Welcome to our guide to NFL Futures betting for 2024! A look ahead to the forthcoming NFL season and the futures bets you can make on it!
After an exciting 2023 season, it was the Kansas City Chiefs who landed a second successive Super Bowl victory. It was the Chiefs fourth Super Bowl appearance in five years, where they have won three.
That is all forgotten as we head towards the new season. We’ve had the usual number of coaches being hired and fired and many players released as they come to the end of their contract.
We’ve also seen some significant trades between teams for either players or draft picks or a combination of both. Speaking of which, we have also had the 2024 NFL Draft, which saw the Chicago Bears draft USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the first pick.
We have also seen plenty of NFL Superstars switch teams through Free Agency, with several top names on the move.
The 32 NFL teams are approaching their training camps and voluntary and mandatory pre-season workouts at present. So now seems an opportune time to look at the season ahead. Chiefly, by looking at some of the popular NFL Futures betting markets you can bet on at bet365.
All the odds you can see in this article can be found at bet365 Sport in their American Football – Futures section of the site.

What is NFL Futures Betting?
Before we get into the detail of the best NFL Futures betting options this year, let’s first explain what futures betting is.
Futures betting is simply a bet made on an event that will not be decided immediately, but at some point in the future. In the case of NFL Futures betting, it is usually from around the end of the Regular Season through to the Super Bowl when these markets are finally decided.
For example, a bet on the outcome of an NFL game is decided once the game is completed. An NFL Futures bet may not be decided until the very last second of the regular season or after the Super Bowl.
Hence the term, NFL futures betting.
