We’re still a month away from kickoff for the opening of the 2026 NFL season, but the drama has already begun as the Los Angeles Rams and Cleveland Browns have agreed to a blockbuster trade that is sending two-time Defensive Player of the Year, Myles Garrett to the Rams in exchange for linebacker Jared Verse and a haul of draft picks.
This move has made instant shockwaves across the NFL world, as it was truly unexpected, as the Browns front office remained adamant throughout the offseason that Garrett wasn’t going to be moved.
Now with one of the top talents in the NFL in a new landscape, let’s take a look at the latest 2026 Super Bowl odds after the Myles Garrett trade to the Rams.
Full Trade Details
As first reported by NFL Insider Adam Schefter on X, the Rams receive Myles Garrett in return for two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick, and a 2029 third-round pick.
Rams Strengthen Spot as Super Bowl Favourites
Coming into Monday morning, the LA Rams were already slotted as the favourites to win Super Bowl LXI. After the conclusion of Super Bowl LX, the reigning Champion Seattle Seahawks were slated as favourites to win it all again in the 2026 season, but the odds flipped shortly after with the Rams taking the top spot through the NFL Draft and Free Agency periods.
Prior to the trade with the Browns, the Rams were listed around +800 to win the Super Bowl, but after acquiring the All-Pro talent of Garrett, the Rams odds have shortened even more, currently sitting at about +650. These odds are a strong indicator that oddsmakers feel the Rams are without a doubt the team to beat heading into the 2026 season, as these odds are far shorter than average for a typical preseason favourite.
For the Browns, their odds to win the Super Bowl have unsurprisingly dropped after parting ways with Garrett. Opening with +15000 odds to capture the Lombardi Trophy, the Browns have gone from a long shot to no shot in the eyes of the oddsmakers, dropping to around +20000 on average across the best NFL betting sites.
With both teams heading in different directions, only time will tell how they will perform in the 2026 NFL season. With the NFL in disarray, be sure to get some skin in on the latest NFL odds and place your bets on a Super Bowl winner today.
