Super Bowl LX Early Picks: Expert Predictions and Betting Insights for 2026

As the dust settles on Super Bowl LIX, experts dive into early predictions and betting values for Super Bowl LX in 2026. Discover the teams to watch and the odds worth considering.

The Philadelphia Eagles' dominant victory in Super Bowl LIX halted the Kansas City Chiefs' historic run, leaving fans and analysts eagerly anticipating the next big game. Here's an in-depth look at the early odds and predictions for Super Bowl LX in 2026, with expert insights on potential contenders and betting opportunities.

San Francisco 49ers (14-1)

Joe Fortenbaugh highlights the 49ers as a team poised for a strong comeback. Despite last season's injuries and poor turnover differential, the Niners are primed for positive regression. With ample salary cap space ($50.3 million), the 11th overall draft pick, and a favorable schedule, San Francisco's odds have already improved from 16-1 to 14-1.

Dallas Cowboys (50-1)

Dallas may not be the top pick for a Super Bowl win, but Seth Walder sees value in their 50-1 odds. With Dak Prescott, Micah Parsons, and CeeDee Lamb leading the charge, the Cowboys have a solid foundation. While roster transitions and a new coaching staff pose challenges, the potential for a deep playoff run remains.

Seattle Seahawks (50-1)

Ben Solak is bullish on the Seahawks, especially with new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak bringing a dynamic offense to Seattle. Paired with head coach Mike Macdonald's consistent defensive strategies, the Seahawks are a dark horse for 2026. If their offensive line improves, they could be genuine contenders.

Cincinnati Bengals (16-1)

Pamela Maldonado points to the Bengals' significant cap space and a favorable 2025 schedule as key advantages. Led by Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase, Cincinnati's offense remains elite. With matchups against weaker teams, the Bengals are well-positioned for a championship run.
