Books backing Bills, Eagles, Ravens as Super Bowl favorites


The Philadelphia Eagles begin the 2025 season as heavy favorites to win their season opener Thursday night, but oddsmakers see significant threats in their pursuit of back-to-back Super Bowl titles.

The Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens are the co-Super Bowl favorites at +600 at DraftKings, slightly ahead of the Eagles at +700. The Kansas City Chiefs are next at +850, with no other team having shorter odds than the Green Bay Packers at +1200.

Meanwhile, BetRivers is offering the Ravens and Eagles as +650 co-favorites, followed by the Bills (+700), Chiefs (+800) and the Packers (+1300) along with the Detroit Lions.

The New Orleans Saints are the biggest longshot at both books — +30000 at BetRivers and +5000 at DraftKings.

Philadelphia is considered to have a smoother path to the Super Bowl than its AFC counterparts. The Eagles are +350 to win the NFC title at DraftKings, ahead of the Packers (+600) and Lions (+650).

The Bills and Ravens are the co-+330 favorites in the AFC, followed by the Chiefs at +400. That trio is well ahead of the pack, with the Denver Broncos owning the fourth shortest AFC title odds at +1100.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson opens the season as the +550 favorite to win Most Valuable Player honors, ahead of Bills reigning league MVP Josh Allen and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow at +600. The shortest non-quarterback odds belong to Eagles running back Saquon Barkley at +6000.

Las Vegas running back Ashton Jeanty begins the season as the +275 offensive rookie of the year favorite ahead of No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward. The Tennessee Titans quarterback is being offered at +350, followed by Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton at +850 and Jacksonville Jaguars dual threat Travis Hunter at +1000.

The shortest defensive rookie of the year odds belong to New York Giants pass rusher Abdul Carter at +225. He’s well ahead of a trio at +1200 that includes San Francisco pass rusher Mykel Williams, Ravens linebacker Mike Green and Atlanta Falcons pass rusher Jalon Walker.
