Super Bowl odds are on the board with the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks booking their trips to San Francisco on February 8.

Here’s a look at the opening NFL odds to win Super Bowl LX.

2026 Super Bowl Odds

Matchup Spread Moneyline Total
Seahawks Seahawks vs Patriots Patriots Patriots +4.5 Seahawks -225
Patriots +185
46.5

Super Bowl odds as of 1-25-2026.

Seattle Seahawks -225

It was no surprise to see the Seattle Seahawks open as favorites to win Super Bowl LX. DraftKings initially opened with Seattle as short as -198 on the moneyline, which took instant action, and ran the outright price as high as -225 on Sunday night.

The Seahawks bring the best defense in the NFL to the Bay Area, and the offense isn't too shabby, either. Seattle has amassed 72 total points in its two postseason victories. 

New England Patriots +185

The New England Patriots escaped a snowy scene in Denver with a ticket to the Big Game. The Patriots opened at +166 at DraftKings, and money on Seattle pumped the return on the underdog Pats to +185.

New England also has a top-tier defense, allowing only 26 total points through three playoff games. The offense, however, is the soft spot heading into Super Bowl - especially facing a stop unit as good as Seattle. The Patriots have struggled to move the chains, going 13-for-43 on third downs in the tournament.

An unlikely combo

It's safe to say that no one expected either team to make it to the Super Bowl before the season began.
