The Detroit Lions are among the top contenders for Super Bowl 60 in the 2025-26 NFL season. As the offseason begins for all 32 NFL teams, attention shifts toward next year’s championship, with hopes high for every franchise as they start fresh with a 0-0 record.
For the Lions, the 2024 season ended in disappointment, but their core team is still intact, and they have enough resources to make another run at the title. FanDuel Sportsbook has already posted odds for Super Bowl 60, and the Lions are ranked among the top teams. Here are the top 10 teams with the best odds for next season’s Super Bowl in San Francisco/Santa Clara:
- Eagles: +600
- Chiefs: +650
- Ravens: +650
- Bills: +750
- Lions: +1000
- 49ers: +1500
- Bengals: +1800
- Packers: +2000
- Commanders: +2400
- Rams: +2800
The Lions have the fifth-best odds overall, and are second in the NFC, ahead of teams like the Washington Commanders, who eliminated them from the postseason in the Divisional Round.
While being a favorite in Vegas doesn’t guarantee success, it reflects the continued positive perception of the Lions. This optimism is understandable, as Detroit still has all six of its All-Pro players returning for the upcoming season, and their defense should be healthier. Although there was a shake-up in their offensive coaching staff, the players will mostly remain the same, and the offense was ranked first in scoring in 2024.
There’s plenty of reason to believe that the 2025-26 season could finally be the year the Lions clinch a championship.

How many draft selections do the Detroit Lions hold in 2025?
The Detroit Lions now have seven picks in the 2025 NFL draft, thanks to a relatively new rule in the league.
On January 22, the Lions received a compensatory third-round pick after Aaron Glenn was hired as the New York Jets’ head coach.
Under the revised NFL Rooney Rule in 2020, teams that lose a minority assistant coach to a head coaching position with another franchise are awarded two compensatory draft picks at the end of the third round, following other compensatory selections, and in consecutive years.
For developing Glenn, who served as the defensive coordinator from 2021 to 2024, the Lions will receive additional third-round picks in the upcoming drafts, with the exact slot to be determined later this spring.
Here’s a breakdown of the Lions’ picks for the 2025 draft, which will take place in Green Bay, Wisconsin, from April 24-26.
Lions Draft Picks for 2025 The Lions are currently set to pick 28th in each round of the 2025 NFL draft. Below are the seven picks they own:
- First round: No. 28 overall
- Second round: No. 60 overall
- Third round: Projected No. 101 overall
- Fourth round: TBD
- Sixth round (from Buccaneers): TBD — acquired in the Carlton Davis III trade
- Seventh round (from Cowboys): TBD — received in the 2024 trade for Terrion Arnold

The Lions sent their fifth-round pick to the Browns in the Za’Darius Smith trade before the 2024 trade deadline.
The Lions also traded their sixth-round pick to the Browns as part of the Donovan Peoples-Jones trade before the 2023 deadline.
