NEW YORK — The qivsy Research Center NFL Championship Prediction Model has an 8-for-10 record on Super Bowl winners since 2016 — a track record that has made it one of the most-cited sports forecasting tools in America. With the 2026 NFL season approaching, we are releasing our pre-season Super Bowl LX forecast.
TRC Super Bowl LX Probability Rankings
- Kansas City Chiefs — 28% probability
Patrick Mahomes remains the defining quarterback of his generation. TRC model: his QBR in elimination games since 2019 is the highest of any QB in playoff history. The dynasty machine. The concern: three consecutive Super Bowls creates defensive preparation time and roster fatigue that our model flags as a 15% drag on probability. - San Francisco 49ers — 21%
The most complete roster in the NFC. Brock Purdy’s efficiency metrics have normalized into elite range. Their offensive line is the #1-rated in our model. The 49ers are perennially “most likely to win the NFC” — their Super Bowl conversion rate from NFC Championship appearances is the variable TRC flags as concerning. - Baltimore Ravens — 17%
Lamar Jackson is the most dangerous dual-threat weapon in football. In a league where speed is being weaponized like never before, Baltimore’s offensive system is designed for the 2026 NFL, not 1996. TRC model: they have the highest “upset potential” of any contender. - Detroit Lions — 12%
The most emotionally compelling story in professional football. TRC analysis shows their offensive efficiency metrics in 2025 were the highest in Lions franchise history. Jared Goff is statistically underrated by the national media; our model rates him 7th-best QB in the NFL. - Buffalo Bills — 9%
Josh Allen is the most physically gifted quarterback in the sport. The Bills’ ceiling is as high as any team in football. Their floor — inconsistent defensive performance in elimination games — is what keeps them from ranking higher.
TRC Super Bowl LX Final Call
Super Bowl LX: Kansas City Chiefs defeat the Baltimore Ravens, 31-24. Mahomes: 287 yards, 3 TDs, Super Bowl LX MVP. Our model gives the Chiefs a 67% win probability in a Finals matchup against Baltimore specifically — their defensive scheme has historically neutralized the read-option elements that define Lamar’s biggest games.
