The NFL playoffs are right around the corner. There is still one week left in the regular season though, meaning there is still a chance that teams on the outside looking in sneak in.
That plays a massive role on Super Bowl odds. While a team like the Denver Broncos might currently be in position to reach the playoffs, a team like the Cincinnati Bengals might be more likely to win a championship if they can find a way to reach the postseason.
On the other side, teams that have already clinched, but have looked unimpressive lately, such as the Pittsburgh Steelers, might have lower odds than a team that has yet to clinch.
Here is every team’s Super Bowl odds as we approach Week 18. All odds via BetMGM.
Super Bowl 59 odds:
The favorites:
1) Kansas City Chiefs: +375
NFL STATS CENTRAL: The latest NFL scores, schedules, odds, stats and more.
2) Detroit Lions: +400
3) Buffalo Bills: +550
4) Baltimore Ravens: +700
5) Philadelphia Eagles: +700
Hide from it, run from it, the result will always be the same. The Kansas City Chiefs are destined to win a third consecutive Super Bowl. They haven’t scored 30 points in a game all year, yet they are 15-1. Every other team in the league yet to score 30 points in a game all have four or fewer wins.
That’s a team of destiny right there. While the Lions and their balanced, efficient offense are enticing, Josh Allen’s heroics continue, and Lamar Jackson’s stats are irrefutable, the Chiefs will boast the No. 1 seed in the AFC for a reason. It’d be foolish to bet against them given everything we know.
The contenders:
6) Minnesota Vikings: +900
7) Green Bay Packers: +1600
8) Los Angeles Rams: +2500
9) Los Angeles Chargers: +4000
10) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: +4000
11) Washington Commanders: +4000
The Los Angeles Rams started the season 1-4 and have bolted back to claim an NFC West title. They are in position to host a playoff game, and quarterback Matthew Stafford is one of the few quarterbacks in the league that actually has proven capable of leading a team to a Super Bowl victory. Based on the Rams’ history, there’s a good chance Los Angeles could shock people in the postseason.
The dark horses:
12) Houston Texans: +5000
13) Pittsburgh Steelers: +5000
14) Denver Broncos: +6600
Of these three teams, the Denver Broncos boast arguably the best defense of the bunch and arguably the most explosive quarterback of the bunch. Bo Nix has been no joke as of late. He’s playing his best football of the season at just the right time. If he can carry that momentum into the postseason, the Broncos will be tough to beat.
The longshots:
15) Cincinnati Bengals: +15000
16) Atlanta Falcons: +25000
17) Miami Dolphins: +25000
Let’s be real here. The Falcons are falling apart. The Dolphins’ starting quarterback is hurt. Of these three teams, the team with the healthy quarterback, playing the best lately, and with a proven resume capable of reaching the Super Bowl is the best bet.
While it would take a lot for the Bengals to reach the playoffs, there’s no arguing that Cincinnati would be a team no one would want to see on their schedule in a one-and-done situation.
