These are my 2025 NFL Betting Futures. I’ve done well with futures over the past decade. My dollar count for win totals since 2014 is +$17,725 (2024 not included yet). Here’s what I’m planning on betting this year (results will be added to the regular-season winnings/losses on the NFL Picks page after the Super Bowl is over):

2025 NFL Betting Futures: Super Bowl LX Odds
Kansas City Chiefs: +700 I want to get ahead of a Chiefs hedge to avoid bad vig bets in the SUper Bowl again. I was able to boost this with some bonus bets up to +900, but I’m cool with wagering the Chiefs at +650. A better number may appear if the team loses some games in the 2025 regular season, but that didn’t happen last year. I may add more to this later if I like what the Chiefs do in the offseason.
Betting 1 Unit to win 7 at DraftKings (locked in as of 2/10/25) Get $250 in bonus bets from DraftKings
Minnesota Vikings: 41/1 I think these odds are insane. The Vikings were one of the best teams in the NFL last year prior to Christian Darrisaw’s injury. Darrisaw will be back to protect J.J. McCarthy, who was Kevin O’Connell’s hand-picked quarterback. I guess the Vikings are 40/1 because people are down on McCarthy, but everyone was just as pessimistic about Sam Darnold, and we saw the Vikings win 14 games last year – many of which occurred without Darrisaw. The Vikings have one of the best cap situations in the NFL, so they could be even better in 2025.
Update: I’ve added another unit on the Vikings. I love their roster. If McCarthy can be slightly above average, then Minnesota will go deep into the playoffs.

San Francisco 49ers: 17/1 This is a nice buy-low opportunity on the 49ers. They had the season from hell last year when everyone got injured, beginning with Christian McCaffrey in training camp. We’ll see if McCaffrey can bounce back, but if he can, the 49ers will have a great chance to reclaim their status as the top team in the NFC West. I think they’re worth a small shot at 17/1.
Betting 0.5 Units to win 8.5 at BetRivers (locked in as of 2/10/25) Get $500 in Second-Chance Bets from BetRivers
Washington Redskins: 20/1 I love this price on the Redskins. We just saw Jayden Daniels lead his team to the NFC Championship. Washington was blown out by Philadelphia, but there’s plenty of optimism regarding its 2025 season. First of all, Daniels, who could already be a top-five NFL quarterback, will have experience and won’t begin slowly next year. Second, and more importantly, the Redskins have the third-most cap space in the NFL. They have $79 million to spend with their quarterback under a rookie contract. They’ll be able to whatever they want this offseason. They’ll be able to trade for Myles Garrett. They’ll be able to sign Tee Higgins, Ronnie Stanley, and all of the other top free agents. And we know that Washington is going to be a hot destination for free agents because they’ll want to play with Daniels.

2025 NBA Betting Futures
Denver Nuggets to Win the NBA Finals 15/1 The Nuggets are the best value play to win the NBA Finals. They have the best player in the world and a solid supporting cast. They’ve also done it before, unlike Oklahoma City. I like the number of 15/1, which is available at Caesars.

Golden State Warriors to Make the Playoffs -129 FanDuel currently has a 30-percent profit boost on bets on teams to make the playoffs. My favorite bet is the Warriors. We’ve been on them recently on our NBA Picks page. They’re much better now in the wake of the Jimmy Butler trade. The standard odds are -168, but the profit boost moves it to -129.
