Market context

The underlying real-world event is the 2027 NFL league championship, specifically Super Bowl LXI, which will be played on 14 February 2027. A market offering a 1% chance for a generic “Yes” resolution implies that the specific team you are backing is currently viewed as an extreme long shot, despite the field being widely open. This mirrors how Eurovision allocates 50% of its score to a professional jury and 50% to public televoting, where a single nation’s low public score can be offset by jury support, or how the Oscars use a preferential ballot for Best Picture to narrow a crowded field. In both cases, initial low probabilities often shift dramatically once the voting mechanics or ballot preferences are fully understood, suggesting that the current 1% figure may not reflect the final outcome if the team gains cultural narrative momentum or if the “jury” of NFL analysts re-evaluates their standing.

Traders should watch the release of the 2026 NFL regular-season schedule, which will determine early divisional matchups and potential playoff paths, as well as any major roster moves during the upcoming free-agency period. Recent DraftKings odds released in June 2026 show the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams as favourites at +950, followed by the Buffalo Bills at +1100, while the Arizona Cardinals and Miami Dolphins sit at the bottom with 250-1 odds [2]. The catalyst for a shift in probability will likely be the Seahawks’ performance in their first few games of the 2026 season, given their recent Super Bowl 60 victory and current favouritism at BetMGM [3]. Additionally, any injury to a key player on a long-shot team or a sudden surge in a team’s win probability on prediction markets like Kalshi—where the Rams recently jumped to 11%—could signal a rapid re-rating of the market [6].

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

At resolution the UMA oracle takes over: a proposer posts the outcome with a bond, any token holder can dispute within two hours. Without dispute the result is accepted and the smart contract distributes USDC instantly.

On Kalshi (CFTC-regulated) resolution runs through their in-house clearing engine in USD. Betfair Exchange settles after match end in the account's local currency. Manifold pays no cash — only its in-platform "mana" currency.
