Sportsbooks have not come to a consensus on the favorite to win Super Bowl LX next year.
After the Eagles’ dominant 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday in Super Bowl LIX, Philadelphia grabbed favorite status at BetMGM (+650) and DraftKings (+600).
But both the Chiefs and Eagles had the shortest odds at FanDuel Sportsbook at +650, while ESPN BET pegged the Baltimore Ravens as co-favorites with Kansas City at +650 to win it all.
A Kansas City victory on Sunday would have made the Chiefs the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls. That result surely would have locked up their status as the team to beat in the 2025 season.
Instead, not only did the Chiefs lose, they were behind 40-6 late before a pair of touchdowns in garbage time. It was tracking to be one of the most one-sided Super Bowls on record before the late scores.
The Chiefs’ loss was perhaps most reflected in their odds at BetMGM. They didn’t even crack the top two, instead settling into a tie for third with the Buffalo Bills at +750, behind both Philadelphia and Baltimore (+700).
The Eagles, for their part, have been to three of the past eight Super Bowls and won two. Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts is just entering the prime of his career at age 26, and the offseason signing of star running back Saquon Barkley to a three-year contract made an immediate difference.
The Ravens have yet to win a Super Bowl in the Lamar Jackson era. Their path is made more difficult by sharing a conference with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, who have won the AFC championship five of the past six years.
The Ravens, Chiefs and Bills were all tied for second on DraftKings’ board at +700 as of this writing.
