As we approach Week 4 of the 2021 NFL regular season, we already have a wealth of actionable information on each team’s Super Bowl odds. Without a doubt, this is a challenging betting market to gain an edge in. For one, the big game is more than four months away and each team still has 14 regular season games to play. Placing wagers on who will hoist the Lombardi trophy can certainly be a leap of faith, but it’s important to consider that these odds may never be this steep for some of the league’s elite contenders. Thus, there’s no better time to lock in your Super Bowl pick than right now.
Fortunately, we have you covered here at NBC Sports EDGE with premier betting tools that can help you corner the futures market and lock in your Super Bowl pick(s) with confidence. Filled with cutting-edge analytics to help you sharpen your betting skills — from the massive historical database that is our Edge Finder to top trends, player projections, game predictions and more — our exclusive football betting features will undoubtedly elevate your strategy and knowledge to a whole new level.
Today, we’re spotlighting our improved futures betting tool for three NFC teams who, as of right now, could realistically win Super Bowl LVI. As previously mentioned, it can be difficult to corner the futures market for this type of wager, but our analytics have the ability to synthesize value for teams who have seen their odds increase, decrease or remain the same through the three weeks of the season. Super Bowl futures are just one kind of many long-term bets you can track odds movement for. With the futures tool, you can also gauge market shifts for conference champions, division winners, win totals and even player awards and stat leaders.

SUPER BOWL LVI WINNER FUTURES
As you can see, Tampa Bay, Los Angeles and Green Bay currently possess the NFC’s shortest odds to win the Super Bowl. Betting markets are not making the same mistake as last year when it comes to underestimating the Buccaneers, as their odds have fluctuated little since they came away champions last February. Meanwhile, the undefeated Rams have so far looked like the best team in the NFL through three weeks. Their odds have nearly halved from +1500 early in training camp to +800 now, third behind only the Chiefs and Buccaneers. Matthew Stafford, complemented by an elite defense and HC Sean McVay, seems rejuvenated in Los Angeles. As a result, you might not see LA’s odds this short for the rest of the season. Bettors should also consider the value on the well-rounded Packers at +1200, as Aaron Rodgers looks to lead Green Bay to a championship after an uncertain offseason.
