It would be unexpected if any NFC team other than the San Francisco 49ers emerges as the Super Bowl victor.
The NFC team that secured the top seed is even more favored to win the conference and the Super Bowl after the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles were defeated during wild-card weekend. However, if the San Francisco 49ers lose in the next two weekends, it is likely that an AFC team will emerge victorious with the Lombardi Trophy.
Following wild-card weekend, three out of the top four Super Bowl favorites according to BetMGM are now from the AFC. The Baltimore Ravens still hold the second-highest odds to win the Super Bowl, with the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs following closely behind. It is necessary to scroll down to the fifth spot on the board to find the second-highest NFC team.
The 49ers, who started the playoffs with +225 odds of winning the Super Bowl, have seen their chances improve as they currently stand at +175 before their upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers. Similarly, their odds of winning the NFC have shifted from -120 to -190, indicating a strong possibility of making it to the Super Bowl for the first time since after the 2019 season.
After three AFC teams were eliminated over the weekend, the Ravens saw their odds of winning the Super Bowl increase from +325 to +275. This weekend, they will host the Texans, who have the lowest odds among all teams at +3000. The Bills, on the other hand, experienced a jump in their odds from +650 to +500 after defeating the Steelers at home. Their odds are slightly better than the Chiefs at +700, who will be facing the Bills on Sunday. The Chiefs initially opened the playoffs at +950 and had a decisive victory over the Dolphins. This upcoming game in Buffalo will mark the first time the Chiefs have played a true road game in the playoffs since Patrick Mahomes assumed the role of the team’s starting quarterback in 2018.
The Lions have significantly improved their odds in comparison to the teams ranked below them, overtaking the Chiefs with a +900 ranking. This considerable improvement is due to the losses of the Cowboys and Eagles, resulting in the reduction of the Lions’ odds from +2000. Following the Buccaneers’ victory over the Eagles on Monday night, the Lions will be hosting them on Sunday afternoon.
The Super Bowl odds for the divisional round are as follows: San Francisco 49ers are the favorites at +175, followed by the Baltimore Ravens at +275. The Buffalo Bills have odds of +500, while the Kansas City Chiefs are at +700. The Detroit Lions are at +900, with both the Green Bay Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers at +2800. The Houston Texans have the lowest odds at +3000.
The NFC championship odds are as follows:
San Francisco 49ers have the highest odds at -190.
The Detroit Lions have odds of +325.
Both the Green Bay Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the same odds of +900.
The odds for the AFC championship are as follows: Baltimore Ravens are favored with +120, followed by the Buffalo Bills with +225, the Kansas City Chiefs with +300, and the Houston Texans with a less favorable +1300.
