Eric Cohen Simulates All 285 NFL Games, Backs Saints Over 7.5 Wins

Q: Which 60-1 underdog could shatter expectations and disrupt the Rams' projected path to Super Bowl LXI glory?

The 60-1 underdog is not identified by name in the public excerpts from Eric Cohen’s projections. What is clear is that Cohen says his full SportsLine package includes “a Super Bowl future that could pay around 60-1,” while his publicly revealed championship pick has the Rams beating the Bills 27-20 in Super Bowl LXI. The available story and supporting web material name his strongest win-total positions on the Saints over 7.5 and Packers under 10.5, but they do not disclose which specific team he likes at roughly 60-1 to win the Super Bowl. Based on the public information, the only accurate answer is that the identity of that long-shot team is behind the SportsLine paywall and was not included in the released summary. So while Cohen believes there is a 60-1 contender capable of upsetting the Rams’ projected run, the published materials do not reveal which club it is.

SportsLine's Eric Cohen projected every 2026-27 NFL regular-season and playoff game, then published team win totals, playoff forecasts and Super Bowl LXI futures.
New Orleans is one of his clearest over bets: Cohen has the Saints winning 9 games against a 7.5 total, citing Tyler Shough's late-season surge, a top-10 defense and the league's second-weakest schedule.
Green Bay is a key under pick. Cohen projects the Packers at 8-9 versus a 10.5 total after a five-game skid to end last season, major free-agent losses and one of the NFL's toughest schedules.
Cohen's broader card also includes plus-money win-total bets and a roughly 60-1 Super Bowl outcome, extending a track record highlighted by a 180-91-1 straight-up record last regular season.
