Rams open as Super Bowl LXI favourites ahead of NFL Week 1
DraftKings lists Los Angeles at +500, with Buffalo and Baltimore next at +1000 in odds published by Fox Sports on 8 September.
The Los Angeles Rams are the early favourites for Super Bowl LXI, according to DraftKings odds published by Fox Sports on 8 September ahead of Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season.
The Rams are priced at +500, making them the shortest-priced team in a market covering all 32 clubs. The Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens follow at +1000, while Seattle is listed at +1200.
Fox Sports attributes Los Angeles’ position to an off-season that included Matthew Stafford’s contract extension and the acquisitions of Myles Garrett and Trent McDuffie. Its analysis also points to the reported return of Aaron Donald after two seasons away.
The Kansas City Chiefs are at +1600, with the Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles both at +1700. Cincinnati, Houston and New England are each listed at +1800.
New England and Denver, identified by Fox Sports as last season’s AFC Championship Game participants, are priced at +1800 and +2000 respectively. The source links their lower positions to the difficulty of their respective schedules.
The figures are betting-market prices rather than guarantees of the eventual champion. Fox Sports also discloses that it may receive compensation from affiliated legal sports-betting partners.
