The NFL offseason has just begun, after the Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl 60, but it’s never too early to look ahead to odds — and wagers — on next year’s big game.
After all, not many people were anticipating the Seahawks (60-1 preseason odds at BetMGM) and Patriots (80-1) meeting in the Super Bowl at this time last year.

In addition to bets on single teams to win the Super Bowl, sportsbooks also allow bettors to place exactas that give bettors the ability to predict the exact result of Super Bowl LXI. One bettor at DraftKings recently wagered $2,500 on Joe Burrow’s Cincinnati Bengals to beat Dak Prescott’s Dallas Cowboys in next year’s Super Bowl at 500-1 odds.
The bet would win $1.25 million.
The Seahawks are +800 favorites to repeat at BetMGM, followed by the Los Angeles Rams (+900), Buffalo Bills (12-1) and Baltimore Ravens (12-1).
Burrow and the Bengals reached the Super Bowl a few years ago, falling 24-21 to the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI on Feb. 13, 2022. Cincinnati went 6-11 last season and Burrow only started in eight games due to injury (the Bengals went 5-3 in those games).

The Cowboys haven’t won (or reached) a Super Bowl in over 30 years, last winning Super Bowl XXX by a score of 27-17 over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Jan. 28, 1996. Dallas went 7-9-1 last season and finished in second place in the NFC East.
Neither team made the postseason.
Super Bowl LXI will be played on Sunday, Feb. 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
