The 2025-26 NFL regular season is over, as we turn attention towards the 14 teams remaining and Super Bowl LX in a few weeks in Santa Clara, California.
And as odd as it may have sounded before the season, Sam Darnold and the Seattle Seahawks are the Super Bowl favorites at sportsbooks entering the playoffs for the first time since 2014. The Seahawks opened with 60-1 odds at BetMGM to win Super Bowl 60.

Darnold led Seattle to a 14-3 record, an NFC West division title and the NFC’s No. 1 seed, including a 13-3 victory on Saturday night in Week 18 over the San Francisco 49ers. The Seahawks have +400 odds to win Super Bowl 60 at BetMGM, just ahead of potential MVP Matthew Stafford’s Los Angeles Rams (+425).
The Rams have been oddsmakers’ highest power-rated team for several weeks.
One bettor at BetMGM had the foresight to place $150,000 in futures wagers on the Seahawks back in August. The bettor wagered:
-
$50,000 on the Seahawks to win Super Bowl 60 at 60-1 odds to win $3 million
-
$50,000 on the Seahawks to win NFC at 28-1 odds to win $1.4 million
-
$50,000 on the Seahawks to make playoffs at +185 odds to win $92,500
The bettor would win just under $4.5 million if Seattle wins the Super Bowl.
Bo Nix and the AFC’s No. 1 seed Denver Broncos have the next-best odds at +650. The Broncos have a first-round bye and went 8-1 at home this season, although they were only 5-4 against the spread at Mile High.

The defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles (+900) are the only other team with odds better than 10-1, and Philadelphia is a 3.5-point home favorite against the San Francisco 49ers (25-1 to win Super Bowl) in the first round.
Josh Allen’s Buffalo Bills and Drake Maye’s New England Patriots both have 10-1 odds, followed by the Houston Texans (13-1) and Jacksonville Jaguars (15-1). This will be the first postseason Allen has played in that won’t have Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson in it. Heading into Week 18, the Bills had the most wagers (10.3%) and total dollars wagered (14%) of any team to win the Super Bowl at BetMGM.
Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers, who fell into a playoff spot with a 26-24 win on Sunday night after Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop missed a potential game-winning 44-yard field goal, have the second-longest odds at 50-1. The Steelers host the Texans in the wild-card round and are 3-point home underdogs currently.
The Carolina Panthers, winners of the NFC South with an 8-9 record, have the longest odds of any NFL team to win Super Bowl 60 at 150-1.
