What we know about Super Bowl LX
Super Bowl LX is scheduled for Sunday, February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The NFL approved Levi’s Stadium as the host site, and the venue confirms the February 8 date.
Snapshot of current futures odds (and what they imply)
Books update prices constantly, but as of mid–late August 2025, several reputable trackers list a tight favorite pack for Super Bowl LX:
• ESPN’s futures wrap has the Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Ravens as co-favorites, with the Chiefs and Bills close behind.
• VegasInsider’s consensus board shows opening prices such as Eagles +650, Ravens +700, Bills +750, Chiefs +750, Lions +850, 49ers +1300, and others.
• Legal Sports Report’s live feed similarly notes Eagles and Ravens at or near the top around +700.
How to read those numbers quickly: for a positive American price +A, the rough implied probability is 100/(A+100). That means +650 ≈ 13.3%, +700 ≈ 12.5%, +750 ≈ 11.8%, +850 ≈ 10.5%, +1300 ≈ 7.1%. Always line-shop and remember each book’s margin (vig) inflates totals above 100%.
Value angles to watch before kickoff
Schedule and injury drift
Through September–December, depth charts and rest patterns shift futures by multiple percentage points. If your projection moves faster than the market after injuries or bye-week travel swings, you can capture out-of-sync prices. Use a consensus view (ESPN, Legal Sports Report, and a sportsbook board) to avoid relying on a single line.
Conference path and seeding leverage
The No. 1 seed’s bye still matters for shortening a team’s path to the Super Bowl. When pricing contenders in the same tier, tilt toward the roster with a clearer home-field route and divisional strength edge.
Defensive sustainability vs. offensive stickiness
Offense tends to be more repeatable week to week than defense. If a team’s price is buoyed by turnover luck or defensive TDs, be cautious at short numbers; if the unit strength is efficient passing, a price premium is easier to justify.
Hedge timing around the conference championships
If you grab an early number on a live contender, liquidity is best the fortnight from Conference Championship Sunday to Super Bowl week. That’s often the cleanest window to free-roll or scale down risk.
Odds formats and settlement reminders for NFL
Most full-game NFL moneylines, spreads, and totals include overtime unless the market is explicitly labeled as regulation-only. Always read house rules; FanDuel’s rule page, for example, states that two-way moneylines settle after overtime. DraftKings’ rules pages and PDFs explain when extra time is or isn’t included, with sport-specific clarifications.
Bitcoin and Ethereum: fast, responsible funding for Super Bowl bets
Bitcoin on-chain
Bitcoin targets a ~10-minute average block; services generally credit after one or more confirmations, so deposits can lag during congestion.
Bitcoin Lightning
When both your wallet and the sportsbook support it, Lightning routes payments via channels anchored to Bitcoin, enabling near-instant, low-fee transfers—ideal for quick top-ups on game day.
Ethereum mainnet and fees
Post-EIP-1559, each block has a dynamically adjusted base fee (burned) plus an optional priority tip; timing and cost vary with demand. Proof-of-stake organizes time in 12-second “slots,” so simple transfers typically finalize within minutes. If your book supports L2s, fees can be even lower.
KYC is still required
Using crypto doesn’t bypass identity checks. In Great Britain, operators must verify name, address, and date of birth before allowing gambling; similar expectations apply in many regulated markets.
Simple workflow for finding an edge
- Build a consensus board of prices from at least two independent sources and one sportsbook page (for example, ESPN’s futures summary, Legal Sports Report’s feed, plus a live board). Convert to implied probabilities and note the book’s margin.
- Track team-level efficiency and injury reports; nudge probabilities as new info hits, not just after market moves.
- Add gradually. If you like a contender in August, consider a staged entry through midseason to average a better portfolio cost.
- Re-price after the first round of playoffs; if your number is now rich, hedge via the opposing conference winner or game-by-game spreads.
Practical crypto safety checklist
Use 2FA on sportsbooks and wallets, test with a small transfer, and match the exact network the cashier specifies (BTC on-chain vs Lightning; ETH mainnet vs a particular L2). Keep only an active float in hot wallets and return profits to self-custody.
