The Super Bowl is over for this year, and that means it’s officially time to start thinking about the Big Game for next season. Detroit Lions fans have been thinking about it for more than two weeks, actually. It still hurts so much that the Lions fell to the San Francisco 49ers in what seemed like the weirdest, flukiest game ever in the NFC Championship. So, the Lions did not get to the Super Bowl this season. But what about next season? Here are the Detroit Lions’ odds to win the Super Bowl next year.

ESPN has put out their list of all the teams ranked in terms of their odds to win Super Bowl LIX at the Caesars Superdome on Feb. 9, 2025. Before we get to the Lions, let’s look at the top two teams. No, the Lions are not one of them. No. 1 on their list is a name that Lions fans don’t want to see: the 49ers. According to ESPN’s betting odds, the 49ers have the best chance of making it to and winning Super Bowl LIX. No. 2 on the list is the Kansas City Chiefs. I really don’t think I can take another Chiefs vs. 49ers Super Bowl, so please, let’s not see that happen.

No. 3 on the tally is the Baltimore Ravens. I totally agree with that pick. I think most people were surprised when the Ravens fell to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship. Also, I think the Ravens will be at the Big Game next year. No. 4 is a surprise, to me, at least: the Buffalo Bills. I know the Bills are good, but are they better than the Detroit Lions? I think not.

So, here we are, and the Detroit Lions are No. 5 on ESPN’s list of the teams most likely to win the Super Bowl next year. I’ll take it. I totally think next year is out year, even though this year really did seem like our year, too. Check out all of the odds by ESPN here. Let me know your thoughts here.

7 Super Early Super Bowl Contenders for Next Season

  • 7. Seattle Seahawks

    One thing I like about this list is that I’m not necessarily even picking teams that made it to the playoffs this year. I’m picking teams that I think could be strong enough next season. The Seattle Seahawks are one of those teams. Their new coach, Mike Macdonald, is the former defensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens. Enough said. This guy is golden. Seattle’s defense is going to improve drastically with him at the helm, and they could go all the way very soon.

  • 6. Buffalo Bills

    The Buffalo Bills missed the playoffs by a hair. They played so well against the Kansas City Chiefs, but it just wasn’t enough. Josh Allen is a Super Bowl-caliber quarterback, but he hasn’t taken them there. Will next year be the year? Maybe.

  • 5. Houston Texans

    The Houston Texans will be the team to beat very soon. They pulled off an incredible season with a rookie coach and quarterback. They’re just getting started. The team got first place in AFC South this season but lost in the divisional round to the Baltimore Ravens.

  • 4. Baltimore Ravens

    Speaking of the Baltimore Ravens, I’m still shocked that they fell to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game. I think pretty much everyone was surprised. But, Lamar Jackson is back next year, and he’s not going to let it slip away again. Next year could be their year.

  • 3. Philadelphia Eagles

    It was a massive decline for the Philadelphia Eagles towards the end of last season. Everything fell apart at the seems. But, the Eagles have legacy, and they have Jalen Hurts. As long as he’s healthy, the Eagles will be back next year ready to fight.

  • 2. Green Bay Packers

    Yikes. Can the Green Bay Packers really be this good already? They almost upset the San Francisco 49ers in the playoffs this year. Jordan Love is the real deal. Watch out for this young team next year.

  • 1. Detroit Lions

    Okay, yes, I’m a Detroit Lions fan, born and raised. But, I think there’s reason to believe that the Detroit Lions can and will be back next year. They’ve had a taste of victory, and they liked it. Plus, golden guy Ben Johnson is coming back to Detroit, and he wants to take the Lions all the way. Jared Goff is playing fantastic football, too. The Lions could really make it to their first Super Bowl next season. What do you think? Let me know here.
