2026 NFL Best Bets - Super Bowl LXI Lines
As is usually the case, the new Super Bowl champion opened as the favorite to repeat in the following season. After a dominant 29-13 win over the New England Patriots, the Seattle Seahawks opened as the Super Bowl LXI favorite for next season. In an interesting side note, the New England Patriots totally turned off gamblers with their performance and are not in the top tier of chalk.
Following the Seahawks in gamblers' esteem are their hated NFC West rivals, the Los Angeles Rams. Next on the board are the Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Chargers, and Philadelphia Eagles.
Of course, with the long regular season ahead, the rosters will change, dramatically in some cases, so gamblers could find more or less value now on the teams that they prefer. Odds will fluctuate with each trade, free agent signing, and after the 2026 NFL Draft.

Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks secured their second franchise title behind a dominant defensive performance nicknamed the "Dark Side," which sacked Patriots quarterback Drake Maye six times and forced three turnovers.
Running back Kenneth Walker III was named Super Bowl MVP after recording 135 rushing yards and over 150 yards from scrimmage.
Seahawks kicker Jason Myers set a Super Bowl record by making five field goals.
Quarterback Sam Darnold led the Seattle offense with a turnover-free performance.
As the 2026 offseason begins, the Seahawks face significant roster and organizational changes following their title win.
Offensive Coordinator Klint Kubiak confirmed on February 9 that he is leaving to become the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders.
Stars Devon Witherspoon and Jaxon Smith-Njigba are both eligible for major extensions that could exceed $30 million per year.
Key contributors scheduled to become free agents include Rashid Shaheed, Kenneth Walker III, and Coby Bryant.
Finally, owner Jody Allen is expected to put the franchise up for sale in 2026, with a projected valuation between $7 billion and $8 billion.
The Seahawks will host the 2026 NFL Kickoff Game on September 10, 2026, as the defending champions. Potential opponents for the season opener include the New England Patriots (a Super Bowl rematch), the Kansas City Chiefs, or NFC West rivals like the Rams or the 49ers.
New England Patriots
The New England Patriots enter the 2026 offseason with a promising but challenging outlook following their loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX. Despite the defeat, the team finished the 2025 season with a dominant 14–3 record and the AFC East title in their first year under head coach Mike Vrabel.
Second-year QB Drake Maye finished as an All-Pro and the league's MVP runner-up, throwing for over 4,000 yards and 25 touchdowns. He is viewed as the franchise cornerstone heading into 2026.
The Patriots boasted the NFL's #4 scoring defense (18.8 PPG) and #8 total defense in 2025. Retaining defensive coordinator Terrell Williams is a priority, though his future is uncertain due to health concerns.
The biggest weakness exposed in the Super Bowl was the offensive line, which allowed the most sacks in a single playoff run in NFL history. Rebuilding the left side of the line is a top priority for 2026.
The Patriots face a significantly tougher schedule in 2026 after having the league's easiest slate in 2025.
There will be home games against the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, Denver Broncos, Las Vegas Raiders, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Road Matchups will be with the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Seattle Seahawks.
The core staff under Mike Vrabel remains largely intact for 2026. The Offensive Coordinator is Josh McDaniels, the Defensive Coordinator is Terrell Williams, and the Special Teams Coordinator is Jeremy Springer.

If following an initial review of the case there remains any doubt regarding the wager type, line, market, amount, or any other detail, the claim will be escalated to the BookMaker management team. All decisions made by them are final.
Wager Cash Out - How it works
With the Cash Out feature you can choose to eliminate a wager that's already been placed, and receive back either a portion, or your full stake amount.
Cash Out is selectively available on certain events, fixtures, and markets.
In order to see if a wager is eligible to be cashed out, simply navigate to your Bet Slip and check the 'My Open Bets' tab. If eligible, the Cash Out button will be displayed.
It’s also important to note that Cash Out is not contributing to any bonus or promotion including Bet Point accumulation and Rollover for releasing bonus cash.
