Top NFL Season-Long Best Bets for 2025: Early Picks to Win
As the NFL offseason heats up, savvy bettors are already eyeing season-long futures to lock in value before free agency (starting March 10) and the 2025 NFL Draft (April 24–26) shake up the odds. Today, we’ll be breaking down the top NFL season-long best bets to target for 2025. Get in on these early picks to take advantage of the odds and win big.
Best NFL Season-Long Bets for 2025
With Super Bowl LIX in the books and the 2025 season on the horizon, now is a great time to dive into the best bets for Super Bowl LX, win totals, and player awards. Specifically for the early odds that you can take advantage of.
Whether you’re targeting favorites like the Eagles or hunting longshots like the Minnesota Vikings, these early picks leverage current team trajectories, cap space, and sportsbook trends to maximize your payout potential. Read on for our top 2025 NFL season-long best bets and why they’re worth your wager.
Super Bowl LX Winner
Philadelphia Eagles (+650 at BetMGM)
The Eagles are fresh off a Super Bowl LIX victory over the Chiefs and open as early favorites to repeat in 2025. Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and a stingy defense (No. 1 in points allowed at 17.9 per game in 2024) form a championship core. With $36.5 million in cap space, GM Howie Roseman can reload, even after losing OC Kellen Moore to Cleveland. At +650 (13.3% implied probability), Philly’s talent and a third-place schedule make them a smart bet to hoist the Lombardi again.
Buffalo Bills (+750 at BetMGM)
Josh Allen’s Bills remain AFC elite despite a 2024 postseason exit. Allen, the 2024 NFL MVP, powers a roster with staying power, and $11.9 million in cap space offers flexibility. At +750 (11.8% implied probability), Buffalo feels undervalued for a team that’s consistently knocking on the Super Bowl door. This could be their year to finally break through.
Minnesota Vikings (+4000 at DraftKings)
A sleeper with massive upside, the Vikings went 14-3 in 2024 before injuries struck. With J.J. McCarthy taking over at quarterback under Kevin O’Connell, plus $67.1 million in cap space (top 10 in the NFL), they’re a dark horse worth a flyer. Overall, at 40/1, the value is tantalizing for a team that could dominate a winnable NFC North.
Season Win Totals
Green Bay Packers – Over 9.5 Wins (Odds TBD)
Win totals are still trickling out, so take these with a grain of salt. However, 9.5 feels like a fair early line after Green Bay’s 10-7 finish in 2024. Jordan Love’s ascent, a youthful roster, and $37.2 million in cap space point to growth. A third-place schedule softens their NFC North gauntlet, making 10+ wins a strong bet once the lines drop.
Kansas City Chiefs – Under 11.5 Wins (Odds TBD)
The Chiefs’ +750 Super Bowl odds suggest a win total around 11.5 or 12. After three straight Super Bowl appearances (two wins), fatigue could hit. Patrick Mahomes is unstoppable, but a first-place schedule and an aging supporting cast (e.g., Travis Kelce) might cap them at 10 or 11 wins. Take the under if it’s 11.5 or higher.
Washington Commanders – Over 8.5 Wins (Odds TBD)
Jayden Daniels took Washington to the NFC Championship in 2024, and with $79.5 million in cap space (third-most in the NFL), they’re primed to build on that success. An 8.5-win projection feels low at this point. 10 victories are achievable with smart offseason moves. Ultimately, this is a breakout team in the making.
NFL Best Season-Long Bets – Player Awards
Lamar Jackson – MVP (+600, Inferred)
Impressively, Jackson finished second in MVP voting in 2024 and remains a dual-threat dynamo. Baltimore’s +700 Super Bowl odds signal another strong season, and a potential WR addition (think Tee Higgins) could push him over the top. Finally, at +600 (14.3% implied probability), he’s a regular-season juggernaut worth backing.
Saquon Barkley – Offensive Player of the Year (+700, Inferred)
The 2024 OPOY and Super Bowl standout, Barkley, is still peaking at 28. If he stays healthy in Philly’s explosive offense, another 1,800+ total-yard campaign is likely. At +700 (12.5% implied probability), you’re getting a proven star at a fair price.
Aidan Hutchinson – Defensive Player of the Year (+800, Inferred)
Hutchinson’s 11.5 sacks in 2024 were a teaser of his potential. With Detroit’s defense staying intact under Aaron Glenn, a 15-sack season isn’t far-fetched. At +800 (11.1% implied probability), he’s a rising star with a clear shot at the award.
Why Bet Now?
Betting in early March 2025 offers a strategic edge. Now, lines are soft before free agency and the draft reshape rosters, letting you snag value—like the Vikings at +4000 or the Chiefs’ under—before the market adjusts. These picks blend data (cap space, 2024 stats) with narrative (Buffalo’s redemption, Washington’s rise) for a balanced approach.
Finally, be sure to check DraftKings, BetMGM, or FanDuel for real-time odds. Especially as win totals solidify post-schedule release in May. Futures tie up your bankroll, so bet wisely. However, these selections offer a mix of safety and high reward based on early odds with high potential for the 2025 NFL season.
