The 49ers have been the Super Bowl favorite for the majority of the season, and there's no reason to move off that position. Oddsmakers at theScore Bet are giving San Francisco a 56.5% chance of making it to Las Vegas and a 30.8% chance of getting crowned as champions. With a first-round bye and home-field advantage, it looks as though the road to the Super Bowl for NFC teams goes through the Bay Area.
The Ravens are the favorites - in oddsmakers' opinion - to come out of the more competitive AFC. They have been given an implied probability of 43.5% to make the Super Bowl, with three other teams - the Bills, Chiefs, and Dolphins - also priced under +1000.
But before we start looking toward the AFC and NFC Championship Games, teams not named the Ravens or 49ers will take part in the super wild-card round with six games on deck.
Here are the odds as of Monday for the first set of playoff games with some mouthwatering matchups.
| Date (Time ET) | Line | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Jan. 13 (4:30 p.m.) | CLE (-2.5) @ HOU | 44.5 |
| Jan. 13 (8:00 p.m.) | MIA @ KC (-3.5) | 43.5 |
| Jan. 14 (1:00 p.m.) | PIT @ BUF (-10) | 35.5 |

| Jan. 14 (8:15 p.m.) | LAR @ DET (-3.5) | 51.5 |
| Jan. 15 (8:15 p.m.) | PHI (-3) @ TB | 44.5 |
The Browns and the Eagles are the only two road favorites, but both games are lined at a field goal or less.
The Bills are the largest favorite of the week, with the betting market suggesting Buffalo should lay 10 points to the Steelers.
The Lions are 3.5-point favorites over Matthew Stafford and the Rams in the highest-projected point total of the week.
