We’ve got some exotic NFL betsplayoff futures, featuring a Super Bowl exact matchup wager and an up and comer to break through and make the playoffs.

NFL Futures Bet: Eagles to Beat the Chiefs in the Super Bowl

For Simon Says, let’s take a look at the Eagles to beat the Chiefs in the Super Bowl at 100-to-1 through Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook. If you’re new here and need help understanding odds, that means if you bet $1,000, you can win $100,000 on that bet. And I know what people are thinking: That will never happen.

Two years ago, I put around $10,000 to $15,000 across a bunch of different Super Bowl matchup bets, and the biggest one I leaned into was Eagles vs. Chiefs. I basically bet around $5,000 to win $300,000.

So yes, it sounds crazy. But now the odds are even better. Instead of needing to bet $5,000 to win $300,000, you only need to bet $3,000 to win $300,000.

That shows where things are compared to two or three years ago, when the Eagles and Chiefs were so much more hyped. Now, you’re getting even better odds.

Why the Eagles and Chiefs Can Make the Super Bowl

These teams are not any different from where they were two or three years ago. They are still just as good. It’s all about health. That’s football.

That’s why we want to bet these crazy odds. We obviously need a lot of luck to get there, and we need both teams to stay healthy. But if they do, I think both teams are top-two or top-three teams in their respective conferences.

That number jumped out right away. And if you want the flip side, Chiefs to beat the Eagles is also 100-to-1 at Hard Rock Bet.

I like betting repeat Super Bowls. It sounds crazy, but it happens. The NFL is cyclical. It’s repeatable.

Best To Make the Playoffs Bet: Saints to Make the Playoffs

I owe a Chad’s Choice, and originally, I was going to take the Bears to miss the playoffs. But at the end of the day, I couldn’t do that.

I couldn’t have one of my season-long bets be against the team I’m going to be living and dying with all year. I can’t emotionally hedge a full season.

Instead, Simon really got me on the Saints. So my Chad’s Choice is: New Orleans Saints to make the playoffs at +200 through Hard Rock Bet.

I like the situation in the NFC South. I like the possibility of a little regression from the Panthers and their schedule. I also like what I saw from Kellen Moore and Tyler Shough last year.

So I’m going with the Saints as my Chad’s Choice at +200 to make the playoffs.
