The 2024 Super Bowl is less than two weeks away, but it isn't too early to look at early favorites for next year's Super Bowl champions.
Some sportsbooks have already released odds for Super Bowl 2025 favorites with this year's conference champions – the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs – leading the way. It's worth noting that the current season is not quite over, and the 2024 League Year is still one and a half months out. A lot can still change as rosters change with free agency and April's NFL draft.
Here are the full power rankings for the 2024 NFL season based on 2025 Super Bowl odds, courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.

In their offense, the 49ers have a first-team All-Pro wide receiver (Deebo Samuel) on one side, a second-team All-Pro wide receiver (Brandon Aiyuk) on the other. They have a two-time first-team All-Pro tight end (George Kittle), a three-time first-team All-Pro left tackle (Trent Williams) and a two-time first-team All-Pro running back (Christian McCaffrey). Their fullback (Kyle Juszczyk) just earned a first-team All-Pro nod for the first time this year.

On defense, they have the reigning Defensive Player of the Year and first-team All-Pro defensive end (Nick Bosa) rushing off the edge, a three-time first-team All-Pro linebacker (Fred Warner) behind him and a first-team All-Pro safety (Talanoa Hufanga) behind him.
None of them are set to be free agents this offseason. The 49ers aren't going anywhere.
The Chiefs have head coach Andy Reid, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. If this year has proved anything, it's that one can never count out Mahomes and the Chiefs, no matter how dire their situation might seem.
Baltimore just played in their first conference championship since 2012 after finishing the regular season with the best record (13-4) in the NFL. Quarterback Lamar Jackson will probably win the MVP, and the team has several talented, young players to build around. Even though they're losing defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald to a head coaching job in Seattle, if Jackson is healthy, the Ravens can be a contender.
The Bills have 22 players set to hit free agency this offseason and 22 more next year. They have quarterback Josh Allen, receiver Stefon Diggs and defensive pieces like Ed Oliver and second-team All-Pro cornerback Taron Johnson coming off of big years. Buffalo has the talent but has yet to put it together for a Super Bowl run.
Keeping offensive coordinator Ben Johnson was by no means a given for the Lions, who were among the NFL's most prolific offenses in 2023. This year, they were on the verge of their first Super Bowl appearance ever before a blown lead in the second half. With the talent they have on both sides of the ball, they'll have a shot to make another run next year.
Meanwhile, the Bengals have no reason to panic going into 2024. They missed the playoffs by the slimmest of margins and finished the regular season with a winning record despite losing quarterback Joe Burrow for the back half of the season. Cincinnati may need to do some retooling this offseason with receivers Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd hitting free agency, but Burrow's return should be a massive boost to help keep them in contention.
Detroit Lions:Dan Campbell is wrong. The NFC runners-up will rise again. If any questions, he can ask Andy Reid.
