Supercomputer predicts who will win Super Bowl LXI as NFL Week 10 gets underway

Week 10 of the 2026/27 NFL season got underway on Thursday night, with the bulk of the games set to take place on Sunday. With around half the campaign now gone, we are starting to get a clear idea of which teams will be in contention to play at the Super Bowl in early 2027.

Supercomputer predicts who will win Super Bowl LXI as NFL Week 10 gets underway

Week 10 of the 2026/27 NFL season commenced on Thursday, with most matches scheduled for Sunday. As half the season has now passed, it becomes clear which teams have the best chance to compete for the Super Bowl in early 2027. The Seattle Seahawks, as the reigning champions, have had a tough campaign so far, sitting at 5-4. The Los Angeles Rams, who looked promising in preseason, have fallen behind.

However, teams like the San Francisco 49ers and Buffalo Bills have been performing well, with both sitting at 7-1 going into their Week 10 fixtures.

Despite sharing the same record, Opta's supercomputer predicts their chances of winning the upcoming Super Bowl quite differently. The San Francisco 49ers are currently the most likely team to emerge victorious, with a 12.28% probability. The Cincinnati Bengals, boasting a 6-2 record, have a slightly lower chance at 12.10%. The Detroit Lions, at 9.43%, and the Jacksonville Jaguars, at 7.73%, respectively, follow them. The Chicago Bears round out the top five with a 6.80% chance.

The Buffalo Bills, currently holding the sixth spot, have a 6.40% likelihood of securing the Super Bowl crown according to Opta's supercomputer.
