Summary

The Chicago Bears are far from favorites to reach the Super Bowl in 2025, but they have a formula that can work and if they get the top seed in the NFC, they can play their style all the way to February. The Kansas City Chiefs are also not favorites, but it is fair to say they still have what it takes to make a deep run if things break right. Teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are even longer shots to make the big game, but as they get healthy, both teams have a real shot to take a ride all the way to the final game. Finally, the Dallas Cowboys and Carolina Panthers are even further down the list of potential Super Bowl odds, but one of them is a real contender and one is just a fun story.
