NFL Futures: Top Early Super Bowl Winners (2024-25)

by |

The NFL Draft set new attendance records, with over 700,000 people estimated to have taken part in the festivities in Detroit over the weekend. That is one sign that fans are revved up and excited for next season, and there’s no better way to feed that excitement than some futures bets!

Now that most teams’ rosters are set, barring any unforeseen trades or signings in free agency, we can analyze the odds and make our best prediction for next year’s Super Bowl winner. The Kansas City Chiefs became the first team since the 2003/2004 New England Patriots to win back-to-back Super Bowls, and cashed at odds of +650 in the preseason, which was the shortest odds of any team. However, no team has ever won three straight Super Bowls, so we are looking elsewhere to build our portfolio of next year’s champions.

Read on for our best bets to win the 2024-25 Super Bowl.

Best Bets to Win the 2024-25 NFL Super Bowl

Baltimore Ravens (+900)

The Baltimore Ravens were just one home win against the Kansas City Chiefs away from representing the AFC in the Super Bowl. The team earned the conference’s No. 1 seed with an NFL-best 13 wins last season, including a 7-1 road record. Quarterback Lamar Jackson proved he was worthy of being the highest-paid player in the sport’s history and was he rewarded for being an integral part of the team’s success by winning his second MVP award. He set career highs in completions (307), attempts (457), completion percentage (67.2%), and passing yards (3,678), and he should be bolstered by the team’s offseason acquisition of Derrick Henry. Jackson led the team in rushing from the quarterback position last year, but now he can hand off some of the duties to a five-time 1,000 yard rusher and four-time Pro Bowler.

The Ravens were eighth in Offensive Efficiency and first in Defensive Efficiency last year, per ESPN Analytics. Their offense ranked in the top five in the league in yards per game, rushing yards per game, and points per game. More specifically, the rushing attack averaged 156.5 yards per game (1st) and 4.9 yards per rush (3rd), and it had a 73% Block Win Rate (4th) and 45% Success Rate (4th). Baltimore does project to have three new starters on the offensive line after trading Morgan Moses to the Jets and Kevin Zeitler signed with the Lions. The Ravens might struggle to win 13 games again with more competition from within their division (namely due to a healthy Joe Burrow and a revamped Steelers quarterback room), we have confidence in head coach John Harbaugh, who ranks top three in wins since being hired in 2008, and has led the team to a 72% winning percentage at home.

Philadelphia Eagles (+1700)

This wager is largely predicated on the Philadelphia Eagles’ much-needed off-season reset after what started as such a promising season last year but ended in disappointment. Philadelphia became just the third team to start 10-1 or better and then fail to reach the Divisional Round. The team is just two years removed from ranking third in Offensive Efficiency and second in Defensive Efficiency, but those numbers dropped to seventh in Offensive Efficiency and 29th in Defensive Efficiency last year.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts averaged a career-low 3.9 yards per rush last season, and the team hired Kellen Moore as Offensive Coordinator to help fix those issues. Hurts was tied for the third-highest Total QBR when using motion in 2023 (72), but the Eagles only used motion on an NFL-low 26% of plays. Philadelphia is also due for much more success in 2024 if Hurts can fix his turnover issues. His eight turnovers in 2022 were tied for the second-fewest, while his 20 turnovers last year were the fourth-most.

We are banking on the Eagles offense in 2024 looking much like it did for the first 11 games of 2023, when it averaged 27.4 offensive points per gameand 7.5 yards per attempt, alongside an 18-10 TD-INT ratio and a turnover rate of 13% turnover per drive. The team added a huge piece to the backfield in Saquon Barkley and addressed many defensive needs in the draft, using their first three picks on cornerbacks and an edge rusher. Mel Kiper graded Philadelphia’s draft as an “A” and they have the perfect blend of youth and veteran leadership to make a Super Bowl run in the weaker of the two NFL conferences.
