, a trip to Arrowhead followed by another road game against the Bills or Ravens is a whole different task. There is lots of upside for Houston with +5000 odds, but this team will not be making a deep run. A bright future awaits the Texans with CJ Stroud. And once they get healthy for next season, this could be a whole different story. However, the current edition of the Texans will crash out sooner rather than later, and even +5000 odds aren’t enough to lure me in.
