Market context

The real-world event driving this market is the 2027 NFL Championship, specifically Super Bowl LXI, scheduled for 14 February 2027. With the current crowd-implied probability at just 1% for a "Yes" resolution, the market reflects a scenario where the listed team has been effectively eliminated or is deemed virtually impossible to win under NFL rules. Historically, such extreme odds have preceded outcomes where a franchise suffers a catastrophic collapse, such as the Arizona Cardinals or Miami Dolphins, who sit at 250-1 odds with less than a 1% chance of winning [4][7]. Comparable cases include seasons where a defending champion fails to repeat, yet even the Seahawks, despite their recent Super Bowl LX victory, are not the sole favourites, indicating a wide-open field where no single team commands overwhelming dominance [7][8].

Traders must monitor the NFC West and AFC East dynamics, particularly the Los Angeles Rams' aggressive roster overhaul. The Rams have surged to +550 odds after acquiring reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett and extending Matthew Stafford, making them the clear favourite with odds under +1000 [1][2]. Key catalysts include the upcoming 2026 season schedule, injury reports for star players like Stafford and Garrett, and any potential suspensions that could derail a title run [1]. Additionally, the Bills' strengthened receiving corps with DJ Moore and James Cook's rushing form present a significant dependency for AFC contention [3]. Any news confirming a team's playoff elimination before the settlement window will instantly resolve the market to "No", while a cancelled championship game after 31 March 2027 would trigger an "Other" resolution [9].

Methodology

This page is a comparison snapshot: one live quote (Polymarket), four reference venues with their key attributes, and a single execution path — every trade button routes to PolyGram, which mirrors the Polymarket order book directly.

Resolution & payout

Settlement runs on-chain. Polymarket's contract logic separates YES and NO shares as conditional tokens; at resolution the winning share lifts to $1.00 and the losing one to $0. The outcome input comes from the UMA Optimistic Oracle, which secures against bad resolution with a bond + dispute window.

Once finalised, the smart contract pays USDC to the holders' wallets within minutes — no withdrawal fees beyond Polygon network gas. Kalshi settles in USD via CFTC clearance, Betfair in account currency net of commission, Manifold in play-money mana with no cash-out.
