Super Bowl 2026 Updated Odds and Predictions for NFL Championship Bracket

The NFC is viewed by the oddsmakers as the conference with the better chance of producing the Super Bowl champion.

The Seattle Seahawks enter the postseason as the Super Bowl favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook. The Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles have the second-and-fourth-lowest odds to take home the Lombardi Trophy.

A handful of AFC teams are lumped close together behind the Eagles, and one team in particular, looks like it has good value.

The Buffalo Bills have the most experienced playoff quarterback in the AFC bracket. This isn't the best team Josh Allen has been around, but the experience might matter more this year with so few playoff appearances among the top three seeds in the AFC.

Seattle is a worthy Super Bowl favorite because of its incredible defense.

The Seahawks are on a seven-game winning streak in which they've conceded 16 points or fewer in five games, including a three-point concession to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 18.

Any of the NFC playoff teams, including the NFC West teams that saw Seattle twice, will have trouble picking apart the Seattle defense.

Philadelphia could be dangerous in the NFC because it won the Super Bowl last year, but it hasn't put everything together for complete performances.

The Eagles defense is comparable to Seattle's unit, so if they make a deep run it will be because of that unit and not an offense that has looked stagnant at times.

The AFC playoff field is headlined by a fresh crop of quarterbacks. Bo Nix, Drake Maye and Trevor Lawrence all have to prove they can now win in the postseason.

Josh Allen is the most battle-tested quarterback in the AFC field. He'll likely have to win every postseason game on the road, but he knows what it takes to win in the playoffs.

Buffalo has the league's top rusher in James Cook, and if the passing game comes together around Allen, the Bills will be a tough out, That's what makes them an intriguing bet at +1000.

Houston looks like a Super Bowl winner because of its outstanding defense and the way its offense has come together around C.J. Stroud.

The Texans have an easy draw in the wild-card round against the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are more than capable of competing with anyone.

Seattle and Houston's defenses might make some postseason games less flashy than in years past, but if you love the old cliche that defenses win championships, both teams could ride their respective units to Super Bowl 60.
