Current Super Bowl Odds 2020

The 2019-20 NFL season is underway, and the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots once again look like the team to beat. There were plenty of developments in Week 6 with the Chiefs, Rams, and Cowboys all taking losses (again). That will affect the NFL Futures market, so at TheLines, we’re breaking down the weekly changes to the Super Bowl odds in 2019-20.

Odds may vary depending on your sportsbook. In this article, we will identify Super Bowl betting odds at FanDuel Sportsbook and DraftKings Sportsbook. These numbers will continue to shift throughout the regular season, so keep an eye on any key changes due to injuries or other news. And get ready to “buy low” if a potential Super Bowl champion sees improved odds due to a rough spell.

Week 7 Super Bowl Betting Odds Report

The favorites

New England Patriots (+260): While the Patriots offense has done little to distinguish itself in recent weeks, their defense remains absolutely smothering with 14 interceptions compared to just 2 passing touchdowns allowed. The expectation is that Tom Brady will figure it out offensively with the Pats potentially able to trade for another receiving weapon or coax Rob Gronkowski out of retirement.

New Orleans Saints (+700): The Saints won ugly in Jacksonville with their defense carrying the day in a 13-6 win. With Drew Brees (thumb) set to return potentially as early as Week 8, their odds continue to creep up from +800 to +700 on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Kansas City Chiefs (+900): The Chiefs have dropped from +500 to +900 on DraftKings Sportsbook after taking consecutive losses at home. Tyreek Hill (shoulder) is still only a part-time player and Sammy Watkins (hamstring) didn’t play against Houston, but the bigger concern for KC is getting steamrolled by opposing rushing attacks in both losses, resulting in a lopsided disadvantage in time of possession.

The contenders

San Francisco 49ers (+1100): The Niners are now 5-0 following a win over the struggling Rams, which moves their odds from +1600 to +1100 on DK Sportsbook. However, the Rams are vastly overrated, Niners fans took over the L.A. Coliseum to make that a virtual home game, and Jimmy Garoppolo has not been playing well enough to trust SF as a legit Super Bowl contender.

Green Bay Packers (+1100): Aaron Rodgers pulled out a comeback win on Monday night with a skeleton crew of receivers. Oddsmakers treat that as an optimistic sign with Davante Adams (toe) and Geronimo Allison (chest) eventually slated to return, giving the Packers a slight boost from +1300 to +1100.

Philadelphia Eagles (+1700): The Eagles drop from +1300 to +1700 after a 38-20 loss in Minnesota. Philadelphia has one of the worst cornerback groups in the NFL and needs to fix that weakness in order to have any shot at an NFC title.

Los Angeles Rams (+1800): The Rams’ odds have dropped from +800 to +1800 after taking three straight losses. Their offense looked completely inept with Todd Gurley (quad) out last Sunday, as Jared Goff is regressing in a huge way.

The biggest movers

Seattle Seahawks (+1800): Seattle moves up from +2500 to +1800 after seeing a +700 bump last week following a Thursday night win over the Rams. Russell Wilson (+250 on DK Sportsbook) is now right behind Patrick Mahomes (+225) in odds to win MVP, and he’s not a player to bet against in the postseason.

Dallas Cowboys (+2000): Surprisingly, the Cowboys only drop from +1600 to +2000 after an embarrassing loss at the Jets. Dak Prescott is really struggling and the Cowboys defense has regressed, but perhaps they’ll right the ship when Tyron Smith (ankle), La’el Collins (knee), and Amari Cooper (quad) get healthy.

Houston Texans (+2200): The Texans have been rising for weeks after sitting at +3300 on DK Sportsbook early in the season. They only bump up from +2500 to +2200 after a win in KC, which essentially proved they’re one of the top three teams in the AFC right now. A victory over AFC South rival Indianapolis next week would go a long way towards securing a comfortable playoff seed for Houston.

What are NFL futures bets?

Futures bets are a great way for diehard sports fans to get themselves a little more involved in the upcoming success of their favorite teams and/or players. They can also be a good way for the maligned hometown fan to shift focus a little bit and worry more about the success (or failure) of rival teams.

Fans can put their prediction skills to the test by placing wagers on things such as the Super Bowl 54 champion, division and conference winners, win totals for each team, and individual player awards such as MVP and Offensive and Defensive Rookies of the Year.

Additionally, many books offer over/under lines on certain yardage or touchdown numbers for specific players or head-to-head options between two stars of a shared position. These are often referred to as “specials.”

Odds on certain futures will often be updated throughout the offseason as players change teams or suffer injuries. Once the season starts, odds can change wildly based on injuries, and fast or slow starts with bettors having to know the difference between pretenders and contenders.

There’s nothing like placing a wager on a longshot early in the offseason and watching the year play out in their, and your, favor. It can be ill-advised to bet on a favorite in the offseason with so much time for things to go against them.

How to bet NFL futures

All online sportsbooks come in slightly different layouts, but futures sections are typically in the same general area.

Simply click the “NFL” or “Pro Football” tab on your book of choice. The default screen is generally the Week 1 schedule with all 16 games listed, but in a dropdown menu or separate menu bar, there should be several other options, including futures and specials.

Peruse these sections at your whim, looking for the teams, players, or odds which matter most to you. A wager such as Super Bowl Champions or MVP will have money options listed, whether it be all 32 teams or 30-50 of the league’s biggest stars. Each option will have odds listed next to it.

Betting the New England Patriots to repeat as Super Bowl champions at +700 means a $100 wager returns $700. A safer bet such as the Patriots to win the AFC East comes with diminished -600 odds for a return of $16.67 on a $100 bet.

Win totals and player specials typically come in the form of over/unders on a number set by the sportsbook. Each side of the bet will have odds for any result coming in above or below the line.

Where to legally bet futures in the US

NFL futures and those of other sports can legally be placed at authorized sportsbooks in Nevada, New Jersey, Mississippi, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. Currently, New Jersey, Nevada, and Pennsylvania are the only states allowing mobile sports betting, but more are likely soon on the way.
