The Detroit Lions are a popular team. That statement would’ve been egregious to state just four years ago.
The 14 teams are determined, and the seeds are set for the 2024 NFL Playoffs. Things are going to start to get real this Saturday.
Only one team can bring home the trophy.
Who are the teas that are the current odds-on favorites to win the Super Bowl and ultimately hoist the Lombardi Trophy?
The Detroit Lions are the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC after easily defeating the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football.
In the AFC, the Kansas City Chiefs are the No. 1 overall seed as they bolster a record of 15-2.
Both the Chiefs and Lions are the only teams in the league with 15 wins.

The Wild Card Round will start on Saturday, with the Texans taking on the Chargers and the Steelers taking on the Ravens.
The following day, the Broncos will take on the Bills, the Packers will play against the Eagles, and then the Commanders will go head-to-head against the Bucs.
In the meantime, Las Vegas sportsbooks have chosen their winner of Super Bowl 59.
It won’t be the Chiefs going all the way for a third-straight Super Bowl victory, as books have the Detroit Lions to win the first Super Bowl in franchise history.
Detroit is +280 favorites to win the Super Bowl, while the Chiefs are +350, the Ravens are +600, the Bills are +650, and the Eagles are +700.

The Detroit Lions Might Be Unstoppable
The Detroit Lions fell short of their first Super Bowl appearance in franchise history last season, but this team is built to withstand the collapse they had in the NFC Championship Game to San Francisco.
In 2024, they returned with a furious vengeance, establishing themselves as the No. 1 seed in the conference for most of the year.
They will be a tough out.
