NFL Playoff Stage Of Elimination Odds

baltimore ravens

Odds as of January 22nd

Best Value Bet: Win Super Bowl (+200)

This is the Ravens year. They had the most points per game in the AFC and fewest against. They've already beaten the remaining 
NFC teams handily, crushing Detroit and San Fran in the regular season. They may even get Mark Andrews back for the final few games.

This +200 line isn't the sexiest value in the world, but it's certainly the best bet of the Ravens' markets.

detroit lions

Odds as of January 22nd

Best Value Bet: Win Super Bowl (+750)

I just told you it was the Ravens' year, so why are we betting on Detroit? Because this line is just too nice to pass up. At most books, the Lions are +700 in Super Bowl odds entering the Championship games. With this market, you get a few points extra juice.

Do I think the Lions are going to win the Super Bowl? No. But, can I pass up an opportunity for slight value? Also no.

Kansas city chiefs

Odds as of January 22nd

Best Value Bet: Lose In Championship Round (-175)

I mean, part of me also wants to take the value on the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl here. But, I have to show a little restraint at some point.

So, remember everything I just said about the Ravens? Best defense and offense in the AFC, and all that. Well, that's all the reason I need to fade the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.

san francisco 49ers

Odds as of January 22nd

Best Value Bet: Lose In Super Bowl (+160)

Brock Purdy was in the MVP discussion all season, until he played the Ravens. The 49ers' QB threw four interceptions in that loss to Baltimore, and I'd expect he'll face some demons if the two teams rematch in the Super Bowl. The Ravens won't need four interceptions to beat the 49ers in the big game, but one or two would probably be enough to swing the potential title match.
