With The NFL Season About To Start, Who Should I Back For 2025 Superbowl Glory?

The new NFL Season starts in the early hours of Friday morning in the UK with the Baltimore Ravens facing off against the Kansas City Chiefs in what should be a blistering start to the new campaign.

Games will also be played in the early hours of Saturday, Monday and Tuesday, as well as the usual selection of games taking place on Sunday!

Now is the time of the season that many punters start to think ahead, past the 17-game regular season, into post-season and to the Holy Grail of the Super Bowl.

In February 2024, it will be Super Bowl LIX that takes centre stage, and there are already odds available at bet365 Sport on each of the 32 teams!

Remember, you can enjoy a bet on who you think will win the Superbowl now with a number of betting sites including bet365 Sport. The site has a number of markets on American Football throughout the season, as well as currently offering betting on which team will be the next Superbowl Champions.

Super Bowl LVIII – Chiefs Snatch Dramatic Win Over 49ers

In a game that swung to-and-fro between the teams throughout, it was the Kansas City Chiefs that landed a third Super-Bowl victory, from four appearances in the game, in the space of five years.

They defeated the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 with a fourth-quarter comeback victory.

New NFL Season – The 2024 NFL Draft

While it is too early to say how the Draft picks made in 2024 will fare, we've already seen some promising and not-so promising signs from rookies in the pre-season.

USC Quarterback Caleb Williams was the expected first pick for the Chicago Bears and so it proved with the quarterback stepping in at Chicago, who then let former first-round pick Justin Fields leave to join the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Williams was one of three QBs taken with the first three picks, the others being Jayden Daniels who went to the Washington Commanders and Drake Maye, who signed with the New England Patriots.

In terms of other first round quarterbacks, Atlanta took Michael Penix Jr. at number 8, with the Vikings taking J.J. McCarthy at number 10. Bo Nix was the last QB taken in the first round, going to the Denver Broncos at number 12.

Coveted Wide Receiver, Marvin Harrison Jr. joined the Arizona Cardinals when he was picked at fourth, while offensive tackle Joe Alt was snapped up the Chargers with the fifth pick.

New NFL Season – How did Free Agency go in the NFL?

There have already been a number of major moves in the NFL ahead of the new season. With many players becoming free agents, and others traded, it means a number of famous stars will be playing in new colours this season.

Some of the top trades and free agency moves this year include:

  • Justin Fields (QB) – Chicago Bears to Pittsburgh Steelers
  • Kirk Cousins (QB) – Minnesota Vikings to Atlanta Falcons
  • Bryce Huff (DE) – New York Jets to Philadelphia Eagles
  • Derrick Henry (RB) – Tennessee Titans to Baltimore Ravens
  • L'Jarius Snead (CB) – Kansas City Chiefs to Tennessee Titans
  • Keenan Allen (WR) – Los Angeles Chargers to Chicago Bears
  • Arik Armstead (DT) – San Francisco 49ers to Jacksonville Jaguars
  • Joe Mixon (RB) – Cincinnati Bengals to Houston Texans
  • Calvin Ridley (WR) – Jacksonville Jaguars to Tennessee Titans

Who to Back this Season in the NFL?

NFL Season Superbowl

It can be tricky to predict which teams will be the ones that shine in the NFL each season. Every year sees one or more teams perform much better than expected, while others struggle.

However, we think the four teams outlined below are great options to consider in the Outright Winner market for the Super Bowl in 2025!

Kansas City Chiefs (6.50)

You don't reach four Super Bowls in five years, winning three of them, if you are not a dynasty. The Chiefs had barely rubber-stamped their second successive Super Bowl win last February before talk switch to the ‘three-peat'. With Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce still in tandem, Chris Jones resigned and some intriguing signings in the NFL Draft and during free agency, the Chiefs look set to be the team to beat once again.

San Francisco 49ers (6.50)

For the second time in five years, the San Francisco 49ers reached the Super Bowl, only to lose to a late fourth-quarter comeback by the Chiefs. Kyle Shanahan's team are arguably the very best in the league on paper. They proved they were comfortably the best in the NFC last season and will be there or thereabouts again. They also received a boost ahead of the season start by re-signing talented WR Brandon Aiyuk to a new contract, keeping him at the franchise for the foreseeable future.

Baltimore Ravens (10.00)

The Ravens achieved a lot last season, but didn't manage to lift the stranglehold that the Chiefs have on the AFC. Lamar Jackson was the NFL MVP and he has now got the fearsome running back Derrick Henry to support him in what was an already stellar running game for the Ravens. If Baltimore can step back up to the plate on defense and their offense fires, then the Week 1 opening game with the Chiefs may well be a prelude to the AFC Championship game later this season.

Detroit Lions (13.00)

Dan Campbell has turned a losing, struggling and frankly laughable franchise around. His worth ethic and leadership has been instilled throughout this exciting Detroit Lions team. They pushed the 49ers hard in the post-season last year and perhaps should have won that game. They have made some good signings in the draft and free agency while keeping their key players. If the Lions are going to reach a Super Bowl, then this year may be their best chance of doing so since the time of Barry Sanders.

You can place your bet on who you think will be the winner of next seasonโ€™s Superbowl title with bet365 Sport right now. Who will be your pick?

*All odds shown were correct with bet365 Sport as of 11am on Monday 2nd September 2024
