NFL Playoffs 2024: Chiefs vs Ravens, Lions vs 49ers Odds, Best Bets For Championship Sunday Games – Super Bowl Odds for Each Possible Matchup
The NFL Playoffs are down to the final four! While two of the teams, the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers were expected to be here, the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs were not.
The Chiefs are the defending Super Bowl champs, yet they have been getting the Rodney Dangerfield treatment all season. No respect!
Las Vegas oddsmakers had several teams listed ahead of the Chiefs when the NFL Playoffs began to win Super Bowl 58 – including the team Kansas City defeated last week, the Buffalo Bills.
The Chiefs will be underdogs for the second straight week when they take on the Ravens for the AFC crown. Under the 6-plus years under Mahomes, the Chiefs have rarely been an underdog. But two weeks in a row? That is very rare.
As for the Lions, this is new territory. They have been the Chicago Cubs of the NFL for 5 decades. The loveable losers. That has changed under Dan Campbell in a big way. Can they knock off the heavily favored Niners on the road this Sunday? Of course, they can. It is the NFL – anything can happen. Let’s break it down!
Chiefs vs Ravens (-3.5, O/U 44.5)
A true battle of the two best teams in the AFC. Two great quarterbacks, two great offenses, and two great coaches. While many experts believe that the Ravens will run away from the Chiefs and win by 10 points or more, I don’t.
The Chiefs have been to three of the last four Super Bowls and are led by one of the best coaches in the game Andy Reid. Oh, by the way, they also boast the best QB in the game in my opinion Patrick Mahomes. Yes, the Ravens are stacked and yes Lamar Jackson is in total beast mode right now. Jackson will be tough to contain, but I like the Chiefs to make this game close and possibly win it in the end.
The last team that has the ball could be driving down the field with a chance to win. When it comes to the spread I like KC with the three and a hook. That half-point could be large.
Pick – Kansas City +3.5
Lions vs 49ers (-7, O/U 51.5)
The Lions have zero chance to win Sunday night. At least that is what almost all of the NFL “experts” are saying. I hate to burst all those bubbles out there, but like the Chiefs, I expect the Lions to be in this game right until the end.
It’s cliche, but it is so true. If the Lions can run the ball they will be heading to the Super Bowl. Jared Goff has a ton of weapons on offense and he will expose the Niners’ secondary all day long – that is if Detroit’s running game is effective.
If they don’t end up victorious, I do believe the Lions will be gold ATS. Detroit has the BEST record in the NFL this season ATS at 13-6. The Niners on the other hand are 9-9 ATS, putting them in the bottom third overall.
Take the Lions plus the points – and even put a bit on Detroit on the money line.
Pick – Detroit +7
7 point teaser — KC +10.5 and Detroit +14.
