Football fans love to look ahead and try to predict what will happen next. That can mean betting on the outcome of a single game or looking at what the full season might hold. If you’re already wondering who might win the next Super Bowl, what are some of the main points to bear in mind?
Details of Super Bowl LIX
So, first of all, where and when is this massive football game going to take place? Super Bowl LIX is scheduled for February 9, 2025 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. This makes it the eighth time the Super Bowl has been played in this stadium, with there being three other occasions when it was played there in the past.
2013’s Super Bowl XLVII was the last time it was held here, with the stadium known as the Mercedes-Benz Superdome at that time. That time, the Baltimore Ravens beat the San Francisco 49ers by a score of 34–31 in a thrilling game.
While the city’s famous Mardi Gras celebrations have clashed with the Super Bowl date in the past, this isn’t going to be a problem in 2025. The iconic festival won’t be held until March 4 next year. As always, the Super Bowl is going to be one of the biggest sporting events of the year, with both Fox and the NFL app offering live streaming for viewers everywhere.
What Happened in the Last Super Bowl?
One of the best ways of making solid guesses about what might happen is by taking a look back at the last game. Super Bowl LVIII was held at the Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada on February 11, 2024. The Kansas City Chiefs were looking for their second consecutive Super Bowl win and came up against the San Francisco 49ers.
Led by MVP Patrick Mahomes at QB, the Chiefs cruised to a 25-22 win in overtime. This was the franchise from Chicago’s third Super Bowl win in five years and they also lost another in that time. That could be important when we try to predict the next championship game since some analysts suggest that this Chiefs team, with the outstanding Mahomes leading the way, has now become firmly established as a dynasty.
The Current Odds
Thinking of taking a bet when the time comes? You don’t have to wait! You might not be aware that you can already bet on the outcome of this game to be held next year. Having skimmed through the basic details, it’s no surprise that the latest odds for Super Bowl 2025 have the Kansas City Chiefs at the top of the list. They’re followed by teams like the Ravens, the Buffalo Bills, the Houston Texans, and the Philadelphia Eagles. You’ve got a great selection to pick from, and lots of fans are already reaching for their wallets.
The Chiefs already have Super Bowls in their collection, with Super Bowl IV in 1970 their first win. Interestingly, this victory came in New Orleans, with the Minnesota Vikings their rival on that occasion. As well as Mahomes, tight end Travis Kelce has appeared in the franchise’s four Super Bowl appearances since 2019 and they will be looking to extend their dominance in the power rankings.
And the Ravens? They’ve won two Super Bowls, with these victories coming 12 years apart and Super Bowl LIX coming 12 years after the last one. Their excellent roster includes NFL MVP Lamar Jackson, and they’ve made the playoffs on five of the last six opportunities.
The Houston Texans are the NFL’s youngest franchise and they’ve yet to win a Super Bowl. QB C.J. Stroud has an incredible rookie season and they’ve made some smart moves in picking up free agents. Therefore, they’re set to go into the new season with higher hopes than ever before.
The Upcoming NFL Draft and Other Unknowns
The interesting thing about betting on the Super Bowl so far in advance is that there are many unknown factors to think about. Injuries, loss of form, and off-field controversies can all have a huge effect on a team’s chances. We also need to consider that the NFL Draft is due to happen in Detroit on April 25–27 this year.
First pick goes to the Chicago Bears after they made a trade with the Carolina Panthers. We can see mock NFL drafts online, with this example suggesting that the Bears will pick Caleb Williams before Drake Maye goes to the Washington Commanders. The Bears are also tipped to choose Joe Alt later in the first round. How these rookies fit into their new teams will be crucial to the outcome of the new season.
Summary
Betting on the next Super Bowl so far in advance isn’t easy; there are some huge challenges, but it can also be a lot of fun. If you think you know what’s going to happen, there’s nothing to stop you from placing your wager early and taking advantage of the current odds before the new season begins.
