The NFL is left with its final four teams, and the San Francisco 49ers (+145) remain the favorites to win Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas.
After narrowly beating the Green Bay Packers in the divisional round, the 49ers will host the Detroit Lions in the NFC championship game next week. The 49ers are favored by a touchdown.
Baltimore has the second-best odds after winning 34-10 over Houston in the divisional round. Lamar Jackson is expected to win the MVP trophy this season, and he showed why in a dominant second half that saw the Ravens outscore the Texans 24-0 after halftime. Baltimore is favored by a field goal against Kansas City next week.
If you’re not a fan of the Ravens, Chiefs, or 49ers, you’re probably now rooting for the lovable underdogs: the Detroit Lions.
Detroit has the highest odds to win the Super Bowl at +700 to advance to next week’s NFC Championship Game. The Lions will be big underdogs next week, and using the betting power rankings, the Lions would be underdogs to both the Ravens and Chiefs in the Super Bowl if they were to defeat the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game.
Kansas City will play its sixth consecutive AFC Championship game. Patrick Mahomes has reached the AFC title in each of his six years as a starter with the Chiefs and is 3-2 in his previous five trips. The Chiefs beat the Bills 27-24 in the divisional round after a missed field goal by Tyler Bass in the final two minutes of regulation.
The Chiefs opened as betting favorites (+600) for this year’s Super Bowl after winning Super Bowl LVII last year against Philadelphia. San Francisco opened at +900, Baltimore opened at +1800 and Detroit opened at +2500. The Lions had early betting support when they opened the season at +2200 to win the Super Bowl at BetMGM.
Super Bowl MVP Betting
Super Bowl MVP markets are on the rise and Jackson is the favorite to win that award. It’s interesting because typically the starting quarterback of the favored team is the first to win the MVP award, as it seems like a quarterback is always awarded by default. Cooper Kupp won MVP for the Rams in Super Bowl LVI.
