Betting the Best Value in NFL Super Bowl LV Futures

 With three weeks left in the NFL regular season, the playoff picture in both the AFC and NFC is starting to become a bit clearer. The 12-1 Kansas City Chiefs and the 11-2 Pittsburgh Steelers have clinched a playoff berth in the AFC while the Green Bay Packers and the New Orleans Saints are headed to the postseason from the NFC at 10-3.

Nothing against the rest of the NFL, the odds remain high that one of those four teams will go on to win Super Bowl LV scheduled for Feb. 7 in Tampa Bay. The NFL futures odds at BetOnline.ag paint the same exact picture.

The Chiefs are +185 favorites to repeat as Super Bowl Champions. Green Bay is next on that list at +650 odds followed by New Orleans as a +750 third-favorite.

The Steelers have lost their last two games following an 11-0 run. They have also lost some ground on the betting board at +1200 odds along with the Buffalo Bills. The 9-4 Los Angeles Rams have caught bettor's attention as +1000 fourth favorites. Tampa Bay (+1200), Seattle (+1400) and Baltimore (+1600) round out the nine-team list of top contenders.

The Tennessee Titans are battling the Indianapolis Colts for the AFC South Division title. Each of those teams is 9-4 heading into Week 15. The Titans are set as -175 favorites over the Colts at +145 odds to end the season as division champs.

As far as Tennessee's odds to win the Super Bowl, it follows Baltimore on the futures list at much longer +2800 betting odds.

As far as the best value in BetOnline.ag's Super Bowl futures, betting Kansas City at plus money (+185) makes the most sense. 

If you are looking to stretch the value in the odds, New Orleans would be my top play. The Saints get Drew Brees back at quarterback for this Sunday's big showdown against Kansas City. If they should win that game as three-point home underdogs, those +750 odds will most likely come down quite a bit.
