No NFL team has seen their Super Bowl chances jump more than the Saints through two weeks. 

New Orleans has more than halved their 2025 Lombardi Trophy odds, going from +8000 to +3000 at BetMGM Sportsbook after a surprising 2-0 start to the season. 

The Saints now have the 12th-best Super Bowl odds after being tied for the 22nd-best odds just over a week ago. 

In the NFC, they have the fifth-best odds (+1200) to win the conference. 

In Week 1, New Orleans dismantled the dysfunctional Panthers, 47-10, behind three touchdown passes from Derek Carr. 

They were perhaps even more impressive in Week 2 during their win over the Cowboys.

The Saints blew out the Cowboys in Dallas, 44-19, in the second straight high-powered showing from their offense.

Star running back Alvin Kamara led the charge in that game, running for 115 yards and reaching the end zone four times. 

Even if a Super Bowl win is still a long shot, the playoffs appear to be a real possibility for this Saints team, which many predicted would fall short of the postseason. 

The Saints are -200 to make the playoffs and their over/under win total has jumped to 10.5 at BetMGM.

They are also now tied with the Buccaneers, who are also 2-0, at +160 to win the NFC South.

New Orleans isn’t the only mover over the NFL’s first two weeks. 


Betting on the NFL?


The Bills jumped from +1600 to +1100 to win the Super Bowl after also getting out to a 2-0 start. 

The Vikings, who upset the 49ers to get to 2-0, went from +8000 to +5000. 

The Chiefs, who are looking for a three-peat, remain the favorites at +450.
