The Seattle Seahawks have emerged as the overwhelming favourites to win Super Bowl LX, according to ESPN's Football Power Index, in a turn that has stunned the NFL world. With a 14-3 record and the NFC's top seed, the Seahawks, led by quarterback Geno Smith, have a 20 per cent chance of lifting the trophy in February, ahead of the Denver Broncos at 14 per cent and the Los Angeles Rams at 13.8 per cent.

This forecast comes after a season where the team defied preseason odds of 60-1. As of 7 January 2026, the Seahawks are set to enter the playoffs with a bye, positioning them strongly for a deep run.
