Super Bowl favorites

Super Bowl odds for the 2023 – 2024 NFL season have been available at top sportsbooks for months. View odds to win the Super Bowl 2024 and betting information for each team here. First are the current Super Bowl favorites.

San Francisco 49ers (+600)

The Niners have won 10 consecutive regular season games with Brock Purdy starting and they’ve outscored opponents by an average margin of 30 PPG to 14 PPG this season. 

Kansas City Chiefs (+700)

Everything was rosy for the Chiefs when they returned to Arrowhead Stadium for their second home game against the hapless Bears. They’re getting -300 odds to win the AFC West for an eighth straight year.  

Philadelphia Eagles (+750)

With 557 rushing yards through three wins, the Eagles are showcasing their physicality, which will be a massive asset in cold-weather games later this season.

Miami Dolphins (+900)

The Dolphins have been an offensive juggernaut this season with the most total yards (1,651) through three games since 1940. They face their first divisional test this Sunday at Buffalo. 

Dallas Cowboys (+900)

Dallas came out flat and never recovered in a stunning loss at Arizona, dropping their title odds from +750 to +900 and giving them plus odds to win the NFC East.

Super Bowl betting 2024

Here are Super Bowl betting prices for the rest of the teams in the NFL.

Buffalo Bills (+1000)

The Bills dominated the Raiders and Commanders after dropping their opener at the Jets. Josh Allen (+850) is firmly in the MVP conversation. 

Cincinnati Bengals (+2000)

The Bengals avoided an 0-3 start on the strength of their pass rush, with Joe Burrow (calf) doing nothing to inspire the Futures market as he battled through injury.

Baltimore Ravens (+2000)

Injuries might have played a role in Baltimore’s inefficient performance in a home loss to the Colts. Now the Ravens play two division road games. 

Detroit Lions (+2000)

The Lions defense bounced back with a great performance against the visiting Falcons and they will try to maintain that momentum on Thursday night at Green Bay. 

Cleveland Browns (+2200)

Cleveland’s defense has been the most dominant unit in the league and has proven capable of winning games with ease if Deshaun Watson takes care of the ball. 

Jacksonville Jaguars (+2500)

The Jaguars’ title odds remain fixed at +2500, but their odds to win the AFC South shifted from -300 to +125 after they got blown out by the Texans at home.

Los Angeles Chargers (+3000)

Justin Herbert and Keenan Allen have been carrying the Chargers offense with Austin Ekeler (ankle) out.  

New Orleans Saints (+3000)

The Saints blew a 17-0 lead after Derek Carr (shoulder) was knocked out of their road test at Green Bay. New Orleans entered the season with the second-easiest schedule based on win projections. 

Atlanta Falcons (+4000)

Desmond Ridder struggled to beat an injury-riddled Lions defense and other teams might stack the box to dare Atlanta’s second-year QB to make downfield throws.

Seattle Seahawks (+4000)

The Seahawks offense is rolling after a rough Week 1 performance. They’re still listed at +128 (at FanDuel) to make the playoffs with +600 odds to win their division. 

Green Bay Packers (+5000)

Jordan Love has steered the Packers to a 2-1 record with Christian Watson (hamstring) and Aaron Jones (hamstring) working their way back to game action. 

Pittsburgh Steelers (+5000)

The Steelers defense has been great in consecutive games after getting trucked by the 49ers in their opener. Offensive coordinator Matt Canada is under fire for failing to get the offense rolling. 

Los Angeles Rams (+7000)

The Rams impressed in their opener and have remained competitive with Cooper Kupp (hamstring) on IR.

New England Patriots (+7000)

The Patriots continued their dominance over the Jets with a defensive 15-10 win. They head to Dallas in Week 4 to face a pissed off Cowboys team. 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+7500)

Baker Mayfield and the Bucs offense came crashing back to earth in their toughest matchup yet against the Eagles defense.

Tennessee Titans (+7500)

The Titans might have the worst offensive line in football, which has left Derrick Henry ineffective and led to Ryan Tannehill taking 13 sacks through three games. 

New York Giants (+7500)

Saquon Barkley (ankle) has a chance to return for a Monday Night matchup against Seattle after missing last Thursday’s loss at San Francisco. 

Washington Commanders (+7500)

The Commanders came crashing back to earth in a 37-3 home loss to the Bills. Sam Howell has been erratic in the pocket and is scrambling into sacks.

Minnesota Vikings (+8000)

With an 0-3 record, the Vikings are listed at +270 to make the playoffs. Only six teams have overcome an 0-3 start to make the playoffs in NFL history and the 2018 Texans are the only team to achieve that feat this century. 

Las Vegas Raiders (+10000)

Defenses are shutting down Josh Jacobs and the Raiders run game, and Jimmy Garoppolo continues to struggle with ball security. 

Indianapolis Colts (+13000)

The Colts are a couple of bounces away from a 3-0 start with Anthony Richardson looking promising and Gardner Minshew filling in well when called upon. 

New York Jets (+13000)

Zach Wilson has gone 30-for-63 (47.6%) and averaged 5.2 yards per attempt to post a 48.8 passer rating in two starts. The Jets are reportedly sticking with him as their starter.

Denver Broncos (+13000)

Denver’s defense has been a disaster through three games and the Broncos were on the wrong side of history in Sunday’s 70-20 blowout loss at Miami. 

Carolina Panthers (+20000)

Andy Dalton gave the Panthers offense a jumpstart in a plus matchup at Seattle. Bryce Young (ankle) could return in Week 4 against the Vikings. 

Chicago Bears (+20000)

The Bears have dropped 13 consecutive regular season games and allowed at least 25 points in each loss. Justin Fields looks lost and he took a number of hard hits in a blowout loss at Kansas City. 

Houston Texans (+30000)

C.J. Stroud is looking like the best quarterback in his draft class and the Texans have surrounded him with a good mix of veterans and youthful receivers. 

Arizona Cardinals (+40000)

Despite talk of tanking, the Cardinals have been competitive in all three games to open the season, and they stunned the Cowboys in Week 3.

Super Bowl spread

Here we will look at how the Super Bowl spread between the Eagles and Chiefs changed in the two weeks leading up to this past season’s Big Game. The Eagles opened as -2 favorites and the line briefly got to Eagles -2.5. The Super Bowl spread settled at Eagles -1.5 on February 2 and has sat there right up until kickoff. Here is a look at what the Super Bowl spread looked like in the days leading up to Super Bowl 57.

  • Eagles vs. Chiefs Opening Line: Eagles -2 vs. Chiefs +2
  • Super Bowl Line: Eagles -2.5 vs. Chiefs +2.5 (10:45 p.m. ET January 29)
  • Eagles vs. Chiefs Line: Eagles -2 vs. Chiefs +2 (3:30 p.m. ET January 30)
  • Super Bowl LVII Line: Eagles -1.5 vs. Chiefs +1.5 (February 2)
  • Eagles vs. Chiefs Spread: Eagles -1.5 vs. Chiefs +1.5 (February 3)
  • Super Bowl 57 Line: Eagles -1.5 vs. Chiefs +1.5 (February 5)
  • Eagles vs. Chiefs Point Spread: Eagles -1.5 vs. Chiefs +1.5 (February 6)
  • Philadelphia vs. Kansas City Super Bowl Line: Eagles -1.5 vs. Chiefs +1.5 (February 8)
  • Super Bowl Odds: Eagles -1.5 vs. Chiefs +1.5 (February 10)
  • Eagles vs. Chiefs Super Bowl Betting Odds: Eagles -1.5 vs. Chiefs +1.5 (February 12)

This was the tightest Super Bowl spread since the Chiefs appearance three years prior. Mahomes and crew had -1.5 odds to win against the 49ers and covered with a 31-20 win. Kansas City was a -3 favorite against the Buccaneers two years ago but lost by a 31-9 score.

Here is a snapshot of how much each team’s Super Bowl odds changed month-to-month and during the NFL Playoffs.

How to bet on the Super Bowl

The most popular way to bet on the Super Bowl is by the spread, moneyline or total. Most sportsbooks will have these as main options when you click on “NFL” or “Super Bowl” in the days leading up to the Big Game. Here is what DraftKings Sportsbook’s site looked like ahead of the Chiefs versus Eagles game.

When it’s not late January and early February the best way to make Super Bowl bets is through futures betting. Sportsbooks have odds for who will win the Super Bowl throughout the year. In fact, in late January and early February most books have odds to win the current season’s Super Bowl as well as the following year’s Big Game.

Super Bowl odds appear in different ways at different sportsbooks. At most US sports betting outlets they will appear as such:

Super Bowl odds

  • Bills (+550)
  • Buccaneers (+700)
  • Chiefs (+1000)
  • Packers (+1000)
  • Rams (+1200)
  • Chargers (+1400)

You may also see Super Bowl odds appear like this:

Super Bowl 57 odds 

  • Bills (11-2)
  • Buccaneers (7-1)
  • Chiefs (10-1)
  • Packers (10-1)
  • Rams (12-1)
  • Chargers (14-1)

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 looking at betting odds and placing wagers on things such as the Super Bowl LVII champion, division and conference winners, win totals for each team, and individual player awards such as MVP and NFL 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.

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 Super Bowl odds on the Buffalo Bills at +550 means a $100 wager returns $550. A safer bet such as the Bills to win the AFC East comes with diminished -240 odds.

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.

Best Super Bowl bets

Super Bowl point spread

Betting the Super Bowl spread will be one of the most popular methods of placing a wager on Super Bowl 57. The point spread is the projected margin of victory set by oddsmakers for the favored team. If a bettor wagers on the favorite to “cover” the point spread, the favorite must not only emerge victorious, but must do so by more than the point spread for the bet to be a winner. If the favorite wins the game but does so by less than the spread – or if it loses the game altogether – the bettor will have lost his/her money wagered.

Super Bowl moneyline

A moneyline wager is a bet on which team will win the game outright, regardless of margin. A moneyline wager is essentially the same type of bet that has been placed among family and friends for decades. When placed with a sportsbook, a moneyline wager pays winning bets based on the odds attached to the wager.

For example, a moneyline wager on the favorite may carry odds of “-110”, meaning a bettor wins $100 for every $110 wagered. Conversely, a moneyline wager on the underdog may carry odds of “+112”, meaning a bettor wins $112 for every $100 bet.

Super Bowl total (over/under)

An over under bet is one that hinges on whether the bettor correctly bet the game’s combined final score would finish over or under the number projected by the sportsbook at the time of the wager. For example, say Super Bowl odds carry a projected total of 49 points. If one wagers the “under” on that figure and the game finishes with a 30-21 final score, the bet is a losing one, since the combined total of that score is 51 points. However, if the game instead finishes 24-21 – a combined score of 45 – then that bet would be a winner.

Super Bowl player prop bets

Player Prop bets are wagers that are based on whether the individual player that’s the subject of the bet falls short of or exceeds certain statistical benchmarks. Sportsbooks typically offer an extensive array of such bets for an event of the magnitude of the Super Bowl. Player prop bets are based on the statistics usually accrued by players at different positions.

A prop bet for a quarterback would be whether the player throws for less or more than 250 yards in the game, for example. For a running back, an example would be whether the player receivers less or more than 20 carries. As for a receiver, an available prop wager could be based on whether the player falls below or exceeds a certain number of receptions during the game.

Even non-skill position players such as kickers or even an entire defensive unit can be the subject of prop bets. A standard prop bet for a kicker could be based on whether the player will successfully hit more or less than a certain number of field goals, or whether they will miss an extra point. For a defense, prop bets could be based on whether that unit will give up a certain amount of points, or whether it will score a touchdown on an interception or fumble return.

Player prop bets are most often graded on full-game statistics, but there are also prop bets that are based on statistics accrued during a specific quarter or specific half of a game.

Exotic Super Bowl prop bets

Prop bets for major events such as a Super Bowl can also center on outcomes that aren’t based on traditional in-game statistics. For example, a prop bet can be placed on whether the game-opening coin toss comes up as heads or tails or which team will win the toss; the color of the Gatorade that is dumped on the winning team’s coach; and what the jersey number of one of the players who scores during the game might be.

There are even prop wagers based on the two flagship non-sports events associated with the game – the National Anthem and the halftime show. Bettors can place wagers on contingencies such as the length of time of the National Anthem, whether the performer will omit a word, whether a certain celebrity will make an unexpected appearance during the halftime festivities or how many songs will be performed by the halftime act.

Betting on Super Bowl MVP

The most prestigious individual Super Bowl-related award is that of Super Bowl MVP. While any player is technically eligible for the distinction, the best odds by and far lie with the quarterback position, which has taken home 31 of the 56 MVP awards in Super Bowl history. Five quarterbacks have won the MVP award on multiple occasions. The Patriots’ Tom Brady leads the way with five. The 49ers’ Joe Montana follows with three. Meanwhile, the Packers’ Bart Starr, the Steelers’ Terry Bradshaw and the Giants’ Eli Manning each garnered two apiece.

Even when a future Hall of Famer like Brady is on the winning side, it’s important to remember there is no such thing as a surefire bet. In the Patriots’ win over the Rams in February of 2019, receiver Julian Edelman earned MVP honors with a 10-reception, 141-yard tally. Rams QB Matthew Stafford was one of the big favorites to win

Alternate Lines for the Super Bowl

Alternate lines are those offered by sportsbooks as secondary options to the official point spread that has been set. These lines feature an extensive array of different point spreads for both the favorite and underdog side of the game. These lines typically begin at points well above the number associated with each team in the official game line and range well into the other side of the bet, i.e. allowing for a heavy favorite to be bet as a heavy underdog and vice versa.

To cite an example from a recent NFL title game, the Chiefs – Bucs matchup, Kansas City entered the game as 3-point favorites at many sportsbooks. Alternate lines offered could have included a wagering opportunity on the Chiefs as seven-point favorites instead. Moreover, that bet would have included a very favorable “price” – the preset ratio at which the bet would pay out – due to the much lower probability of the Chiefs not only winning, but winning by more than a touchdown.

Super Bowl live betting

Live betting offers bettors the opportunity to place wagers on the point spread, moneyline or projected total of a game as odds on each fluctuate depending on the flow of a game. With a live betting option, a bettor doesn’t have to be locked into just the wagers they placed prior to the start of the game or at halftime. Rather, if, for example, the favored team unexpectedly falls behind by a two-touchdown margin in the first half, the bettor can hedge his original wager by investing in a new line with odds that reflect how the game is unfolding.

Betting tips and strategies

Line shopping and getting the best number

With any purchase, shopping for the best price is advisable. Sports betting is no different. The “prices” associated with sports betting are the odds attached to each wager that determine the payout if the bet is a winner. Other sportsbook-to-sportsbook variables that are important for a better to also be conscious of include possible differences in the point spread and projected total posted for a particular game.

The original lines set by oddsmakers when a game is first posted can often be the “sharpest”, i.e. most difficult to consistently beat over time. Therefore, the biggest edge can often come from waiting things out and seeing what way the betting public’s wagers move a point spread as a game draws closer. Factors such as faulty “groupthink” can sometimes alter a team’s projected advantage to the extent it creates a tangible edge for a sharp bettor.

One caveat about the Super Bowl is that no one NFL game sees its line affected more by “sharp money.” Therefore, line movement for this particular game is often the byproduct of bets placed based on an effective process more than any other during the season.

Fading the public

The strategy of betting against the most popular side of a bet can pay off on occasion. It is not a strategy that’s necessarily advisable to be utilized with great frequency, however. There are certain instances when the general public’s infatuation with a certain team’s reputation (or in some cases, even certain superstar players such as Patrick Mahomes) can lead to a notable amount of money being wagered on that team. The line, in turn, could move to a point where a team is favored by an increasingly unrealistic amount of points.

By “fading the public” in such an instance, a bettor could exploit the situation and place a winning bet on the underdog to slide in under the spread. The same could hold true for a projected total that gets bet up to a certain level due to the offensive reputations of one or both of the teams.

Using advanced metrics

While many bettors likely put only a modest amount of what could accurately be termed “research” before placing a wager, there’s certainly no shortage of metrics available to be evaluated for those who wish to avail themselves. For team-based wagers such as moneylines, point spreads and projected totals, bettors can review the history of each team’s performance in each category.

However, where advanced metrics can be particularly helpful is when making individual- or team-based prop wagers. Statistical trends can certainly help a bettor make an informed decision on whether a certain receiver is likely to exceed a certain amount of catches versus a certain opponent’s defense, for example. The same could apply to countless other such prop wagers, such as a quarterback reaching the 300-yard threshold and a running back eclipsing the 100-yard mark, to cite just two other examples.

A good example from a recent Super Bowl was the matchup between the Chiefs and 49ers, involving San Francisco star tight end George Kittle. Say a sportsbook offered a prop wager on Kittle making over/under five catches. A bettor evaluating this wager might have gone with the Over when considering Kansas City faced the second-most tight end targets (141) in the league last season and tied for the third-most catches (96) allowed to the position. Kittle finished the game with four catches, just slightly under the number – a win for Under bettors.

Middling

“Middling” a game is defined as a bettor placing wagers on both sides of the contest. Football is considered the most popular sport to utilize this strategy. Because it involves placing more than one wager on a game, middling can be a strategy that’s rarely used by novice bettors. However, it ironically helps mitigate the risk involved by significantly upping the chances of one of the two bets being a winner.

Middling is typically made possible when there is notable line movement on a game within a week. Using an example from the Super Bowl LV Chiefs-Bucs matchup, hypothetically, say Kansas City opened up as a three-point favorite. A bettor initially places a wager on this line, but over the course of the two weeks, the line is bet up even further to a seven-point projected advantage for KC. That same bettor then places a bet on the Bucs +7, i.e. San Francisco to lose by six points or less or win outright.

In this example, the bettor is a winner on both bets if either:

  • The Chiefs win by four points or more.
  • The Bucs lose by six points or less or win outright.

Taking advantage of bonus bets and promotions

Legal, regulated sportsbooks typically offer a variety of enticing promotions, for both first-time and existing customers. Those offers are even more prominent for an event the magnitude of the Super Bowl. Bettors should therefore be on the lookout for such offers as soon as the participants for Super Bowl LIV are decided in this coming weekend’s conference championship games.

Examples of special offers and promotions include:

  • Bonus bets up to a certain amount. This year, DraftKings Sportsbook offering first-time depositors up to $1,250 in bonus bets.
  • Special odds boosts on certain wagers.
  • A variety of potential special offers involving prop bets, parlays, teasers and other bet types.

How much money is bet on the Super Bowl?

The Super Bowl is annually the most lucrative single-event sports betting opportunity. It is estimated that nearly $600 million was legally bet on last year’s Super Bowl between the Bengals and Rams.

At many sportsbooks, proposition bets constitute more than half of the wagers and amount placed for the Super Bowl. With the ongoing expansion of legalized, regulated sports wagering across the United States, the total “handle” – the cumulative amount wagered on the game – should continue to edge upward for several years based solely on the increase in legal betting opportunities for sports fans.
