The NFL playoffs are set to kick off this weekend, following an entertaining regular season filled with huge upsets and unexpected contenders. Only 14 teams are left standing as we enter the NFL Wild Card round, each with their eyes on the ultimate prize: Super Bowl LX.
This year’s playoff field is wide open, with no single team separating itself as the clear favourite.
This kind of parity tends to push the odds higher for every team, leading to real betting value and the opportunity to win a massive Super Bowl payday to close out the NFL season.
With that in mind, we’re going team by team to see how all the playoff teams stack up heading into the postseason. From the top seeds to the longshots, here are the Super Bowl odds for every team in the playoffs.
AFC Playoffs
Denver Broncos (+700)
Having earned the AFC’s top seed, Denver benefits from a first-round bye and home-field advantage. There may still be some question marks surrounding Bo Nix and this passing game, but the Broncos possess a stout defence and elite pass rush; both key elements of nearly every Super Bowl champion in the modern era.
New England Patriots (+1100)
The Patriots are once again Super Bowl contenders, with Drake Maye doing his best Brady impression this season. Head coach Mike Vrabel has quickly built a winner in New England, with an explosive offence that can beat you on the ground or through the air, and a defence built for January football.
Buffalo Bills (+1100)
The Bills failed to win the AFC East for the first time since 2019, so wouldn’t it be fitting if this was the year they finally won the Super Bowl? It won’t be easy with a weak run defence and all their games coming on the road, but they’ll have a shot as long as Josh Allen is under centre.
Houston Texans (+1200)
They say defence wins championships. If that’s true, we’re getting tremendous value on the Texans. Houston has a top-three defence, along with an improving passing game led by CJ Stroud. Riding an NFL-high nine-game winning streak, the Texans are a popular pick heading into the playoffs.
Jacksonville Jaguars (+1600)
Few people expected the Jaguars to win their division, but here they are as the third seed in the AFC Playoffs. Trevor Lawrence leads an effective aerial attack built for quick strikes, while new DC Anthony Campanile has transformed this defence. If they can get past Buffalo in the Wild Card round, watch out.
Los Angeles Chargers (+3300)
Elite quarterback. Effective run game. Strong pass rush. This team checks all the boxes. They’ve had their ups and downs throughout the season, but the Chargers are capable of beating just about anyone. With Justin Herbert playing as a road underdog with nothing to lose, Los Angeles could make some noise this postseason.
Pittsburgh Steelers (+5000)
Pittsburgh has a tough road ahead as the seven-seed in the AFC, but they do have some weapons at their disposal. They have a dangerous run game, a Super Bowl-winning quarterback in Aaron Rodgers and one of the game’s premier pass rushers in TJ Watt. If you like betting on longshots, why not the Steelers?
NFC Playoffs
Seattle Seahawks (+425)
The Seahawks are the betting favourite to win the Super Bowl and it’s not hard to see why. With an explosive passing attack, a physical run game and the NFL’s top scoring defence, they look every bit the part of a number one seed. With a first-round bye and home-field advantage, Seattle has a clear path to Super Bowl 60.
Los Angeles Rams (+450)
With an offence featuring Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, Davante Adams and Kyren Williams, the Rams can put up points on just about anybody. That makes them very dangerous come playoff time. They may be a five-seed in the NFC Playoffs, but the Rams are one of the top contenders to go all the way.
Philadelphia Eagles (+900)
The Eagles are back in the playoffs and looking to defend last year’s Super Bowl title. While their offensive production has been inconsistent this season, Philadelphia is getting healthy at just the right time and has already proven they have what it takes to get the job done in the playoffs.
Green Bay Packers (+1800)
The Packers struggled down the stretch and finished as the seven-seed in the NFC Playoffs, but don’t count them out just yet. The injury to Micah Parsons was a major blow, but with an elite quarterback in Jordan Love and a capable rushing attack led by Josh Jacobs, this team will not go down without a fight.
Chicago Bears (+2000)
Back in the playoffs for the first time since 2020, Chicago is looking to prove they belong with the NFL’s top teams. Head coach Ben Johnson has completely revitalized this program in his first season, pairing a disciplined defence with a run-first offensive identity that has grinded out tough wins all year long.
San Francisco 49ers (+2000)
Despite another injury-plagued season, the 49ers have become a popular sleeper pick to win the Super Bowl. Their defence is no longer what it once was without Fred Warner, but Kyle Shanahan has built an offensive juggernaut that can keep them in any game. With Super Bowl LX at their home stadium, you know San Francisco would love to play host.
Carolina Panthers (+20000)
With the longest odds of any team in the playoffs, the Panthers have their work cut out for them. It’s tough to envision a path that takes them all the way to the Super Bowl, but then again, crazier things have happened. Don’t expect any miracles, but with a 200-to-1 payout, even a small ticket can win big.
