Lombardi Favorites
With a first-round bye and home-field advantage through to the Super Bowl in Los Angeles, the Packers are +325 favorites to win their second Lombardi Trophy with Aaron Rodgers under center. Things also couldn’t have worked out better for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs (+500), who host a Pittsburgh team they dominated 36-10 on Boxing Day.
Keep in mind the NFL reseeds after Super Wild Card Weekend so Green Bay, as the NFC’s No. 1 seed, will play the lowest-seeded team to advance to the Divisional Round.

If the favorites all take care of business in the NFC, the Packers will welcome the Rams (+1000) to Lambeau Field, leaving the Buccaneers (+800) and Cowboys (+1000) to battle it out on the other side of the bracket.
Meanwhile, as the AFC’s No. 2 seed, Kansas City will face No. 3 Buffalo (+800) if the Bills defeat New England on Saturday night. And, after being slept on and dismissed all year, the No. 1 seed Tennessee Titans (+850) will host Cincinnati (+2000) or Las Vegas (+4000) in the second round unless Bill Belichick and the Patriots (+1600) prevail over the Bills.
Best Super Bowl Values
Sure, Dallas (+1000) chokes every year and their offense has looked mediocre when not playing defenses that were COVID-ravaged (Washington) or resting for the postseason (Philadelphia). But this is an excellent setup for America’s Team. On Sunday, the Cowboys’ turnover-forcing defense will face the 49ers (+2200) and Jimmy Garoppolo, who has three multiple INT games in his last six.
If Mike McCarthy’s club can avoid the upset, they’ll then travel to Tampa Bay to face a Buccaneers team missing Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown from their receiving corps. The defending champs could be vulnerable.
A rivalry renewed.

Joe Burrow threw for nearly 1,000 yards with eight touchdowns and no interceptions in Weeks 16-17 to clinch the NFC North. Now, after a week of rest, the Bengals (+2000) face a Raiders club they stomped by 19 points in late November.
If their swiss-cheese offensive line can survive a visit from Maxx Crosby and company, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins could feast on the Titans’ pass-funnel defense in the Divisional Round.
