ASK THE TRADER ๐Ÿค”

February 12, 2024

Kansas City will look to make history next season by becoming the first NFL team ever to win three consecutive Super Bowls. Yet, Patrick Mahomes and Co. are actually not the favorites to win it all in 2025 in New Orleans.

If you head on over to the Fanatics Sportsbook app, youโ€™ll see that the Niners actually lead the way at +550 ๐Ÿคจ. KC is in the second spot at +750, followed by Baltimore and Buffalo at +1000 apiece.

We brought in Fanatics trader Paul Lowery to explain why San Francisco is atop the odds board.

ASK THE TRADER: We think there are fewer questions with SF’s overall roster heading into next season. Nick Bosa, Deebo Samuel, Trent Williams and Christian McCaffrey are all under contract, while Brock Purdy and Brandon Aiyuk are still on cap friendly rookie deals. This team was rated No. 1 in betting markets for most of the season, and we think that will continue as SF keeps its crop of stars โญ together.

Kansas City will always be a top contender with Mahomes, but uncertainty swirls around whether head coach Andy Reid will be back as well as stars Travis Kelce and Chris Jones. It also definitely helps that the Niners will be strong division favorites and have fewer elite teams in the NFC to battle with for the top seed and the bye compared to KC in the AFC.
