2024 Super Bowl Odds Heat Up the Divisional Round
Gearing Up for the Divisional Round Blastoff
The NFL playoff schedule is in full swing, and the divisional round is just around the corner. The Super Wild Card Weekend lived up to expectations, with some favorites biting the dust early and dark horses still dreaming of Super Bowl glory. Let’s step it up with some of the upcoming 2024 Super Bowl Odds.
Upsets and Surprises
The NFC East saw a twist of fate as both the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles, touted as top contenders with odds at +1100 and +850 respectively just a few weeks ago, got sent packing. The Green Bay Packers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who showed them the exit door, have seen their odds skyrocket. Back in Week 17, the Bucs were at +8000, while the Packers were at a distant +20000. Fast forward to the divisional round, and they’re both standing strong at +3000, alongside the Houston Texans, who sent the Browns (+4500 entering Week 17) packing on Saturday. Some real doozies of 2024 Super Bowl Odds are cookin’ up!
Divisional Round Odds: Who’s the Favorite?
As we gear up for the divisional round, the top seeds make their entrance. It’s no surprise that the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens lead the NFL playoff picture. The 49ers are the frontrunners at +170, closely followed by the Ravens at +290. Despite the Ravens defeating the 49ers 33-19 in Week 16, the oddsmakers maintain San Fran’s status as the top pick.
Value Showdown: Bills vs Chiefs
One of the most intriguing matchups in terms of value pits the Buffalo Bills (+500) against the Kansas City Chiefs (+700). This game marks Patrick Mahomes’ first road playoff appearance, and he’s 2-0 against Josh Allen in previous playoff encounters, all on home turf. But this time, Buffalo holds a slim 2.5-point favorite status.
If Mahomes can pull off the upset, the Chiefs might just become legitimate contenders for back-to-back Super Bowl victories, a feat not achieved since the 2003-2004 New England Patriots. With an effective running game, a solid defense, and Mahomes’ elite quarterback skills, the Chiefs are a team to watch. If Rashee Rice continues to shine, it could be the key to unlocking the Chiefs’ offense and turning a +700 ticket into a valuable pick.
As the divisional round approaches, the Super Bowl odds continue to fluctuate, as is the norm.
