The Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 on Sunday in what was one of the more underwhelming Super Bowls in recent memory.
With the 2025 NFL season now officially in the books, it’s time to look ahead to the 2026 campaign and Super Bowl 61, which will take place at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Feb. 14, 2027.
Let’s look at the opening Super Bowl 61 odds and make some way-too-early picks to win the Lombardi Trophy.

Who Will Win Super Bowl 61?
Baltimore Ravens (+1300)
The Ravens have been perennial Super Bowl contenders with Lamar Jackson at quarterback, but they have won just two playoff games over the past five seasons.
Perhaps a coaching change can be the inspiration to get Baltimore over the hump, as former Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter will replace long-time head coach John Harbaugh.
Minter is an elite defensive mind who has worked with both Harbaughs and Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald in recent years, so there’s plenty of reason to believe his hiring will prove astute.
The first-time head coach has assembled an intriguing staff that includes former Bears OC Declan Doyle, a Ben Johnson disciple who could bring some new ideas to this offense.
The Ravens always seem to find a way to improve their roster through the NFL Draft, and I expect this group to take a significant step forward in 2026 after missing the playoffs. With that in mind, I’m backing Baltimore to win Super Bowl 61 as my NFL pick of the day.
Sportsbook Play of the Day
Super Bowl 61 Contenders
Seattle Seahawks (+950)
After beating the Patriots in Super Bowl 60 on the back of a dominant defensive display, it’d be silly to overlook the Seahawks heading into next season, especially since the last Seattle team to win it all nearly defended its title.
Mike Macdonald has proven to be one of the top young coaches in the NFL, especially when it comes to scheming up defenses. His unit led the league in points per game allowed (17.2) and forced Drake Maye into three turnovers in the title decider.

On the other side of the ball, the addition of Sam Darnold has breathed new life into this offense, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba has blossomed into one of the league’s best wide receivers.
Seattle could have some holes to fill in free agency, as Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III and corners Riq Woolen and Coby Bryant are unrestricted free agents. However, GM John Schneider’s job should get easier with a Lombardi Trophy in tow.
Los Angeles Rams (+950)
The Rams are co-favorites in the Super Bowl odds after falling just short against Seattle in the NFC Championship Game.
This placement at the top of the odds board makes a lot of sense, especially after 38-year-old quarterback Matthew Stafford announced that he would be returning for the 2026 campaign after being named NFL MVP on Thursday.
That move alone makes Los Angeles a legitimate contender, as Stafford led the league in passing yards (4,707) and passing touchdowns (46) and engineered the league’s highest-scoring offense (30.2 points per game).
If Stafford can continue playing at this high level, the Rams have every chance of winning a second Super Bowl title on their home turf at SoFi Stadium.
Super Bowl 61 Sleeper Pick
New York Giants (+7000)
I know it’s a longshot, but the New York Giants could follow the New England Patriots’ path to an unlikely Super Bowl appearance.
New York’s decision to bring in John Harbaugh restores credibility to this franchise, much like Mike Vrabel’s return to New England last offseason did.
And like Vrabel, Harbaugh will get to work with a second-year quarterback who flashed plenty of potential in his rookie campaign.
If New York can fortify the offensive line and protect Jaxson Dart, the Giants could make a significant leap next season.
