Saints Super Bowl chances skyrocket after surprising 2-0 start

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.

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