These are my 2026 NFL Betting Futures. I’ve done well with futures over the past decade. My dollar count for win totals since 2014 is +$21,225. 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):

2026 NFL Betting Futures: Win Totals (+3.35 Units in 2025)

2026 NFL Betting Futures: Super Bowl LXI Odds (-10.45 Units in 2025)
Baltimore Ravens: +1200 FanDuel offered a pair of 50-percent deposit bonuses, up to $50. I used both to bet a Super Bowl winner.
Both northern divisions are set to battle the NFC South next year, which means they have an easy schedule. Both the Seahawks and Patriots went up against the NFC South in 2025 and went to the Super Bowl, so will history repeat itself? With a new coach and perhaps better injury luck, the Ravens could make a run.

Buffalo Bills: +1200 FanDuel offered another pair of 50-percent deposit bonuses, up to $50. I used both to bet a Super Bowl winner.
According to the betting markets, Tyreek Hill is considered the favorite to land Tyreek Hill. I don’t think the Hill signing will move the needle too much, but this line could drop to +1100 or so. Still, I wanted to get ahead of the line shift.

Detroit Lions: +1600 FanDuel offered a pair of 50-percent deposit bonuses, up to $50. I used both to bet a Super Bowl winner.
Both northern divisions are set to battle the NFC South next year, which means they have an easy schedule. Both the Seahawks and Patriots went up against the NFC South in 2025 and went to the Super Bowl, so will history repeat itself? The Lions will have a far easier schedule this year, and perhaps they’ll fix their offensive line issues that hurt them last season.

Minnesota Vikings: +5500 The Vikings are a real long shot, but as with the Bills bet, this is us trying to get ahead of the news. We know that Minnesota reached out to Cincinnati for Joe Burrow. The Bengals effectively told the Vikings to buzz off, but didn’t quite close the door on a potential trade. Still, it’s clear that the Vikings are being aggressive in trying to upgrade their quarterback situation. If they can manage to pull off a trade for a quality quarterback, they’ll suddenly become one of the Super Bowl favorites because of how great the rest of their roster is.

2026 NFL Betting Futures: Exactas & Finalists (+2.5 Units in 2025)
We’re going to be building out NFL exacta bets (Team X to beat Team Y in the Super Bowl) using no-sweat bets on various sportsbooks. We will then bet the rest prior to the season and then take some hedges prior to the playoffs.
Baltimore Ravens over Detroit Lions: 110/1 Our Wednesay video co-host Andy Iskoe shared a strategy where he takes his three favorite teams from each conference and bets them to beat each other in the Super Bowl. As a result, he sat on Chiefs over Eagles at 90/1 and Eagles over Chiefs at 100/1 ahead of Super Bowl LIX. We will utilize the same strategy.
We have $25 in no-sweat bets from live NBA bets, which were posted on DraftKings.
DraftKings has $250 in bonus bets to claim with a $1,000 deposit, so we’ll be betting more exactas with those.
