Ozoon’s NFL futures market offers a clear picture for NFL Playoffs predictions: the Los Angeles Rams sit at +500 to win Super Bowl, ahead of the Buffalo Bills (+1100) and a tightly packed group including the Baltimore Ravens, Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, and Kansas City Chiefs.
These are pre-season NFL Futures rather than in-season predictions – a snapshot of how our oddsmakers and the betting public think the 2026-27 campaign will play out. But they do speak volumes about which teams are most likely to win. Here are the leading contenders on the Super Bowl LXI odds board at Ozoon Sportbook.
– Los Angeles Rams +500
– Buffalo Bills +1100
– Baltimore Ravens +1200
– Seattle Seahawks +1200
– San Francisco 49ers +1500
– Kansas City Chiefs +1500
– Los Angeles Chargers +1800
– Philadelphia Eagles +1800
– Denver Broncos +2000
– Detroit Lions +2000
– Houston Texans +2000
– New England Patriots +2000
Now that the NFL Draft is behind us and most of the notable free agents have been snapped up, these numbers should remain relatively stable between now and the start of training camp in late July. That makes them especially useful for NFL playoff predictions; 2026 should be highly competitive, and these odds will change as injuries, roster moves and early game results start piling up, but if you’re looking for the next champions, the LA Rams are the clear first choice for Super Bowl LXI on their own turf at SoFi Stadium.
Conference Championship and No. 1 Seed Odds
AFC Championship and No. 1 Seed Favourites
NFL conference championship odds can tell us even more about what the future might bring. To underscore how far ahead the Rams are in the Super Bowl race, look at the AFC Championship odds, where the favourites carry the same +500 price just to win their conference.
– Buffalo Bills +500
– Baltimore Ravens +500
– Kansas City Chiefs +750
– Los Angeles Chargers +800
– New England Patriots +800
– Cincinnati Bengals +900
– Denver Broncos +1000
– Houston Texans +1000
Buffalo and Baltimore may be tied atop this list, but it appears bettors have more faith in the Bills to go the distance and win the Big Game. They also don’t seem convinced the Patriots (who lost Super Bowl LX to Seattle) can go all the way – or the Bengals, who check in at +2200 on the Super Bowl odds board.
The pessimism becomes even more obvious when you look at Ozoon’s AFC No. 1 seed odds:
– Baltimore Ravens +375
– Buffalo Bills +500
– Kansas City Chiefs +750
– Los Angeles Chargers +750
– New England Patriots +850
– Houston Texans +950
– Denver Broncos +1000
– Cincinnati Bengals +1200
Now it’s the Ravens who are clearly ahead of the pack. This is partly because the AFC North schedule looks so easy this year – more on that in a moment. First, let’s return to the NFC, home of both the Super Bowl LX champions and the leading contenders for Super Bowl LXI.
NFC Championship and No. 1 Seed Favourites
The Rams may be Super Bowl favourites by a healthy margin, but things tighten up a bit for the NFC Championship odds:
– Los Angeles Rams +300
– Seattle Seahawks +550
– San Francisco 49ers +850
– Detroit Lions +900
– Philadelphia Eagles +1000
Playing in the same NFC West division as the defending champions from Seattle is tough; throwing San Francisco into the mix makes it even tougher for the Rams. As for the Lions, they’ve vaulted over Philadelphia here – the Eagles won the Super Bowl two years ago, while Detroit never has.
Next up, we have the NFC Number 1 seed odds at our Canadian Sportsbook:
– Los Angeles Rams +300
– Seattle Seahawks +600
– Detroit Lions +650
– San Francisco 49ers +850
– Philadelphia Eagles +1000
You can’t become the top seed in the NFC if you don’t win your own division, which is why Seattle dips slightly here, and San Francisco falls behind Detroit. Which teams could go from worst to first? The Lions have a much easier schedule ahead of them than their NFC North competition, let alone the four teams in the NFC West.
Division Odds: AFC North as a Case Study
NFL Division odds are the sharpest prediction tool in the drawer. Instead of comparing 32 teams, or even 16, you only have to judge the relative merits of four franchises. As promised, here are the AFC North odds:
– Baltimore Ravens –120
– Cincinnati Bengals +175
– Pittsburgh Steelers +650
– Cleveland Browns +2200
This is ultimately why the Ravens have such short odds to win the No. 1 seed and the entire AFC. That negative sign indicates they’re favoured over the field; in this case, –120 translates to an implied probability of 54.55% that Baltimore will take the AFC North. Cincinnati (36.36%) has a puncher’s chance if QB Joe Burrow can stay healthy, but Pittsburgh (13.33%) and especially Cleveland (4.35%) look more like tomato cans than heavyweight contenders. It’s little wonder their odds are so long – you’ll get paid $22 for every dollar you bet on the Browns if they can pull off the upset.
What Could Change These NFL Playoff Predictions?
Futures odds are inherently a snapshot, not a fixed forecast. Here are the chaos factors to watch out for when you’re making your NFL playoff predictions, 2026-27 being just around the corner.
– Injuries: This is the single biggest line mover, especially at quarterback. If Matthew Stafford gets hurt during training camp or the preseason, the Rams have rookie Ty Simpson next on the depth chart.
– Roster moves: Trades, free agency, training camp cuts and suspensions can shake up the NFL odds board before Week 1.
– Early-season results: Once the rubber hits the road – and the oddsmakers have actual performances to work with rather than projections – the first two regular-season games can see some wild swings as bettors (over)react to the final scores.
– Divisional rivalry games: Those swings get even more pronounced for intra-divisional matchups featuring the biggest NFL rivalries, like the Rams playing the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia for their season-opener. A lucky bounce or two on unfamiliar turf could instantly make San Francisco the new NFC West favourites.
NFL Playoff Predictions FAQ
Bold predictions and NFL futures are bets placed on season-long outcomes, like the Super Bowl winner or a division champion, rather than the result of a single game. See our NFL Futures guide for a full breakdown of how these markets work.
Futures odds shift continuously throughout the offseason and into the season itself. The biggest moves come after injuries to key players, major roster moves, and the start of regular-season games.
A negative number (like –120) can be read as how many dollars you need to bet to win $100, and usually indicates who the favourite is. A positive number (like +2200) tells you how many dollars a $100 bet would return, and usually indicates the underdog.
Yes – Canadian bettors can wager on Super Bowl, Conference Championship, No. 1 Seed and Division winner futures at Ozoon throughout the offseason, regular season and into the postseason.
