Cincinnati Bengals (+1700) (7th shortest odds)

Philly opens the offseason with the shortest odds (+650) to win Super 60 in San Francisco next February, and deservingly so after dismantling every team they faced in the playoffs this year. However, history tells us there will likely be a new champion at this time next year since only nine times has a team repeated with back-to-back Super Bowl wins. The only team to also finish on a five game winning streak was the Bengals, even though they did miss the playoffs. Joe Burrow regained his MVP level play and it seems like Jamar Chase and Tee Higgins will be back in 2025. Of course some crucial roster moves will be needed on the defensive side of the ball, but the Bengals will return their main pieces to an offense that was sixth in total scoring last year. As the Chiefs seem to be getting older and losing steam, watch for Cincinnati to regain their spot atop the AFC ranks that they had back in 2022. 

Washington Commanders (+2300) (9th shortest odds)

Jayden Daniels is fresh off a NFC championship game appearance, cementing his historic rookie season, yet Washington is regarded by oddsmakers well below the other three teams to play in the semi finals. Mastermind OC Kliff Kingsbury will be staying with the team a second year as they build pieces for another playoff run. The Commanders had the 13th ranked defense and the 5th best scoring offense. All signs point to Washington as a sure fire playoff team, missing only a few pieces to improve on their already great finish in 2024. Having an elite, young QB is a vital piece to any Super Bowl team, and a big reason all three teams on this list have value. 

Denver Broncos (+5500) (21st shortest odds)

Another surprising playoff team from 2024 has great odds as they look to build on their success. Bo Nix quietly had a fantastic rookie campaign throwing for 3775 yards, 29 TDs, and 12 Ints. Finally Sean Peyton looked like he had his ideal players to run the scheme he wanted. They ranked 3rd in scoring defense and 10th in scoring offense, showing they are one of the most balanced teams in the league. Nix, on a rookie deal, gives Denver lots of freedom to make moves with the expanding salary cap. The addition of a few difference makers, whether in free agency, or the draft, may be all that the Broncos need. Momentum is a huge factor, and these teams feel like they are moving in the right direction with key pieces in place.
