NFL, Super Bowl 60 betting: Detroit Lions have their best preseason Super Bowl odds in nearly 50 years

Details
27 August 2025

By most measures, the Detroit Lions have been an incredibly successful team over the past two seasons. Detroit has posted a 27-7 record (including 15-2 in 2024-25), won the NFC North division crown twice and been the NFL's best team to bet on over that time span, going a ridiculous 24-10 (70.6%) against the spread.

Despite heartbreaking losses in the last two postseasons, expectations are even higher in the betting market for Detroit this season — in fact, they are historic.

The Lions are currently 10-to-1 to win Super Bowl 60 at BetMGM, the fifth-best odds behind the Baltimore Ravens (+700), Buffalo Bills (+700), Philadelphia Eagles (+700) and Kansas City Chiefs (+800).

What's significant about those odds are that they are the franchise's best preseason odds to win the Super Bowl since at least 1977, according to Sports Odds History. And that's as far back as the website's database goes.

Despite losing both coordinators this offseason — defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn is now the head coach of the New York Jets and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is now the Chicago Bears' head coach — the public is lining up to bet Detroit again, as the Lions have the most wagers (10.7%) and third-most total dollars wagered (12.2%) at BetMGM of any team to win the Super Bowl, including a $54,500 wager at 10-1 that would win $545,000.

“Bettors are supporting the favorites to win the Super Bowl,” Christian Cipollini, senior trading manager at BetMGM said in a statement. "Nearly 50% of all handle is on the Lions, Bills, Eagles and Ravens to lift the Lombardi Trophy.”

The Lions are once again favored to win the NFC North (+145) and have a win total of 10.5, which is tied with their 2024 win total of 10.5 as the team's highest over/under since 1989 — again, as far back as the Sports Odds History database goes for that market.

Will this be the season that Detroit finally breaks through?

Eagles claim OL Willie Lampkin, re-sign LS Charley Hughlett

Details
27 August 2025

The Eagles made some roster tweaks on Wednesday.

They have claimed offensive lineman Willie Lampkin and signed long snapper Charley Hughlett. Hughlett was released on Tuesday as part of the team's final cuts.

Lampkin signed with the Rams after going undrafted out of North Carolina. He gives the Eagles another option in the interior of their offensive line.

Hughlett joined the Eagles this offseason and has appeared in 152 games over the course of his career. Most of those games came with the Browns.

The Eagles made room for the new arrivals by waiving offensive lineman Trevor Keegan and safety Tristan McCollum.
