The two-time defending-champion Kansas City Chiefs will head into the 2025 NFL playoffs as the favorites in the Super Bowl odds, currently priced at +350 to win a record-setting third straight title.
Eagles Open as Favorites Over Packers
In the top-heavy NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles only managed the #2 seed with a 14-3 record. If that wasn’t unfair enough, the Eagles will have to face the incredibly dangerous Green Bay Packers (11-5) on Wild Card weekend at the Linc. The Packers fell to the #7 seed thanks to a 24-22 loss to the Bears in Week 18.
These teams met all the way back in Week 1 in Brazil with the Eagles earning a 34-29 neutral-field victory, despite finishing -2 in turnover differential and getting slightly outgained (414 to 410 yards).
Bills Laying Over a Touchdown to Broncos
Even before the Broncos (10-7) put the finishing touches on their Week 18 rout of the shorthanded Chiefs, which Denver led 38-0 in the fourth quarter, sportsbooks had posted odds for their impending Wild Card matchup with the #2-seed Buffalo Bills (13-4). Buffalo has opened as a big 7.5-point home favorite.
While Week 18 was a relative cakewalk for the Broncos, Buffalo will come into Wild Card weekend the fresher team. Head coach Sean McDermott gave starting QB Josh Allen the week off along with about half of his defensive starters. Buffalo wound up falling 23-16 to the Patriots in a mean-nothing game.
Denver and Buffalo didn’t meet in this regular season but did square off at Orchard Park last year, with Russell Wilson leading the visiting Broncos to a 24-22 upset as, coincidentally, 7.5-point underdogs. This iteration of the Broncos is, of course, led by rookie QB Bo Nix, who had a career day against Kansas City. Midway through the fourth quarter, the 24-year-old rookie was 26/29 for 321 yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions.
Steelers/Ravens Rematch Heavily Favors Baltimore
Bitter AFC North rivals Pittsburgh and Baltimore will square off for a third time this season on Wild Card weekend, and the Ravens are laying 7.5 points in the opening Wild Card weekend odds. The Steelers won the first meeting at home back in Week 11 (18-16) while the Ravens dominated the second matchup in Baltimore (34-17) in Week 16.
