Kalshi traders price Rams as Super Bowl favorite at 17%

Kalshi traders price the Los Angeles Rams as Super Bowl favorite at 17%, with the Buffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawks next at 8% each. The platform also published Week 1 NFL power rankings for the 2026 season and priced a Seahawks-Patriots matchup at 61% for Seattle. Deadspin highlighted the Patriots-Seahawks and Rams-49ers markets as ones to watch in Week 1. Kalshi's middle-of-league pricing is described as an open field.

These are snapshot prices, not liquid markets that can absorb serious size. The 17% Rams line and 61% Seahawks price are marketing signals more than tradeable edges against widely available sportsbook odds. Kalshi's real challenge is converting September opening-week curiosity into sustained weekly engagement after novelty fades. Novig's $125 million first-week pace and Polymarket's established pools are pulling sharp volume toward tighter markets elsewhere. Traders comparing fills across venues will route size to wherever depth and reliability exist. Kalshi must match order-book depth or lose traders to slippage at the moment it can least afford it, with the first Sunday's order-book quality revealing which platform spent its summer wisely.
