Super Bowl Favorites Odds
Seattle Seahawks (+360)
Seattle comes into the playoffs holding the #1 seed in the NFC, the bye week, and home-field advantage, so it almost comes as little surprise they’re such comfortable favorites.
Sam Darnold made history this year, being the second QB ever to win 14 games back-to-back, joining Tom Brady on this list, hardly poor company. He and Jackson Smith-Njigba have set the league alight, combining for 1,793 yards and 10 TDs.
Little seems able to halt the Seahawks either, with the best defence in the league, allowing a mere 17.2 points per game, all whilst scoring 28.4, 3rd in the league.
All that stands in their way, perhaps, is a lack of playoff experience. Darnold lost his first playoff outing with the Vikes last year, 27-9 to the Rams. Yet with Super Bowl winner Cooper Kupp leading the WR room, the Seahawks look poised.
LA Rams (+425)
The LA Rams come into the postseason with Matt Stafford in almost perfect form, set to take the MVP award, as his 46 TDs and 4,700 yards are enough to terrify any defense.
Their second favourite rank comes courtesy of some exceptional skill players, WR Puka Nacua and RB Kyren Williams, combining for 2900 scrimmage yards and 20 TDs.
We must also bear in mind their first opponents in the playoffs, the Carolina Panthers, unlikely to pose too much of a threat and grant the Rams a swift route to the next round.
Denver Broncos (+650)
Denver snatched the #1 seed in the AFC after some fraught final weeks of play; two losses did not help, but a handy victory over the Titans gave them some form to take into the playoffs.
Built on a shutdown secondary, Denver will be hoping the old saying holds, ‘Defence wins championships’, as their offence has been faltering. No 1000-yard rushers, no 10 TD players, raises concerns about Bo Nix and his offensive output.
A bye week can swing either way, and the Broncos need to make sure they’re still kicking come the divisional round of the playoffs.
Philadelphia Eagles (+850)
Last year’s Super Bowl champs are back again, but face a tough test in the Wildcard round, having to face an in-form 49ers side that is finally healthy. The Eagles journey could end this weekend, but with the full force of The Link behind them, fly Eagles fly.
Yet, pedigree seems to be the reason for their odds, more so than their performances this term. Yes, 11-6 and six isn’t a bad record, but with superstars Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith barely scraping 1000 yards, neither with 10+ TDs.
Offensive power is crucial during the playoffs, and we're fading the Eagles due to a sincere lack of it this season.
New England Patriots (+1000)
The Pats are back, with their new man, Drake Maye, helming the side. The second-year QB has set Foxborough alight, some seeing a new dynasty emerging at Gillette Stadium.
With 4,394 yards and 31 TDs to his name, Maye is second only to Matt Stafford as QBs go in the playoffs, something the Pats will need as they face the fierce LA Chargers in the Wildcard round.
A tough test, but one New England looks more than up to as the side Mike Vrabel, legendary Pats LB, has built one of the staunchest defences in football.
Offensive excellence, rock-solid defense and a coach that has won three Super Bowls in the Red and Blue, sets the New England Patriots to go deep. The stars seem to be aligning over Foxborough, making the Pats our dark horse for the Super Bowl.
