Super Bowl 58 Odds After Divisional Round: 49ers Still Favored at +145 Odds
- Entering NFL conference championship games the San Francisco 49ers are the +145 favorites in the latest Super Bowl odds
- It’s still the Baltimore Ravens at +220 holding down the shortest betting line among AFC teams
- The Detroit Lions, the only team among the NFL final four that’s never won the Super Bowl, are given the longest odds at +700
An uninspiring performance by the San Francisco 49ers against the Green Bay Packers in the NFL Divisional Round made no impact whatsoever on the Super Bowl odds.
San Francisco has been the betting line favorite to win the big game since the NFL playoffs got underway. Even after they barely squeaked past the Packers by a 24-21 count in their postseason bow, the 49ers are still sitting as the +145 chalk to win the Super Bowl.
San Francisco will be playing host to the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship Game. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs are heading to the AFC Championship Game for the sixth year in a row. This time, though, they’ll be traveling to the game to face the Ravens in Baltimore. It’s the Ravens who are the second betting choice in the Super Bowl odds at +220.
Let’s take a look at how the NFL final four rank in the Super Bowl odds heading into those conference final games.
NFL Super Bowl Odds
| Team | Odds |
|---|---|
| San Francisco 49ers | +145 |
| Baltimore Ravens | +220 |
| Kansas City Chiefs | +325 |
| Detroit Lions | +700 |
The 49ers lead the current Super Bowl odds at +145, followed by the Ravens at +220. Third-favorites the Chiefs, are priced at +325, ahead of the longshot Lions at +700.

49ers Remain Team to Beat
Trailing the Packers 21-17 with 6:18 left in the fourth quarter, 49ers QB Brock Purdy assembled a game-winning drive of 69 yards over a span of 5:11 to put San Francisco into the NFC Championship game for the second year in succession.
The last player chosen in the 2022 NFL Draft, Purdy improved to 3-1 straight up in NFL postseason play. Overall, he’s 20-5 SU as an NFL starting QB.

Along with a smothering defense that ranks #3 in the NFL (5.0 yards per play allowed), San Francisco suits up perhaps the NFL’s most versatile weapon in RB Christian McCaffrey. He shared the NFL lead with 21 TDs during regular-season play.
In the rain against the Packers, McCaffrey ran for 98 yards and two TDs on 17 carries. McCaffrey also caught seven passes for 30 yards.
Ravens Doing It With Defense
They list the favorite in the Super Bowl MVP odds at QB in Lamar Jackson, but as is usually the case when the Ravens are in the Super Bowl hunt, it’s the team’s defense that’s leading the way.
The NFL’s #1 defensive unit during the regular season (4.6 yards per play), Baltimore beat Houston 34-10 in the NFL Divisional Round. That’s the fifth straight game that the Ravens have held an opponent under 20 points on the scoreboard.
This season, Baltimore has played two of the three other remaining NFL playoff teams during regular-season action. The Ravens whipped Detroit 38-6 at home in Week 7 and pounded the 49ers 33-19 at San Francisco in Week 16.
Chiefs Have Been There, Done That
For the third time in four years, the Chiefs were dispatching the Buffalo Bills from the NFL postseason. Taylor Swift’s favorite NFL team is a win away from going to the Super Bowl for the fourth time with Patrick Mahomes at QB.
There’s an interesting dynamic in play with the AFC Championship Game. Kansas City has never won a conference championship game on the road. Baltimore has never played one at home. Something is going to happen for the first time ever, no matter the outcome.
Lions Set as Longshots
At a betting line of +700, Detroit is given more than double the odds of any of the other teams among the NFL final four. There’s reason for that.

The conference championship games are featuring the NFL’s #1 (Baltimore) 2 (Kansas City) and 3 (San Francisco) defenses. And then there’s the Lions and their #23 defense.
Detroit has allowed 20+ points in five straight games and 10 of 11. In three of their last six road games, the Lions failed to score 20 points.
Outscoring your defense is rarely a recipe for Super Bowl success.
