We are still two weeks away from Super Bowl LX kicking off, but thanks to DraftKings, fans already have an early look at the betting odds for Super Bowl LXI in 2027, and the Detroit Lions are right in the mix.
Super Bowl LXI will be played on February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, marking the ninth Super Bowl in the Los Angeles area and the second at SoFi Stadium (following Super Bowl LVI in 2022). The game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN and ABC.
According to the opening futures board, the Lions are viewed as legitimate contenders.

| New York Jets | +15000 |

| Arizona Cardinals | +20000 |
The Lions opening at +1300 puts them firmly in the top tier of Super Bowl contenders, alongside the Eagles, Ravens, and just behind favorites like the Seahawks and Bills.
In betting terms, +1300 means a $100 wager on Detroit to win Super Bowl LXI would return $1,300 in profit (plus the original stake) if the Lions hoist the Lombardi Trophy in Los Angeles.
For a franchise that spent decades as an afterthought in Super Bowl futures, being listed among the true contenders two years out is a clear sign of how far Detroit has come, and how seriously the rest of the league now views the Lions as a long-term championship threat.
