Super Bowl LX is set for Sunday, February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California (home of the San Francisco 49ers), with kickoff at 6:30 PM ET on NBC (streaming on Peacock). After a thrilling Wild Card Weekend that featured historic comebacks (Chicago Bears 31-27 over Green Bay Packers), major upsets (San Francisco 49ers 23-19 over Philadelphia Eagles), and dominant performances (Houston Texans 30-6 over Pittsburgh Steelers), the field is down to eight elite teams. The Divisional Round (Jan. 17-18) will decide the Conference Championship participants, with the road to the big game narrowing fast.
2026 Super Bowl LX Preview
The Seattle Seahawks remain the consensus favorites to hoist the Lombardi Trophy, thanks to their No. 1 NFC seed, bye-week rest, elite defense (No. 2 in defensive EPA per play), and home-field advantage through the NFC playoffs. Current odds (as of January 13, 2026, via DraftKings/FanDuel consensus) have them at +270 to +300, slightly tightened from pre-Wild Card levels. The Los Angeles Rams sit close behind at +320, buoyed by Matthew Stafford’s MVP-caliber play and a gritty 34-31 Wild Card win. In the AFC, the Buffalo Bills (+650) and New England Patriots (+600) have surged after strong road victories, while the Denver Broncos (+700) hold strong as the No. 1 seed despite a slight dip.

Key Contenders & Paths to Victory
- Seattle Seahawks (NFC #1): Bye advantage and a rubber-match vs. the 49ers in Divisional give them the clearest path. A rested defense could dominate NFC West rivals, setting up a potential home NFC Championship. If they advance, home-field through the conference title game makes them tough to beat.
- Los Angeles Rams: Stafford’s arm and a balanced attack make them co-favorites in the NFC. A win over the Bears (hosting first home Divisional in 15 years) could lead to a road or neutral NFC title shot—high upside if they stay hot.
- Buffalo Bills: Josh Allen’s clutch gene shone in their Wild Card rally—now they face altitude at Denver. A road win would vault them into AFC favorites; their offense vs. Broncos’ defense is must-watch.
- New England Patriots: Drake Maye’s emergence and defensive shutdown (16-3 over Chargers) have them rising fast. Hosting the Texans in Divisional offers a winnable path to the AFC title.
- Dark Horses: Houston Texans (elite defense, first road playoff win ever) and Chicago Bears (momentum + home crowd) could surprise if they upset higher seeds.
The Divisional Round kicks off Saturday: Bills at Broncos (4:30 PM ET, CBS/Paramount+), 49ers at Seahawks (8:00 PM ET, FOX/FOX Sports app); Sunday: Texans at Patriots (3:00 PM ET, ESPN/ABC/ESPN app), Rams at Bears (6:30 PM ET, NBC/Peacock).
