After an exciting wild-card weekend, just eight teams still have a chance to win Super Bowl 60.
The landscape across the NFL shifted considerably during the wild-card round. Notably, the Philadelphia Eagles – the reigning Super Bowl champions who entered the playoffs with the fourth-shortest Super Bowl odds – were upset by the San Francisco 49ers, slightly shifting the power structure atop the NFC.
Elsewhere, the Buffalo Bills’ advancement to the divisional round after a 27-24 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars has them climbing the AFC pecking order.
Here’s a look at how the teams remaining in the 2025 NFL playoff race stack up based on their odds to win Super Bowl 60.

1. Seattle Seahawks (+300)
The Seahawks remain the betting favorite to win Super Bowl 60. Seattle got a week off during the wild-card round after earning the NFC’s No. 1 seed behind a defense that ranked No. 2 overall in defensive EPA per play, per the NFL’s Next Gen Stats. They now draw a divisional-round matchup against a 49ers team they beat 17-3 in Week 18 to officially win the NFC West and the conference’s No. 1 seed.
2. Los Angeles Rams (+320)
The Rams got a scare from the 8-9 Carolina Panthers in the wild-card round, but bettors aren’t shying away from backing Sean McVay’s squad. Matthew Stafford is playing at an MVP level as part of a balanced offense that has gotten plenty of production out of Puka Nacua, Davante Adams and Kyren Williams this season. Their defense has allowed 30 points per game over its last five outings, but Sean McVay’s offense – which leads the NFL in scoring at 30.7 points per game – is plenty good enough to carry the team to victory.
3. Buffalo Bills (+550)
The Bills edged the Jaguars in the divisional round and are now favored to win the AFC. Josh Allen has the best combination of talent and experience among the quarterbacks remaining on the AFC side of the bracket, so it’s easy to see why the sportsbooks like Buffalo. Still, the Bills have some defensive issues – particularly on the ground, where they allow 137.2 yards per game, fifth-most in the NFL – that could trip them up.
4. New England Patriots (+600)
New England’s defense dominated in a 16-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in the wild-card round. Will they be able to continue doing so if Christian Gonzalez has to miss time because of a concussion? That remains to be seen. The Patriots will also need Drake Maye to perform better – a fact the 23-year-old quarterback acknowledged – after he committed two turnovers and was sacked five times against the Chargers.
5. Denver Broncos (+750)
The Broncos have dropped to No. 3 in the AFC pecking order after drawing the Bills in the divisional round. Denver is well-rested after a bye and should be able to bother Allen with a pass rush that generated a league-high 68 sacks in 2025. Any hope of the Broncos making a Super Bowl run will rest on their defense playing well and getting a home-field edge from playing at Empower Field at Mile High Stadium.
6. Houston Texans (+850)
The Texans have the NFL’s No. 1-ranked defense in terms of EPA per play, according to the NFL’s Next Gen Stats. So long as C.J. Stroud and Houston’s offense can be efficient, the Texans will have a chance to prove true the old ‘defense wins championships’ mantra.
7. Chicago Bears (+1400)
Caleb Williams just led the Bears to an 18-point, come-from-behind win against the Green Bay Packers in the divisional round. It marked the team’s seventh fourth-quarter comeback win of the season. Can Chicago continue to deliver in those spots? It won’t be easy as the team’s bottom-six pressure defense prepares to face Stafford, a quarterback who is elite when kept clean, and the Rams.
8. San Francisco 49ers (+2000)
The 49ers upset the Eagles despite pressuring Jalen Hurts just six times. San Francisco has the third-lowest pressure rate in the NFL, so the team’s struggles in the area were hardly a surprise. Unless Robert Saleh can scheme up a way to generate more heat on opposing quarterbacks, it will be hard for the 49ers to contain top offenses. Add in the absence of George Kittle (torn Achilles) on the other side of the ball and it’s easy to see why oddsmakers aren’t bullish on the 49ers.
