Current Super Bowl LXI Odds Overview
As of early February 2026, odds from major sportsbooks like FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, and others show slight variations due to immediate post-Super Bowl adjustments, but the consensus places the Eagles in the +1300 to +1500 range (implying roughly a 6-7% implied probability of winning the title).
- FanDuel: Eagles at +1500, tied for sixth-best overall, behind Seahawks (+750), Rams (+800), Ravens (+1200), Bills (+1200), and Packers (+1300). Tied with Chargers at +1500, ahead of Chiefs and Lions at +1600.
- DraftKings: Eagles at +1300, tied with Patriots and Ravens, behind Seahawks/Rams co-favorites at +950, Bills at +1100.
- Other sources (e.g., BetMGM, ESPN aggregates): Eagles frequently listed at +1300 to +1400, ranking them fourth or tied for fourth in some boards, and among the top 4-5 in the NFC.
In the NFC-specific futures, the Eagles trail only the Seahawks (+400 to win NFC) and Rams (+450), often listed around +800 alongside Packers and Lions. This marks them as legitimate NFC favorites, especially given the conference’s competitiveness.
The Seahawks, coming off their dominant Super Bowl LX win (29-13 over the Patriots), lead the board as repeat favorites. Their defense under Mike Macdonald and offensive improvements made them the class of the league in 2025-26. The Rams, with Matthew Stafford returning and a strong power rating, sit right behind as co-favorites in many spots. AFC powerhouses like the Bills and Ravens round out the top tier, while the Chiefs (+1500 to +1600) have slipped due to recent postseason exits.
Why the Eagles Are Viewed as NFC Favorites
Philadelphia’s +1300 to +1500 odds reflect respect for their core strengths despite a disappointing 2025-26 campaign. The Eagles, who won Super Bowl LIX in 2025 (per some references to prior success), entered last season with high expectations but faltered, exiting in the wild-card round (a home upset loss to the San Francisco 49ers in some reports). Offense struggled with inconsistencies, including drama around A.J. Brown and schematic issues under former coordinator Kevin Patullo.
However, the defense remains elite under Vic Fangio (returning for 2026), providing a championship-caliber foundation. Key pieces like edge rushers, linebackers, and a stout secondary give Philly a top-tier unit that can win games in low-scoring affairs.
The biggest variable is the offense. Jalen Hurts, still in his prime, offers dual-threat dynamism. The line, despite potential changes (e.g., longtime OL coach Jeff Stoutland stepping away), has talent. The hiring of Sean Mannion as offensive coordinator—a young, detail-oriented coach with ties to Shanahan/McVay/LaFleur trees via Green Bay—aims to install a precise, timing-based scheme emphasizing play-action and versatile weapons.
Mannion’s task: Fix the sputtering attack. Reports suggest potential roster moves, including targets like Romeo Doubs (from Mannion’s Packers days) to replace or complement departing stars. If free agency brings familiar playmakers and addresses WR/OL holes, the ceiling rises dramatically.
Key Factors for Eagles’ 2027 Success
- Offensive Overhaul: Mannion’s scheme could unlock Hurts and weapons like DeVonta Smith. Playmakers with prior connections reduce growing pains.
- Defensive Continuity: Fangio’s return ensures a disruptive front. Health and depth will be crucial.
- NFC Landscape: Seahawks and Rams dominate the West, but the Eagles’ NFC East path (Cowboys +3500, Commanders +6000, Giants +7000) offers a favorable division. Packers (+1300 overall, +700 NFC) and Lions (+1400-1600) pose threats in the North, while 49ers (+1800) recover.
- Salary Cap and Moves: Philly has flexibility for extensions (e.g., Jalen Carter) and free-agent additions. Retaining Goedert or adding TEs/WRs fits Mannion’s preferences.
- Injury Luck and Health: Past seasons showed vulnerability; staying healthy elevates them.
Comparison to Top Contenders
- Seahawks (+750 to +950): Defending champs with elite defense and balanced attack. Highest floor in NFC.
- Rams (+800 to +950): Stafford’s return and home Super Bowl advantage (SoFi Stadium) boost them.
- Packers (+1300 to +1400): Young core, strong NFC odds (+700).
- Eagles sit just behind but with higher upside if offense clicks.
Value bettors see +1300/+1500 as attractive for a talented roster with proven upside. Avoid if major losses occur in free agency.
Broader NFL Context
The 2027 odds highlight parity: No dominant dynasty post-KC’s run. AFC features Bills/Ravens/Chargers/Chiefs jostling; NFC pits West powers against East/North challengers. Eagles’ odds could shorten with strong offseason moves or lengthen if key pieces depart.
As free agency (March 2026) and draft unfold, these will shift. For now, the Eagles rank among NFC favorites with legitimate paths to Super Bowl LXI.
