The Favorites: Los Angeles Rams (+750)
Back in February, the Rams were tied atop this odds board with the recently-crowned Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. But over the last few months, the Rams odds shortened by a touch from +850 to +750, while Seattle’s jumped from +850 to +1,000. Obviously, the champion-colored glasses people were wearing back in February have worn off when it comes to Seattle.
Seattle didn’t really add anyone major through free agency or the draft, but apart from Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker, they didn’t really lose anyone else either.
Apart from drafting Ty Simpson in the first round of the draft, which is a move that won’t even affect their 2026 campaign, the Rams haven’t done much themselves. This could simply be a case of oddsmakers and bettors favouring the more exciting and offensively dynamic Rams going into 2026. While we like the Rams to be in the mix in the NFC come January, +750 odds in May don’t offer enough value.
Biggest Movers
The single biggest mover on this board in terms of a change in their odds is the Jacksonville Jaguars. They were at +2,000 odds in February, but they’ve sky-rocketed to +2,800 here in May. Oddsmakers clearly didn’t like QB Trevor Lawrence’s new haircut.
But the Jags were never a serious option anyway. Both the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens saw their odds shorten to +1,000, and these are probably two of the best bets on the board. Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson always give you a chance, even if they’ve disappointed in the postseason in the past.
Baltimore got good injury news on defense and had a pretty solid draft highlighted by the best guard in the class in Olaivavega Ioane. Buffalo, meanwhile, solved their wideout issue by trading for D.J. Moore. And while they definitely overpaid, Moore’s impact should make up for it.
The Eagles, Packers, and Lions all saw their odds jump up noticeably, while the 49ers and Patriots saw theirs shorten a touch. Of this group, the ones piquing our interest are the Eagles (bounce back season), 49ers (that injury curse must end, surely), and the Lions (too much talent to ignore).
Dark Horse Candidate:
However, if you’re not going to go with one of the top dogs in the Rams, Bills, or Ravens, we’d recommend trying to get some more value. And we find it at +2,000 with the Denver Broncos, who previously had +1,800 odds in February.
They probably should have made it to the Super Bowl. But they slew Josh Allen’s mighty Bills only for Bo Nix to break his ankle and Jarrett Stidham to fall short in a blizzard loss in the AFC Championship Game. They were right there, and they bring back a lot of the same talent, with Nix expected to be at full strength long before the season kicks off.
Their trade for wideout Jaylen Waddle was also likely an overpay, but boy, does he fit perfectly into that offense. For some reason, that major move led to oddsmakers lengthening Denver’s odds rather than shortening them. But it’s not matter to us, because considering this is our dark horse long shot, the longer the odds, the better.
