With the NFL regular season winding down and most division and conference titles already decided, attention is shifting toward the Super Bowl. Sportsbooks, in particular, have identified a clear favorite to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
This Sunday marks the end of the NFL regular season. Most games are now largely inconsequential, as only one playoff spot remains open in each conference.
Among the few matchups that still carry weight, the clash between the 13-3 Seattle Seahawks and the 12-4 San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium stands out. Not only will this game decide the NFC West champion and the top seed in the NFC, but it will also feature two of the leading contenders to win the Super Bowl in February.
The betting favorites to win the Super Bowl
According to the latest DraftKings Sportsbook odds, the Seahawks are the heavy favorites to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy, listed at +475.
Close behind are the Los Angeles Rams (11-5) at +550. The Denver Broncos lead the AFC with odds of +700, while the 49ers sit at +850. The New England Patriots round out the top five at +900.
To put Seattle’s odds into perspective: a $100 bet on the Seahawks to win the Super Bowl would return $575-your original $100 stake plus $475 in winnings.
What’s at stake in Week 18
Although most playoff spots are already secured, Week 18 still promises drama. Four teams remain in contention for division titles and postseason berths.
- AFC North: The Pittsburgh Steelers (9-7) and Baltimore Ravens (8-8) will battle for the division crown and a playoff berth at Acrisure Stadium.
- NFC South: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-9) and Carolina Panthers (8-8) will face off for both the division title and the conference’s final playoff spot.
