The top-seeded Detroit Lions are even money to win this season’s NFC title and represent the conference in this year’s Super Bowl. That said, where do the other teams fall in terms of the NFC Championship Betting Odds?
NFC Championship Betting Odds: Lions Favored
According to Fanduel Sportsbook, the Lions have even money (+100) to win the NFC title game and represent the conference in Super Bowl LIX. They earned the top-seed in the NFC by having the conference’s top record and by virtue of their Week 18 win over the Vikings. They had the highest point differential in the NFL this season at +222, with the closest team being the Eagles at +160. Speaking of the Eagles…
NFC Championship Betting Odds: Eagles have Next-Best Odds
The Eagles have the next-best odds to win the NFC championship this season at +170. They won the NFC East and hosted the Packers in the Wildcard round, easily dispatching Green Bay 22-10 in a game that wasn’t as close as the final score would indicate. Their defense was outstanding in the second half of the season. Their 17.8 points against average was second in the NFL. Oh, and they have Saquon Barkley, the NFL’s leading rusher. Barkely didn’t even play the Eagles’ final game and still nearly broke Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record.
NFC Championship Betting Odds: The Long Shots
Following the Lions and Eagles, the Rams have the next-best odds at +650 to win the conference. The Commanders have the worst odds at +1100, although rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels can tilt the scales in Washington’s favor at any point. Both of these teams are coming off upset victories in the Wildcard round. The Commanders upset the Bucs in Tampa Bay as a 3-point underdog and the Rams hammered the Vikings in Arizona, 27-9.
NFC Divisional Round Betting Odds
The Lions opened as 10-point home favorites against the Commanders for Saturday’s 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Depending on which sportsbook you view, Detroit either remains a 10-point favorite or if bettors shop around, the Lions are laying 9.5. This game also features the highest total of the NFL Divisional round at 55.5. The number opened at 54.5.
On Sunday, the Eagles will host the Rams at 3:00 p.m. ET on NBC. They opened as 6-point favorites as soon as the Rams dispatched the Vikings and that’s where the number currently sits. The total, however, has dropped from 44.5 down to 43.5.
