As NFL teams prepare for the final week of the regular season, punters should consider examining the chances of favorites dethroning Tom Brady and the Buccaneers to win the championship.
Several well-known teams are in contention for the championship this year, such as the Packers, Buccaneers, Chiefs, and Patriots. Sports fans in Illinois can place bets on the Super Bowl through online sportsbooks.
If visitors such as the Bengals, Chargers, and Cardinals can reach the promised area, they will provide a great return on investment.
Before Week 18 of the NFL, make sure to familiarize yourself with some of the most intriguing bets and storylines.
possibilities for the Super Bowl
Each team’s chances of winning the Lombardi Trophy are as follows.
Green Bay streaking at the ideal moment
The Packers secured a convincing victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17, their second consecutive win. They also have +380 odds to win the Super Bowl.
Securing the NFC championship title ensured that the Pack would have home field advantage for the playoffs. With most top NFC teams playing in domes or warm climates, hosting games at Lambeau Field in the cold weather could give Green Bay an edge.
The partnership of Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams has been the key factor in the team’s success. Adams ranks third in receiving yards with 1,498, while Rodgers is ninth in passing yards with 3,977.
For Brady and the Bucs, back-to-back?
At DraftKings Illinois, Tampa Bay has odds of +900 to win back-to-back Super Bowls, ranking them fifth among all teams.
Tampa Bay ended their season on a busy note, as injuries to Chris Godwin and Leonard Fournette took a toll on the team.
Antonio Brown fulfilled the fantasy of office workers everywhere in Week 17 by removing his jersey and pads and exiting the game mid-way after a dispute with head coach Bruce Arians.
Despite his impressive postseason record of 34-11 and seven Super Bowl rings, Brady will not be able to lead his team to the playoffs this year due to various factors and setbacks.
Possibly a benefit play
Tennessee, the only AFC team left in the playoffs, has over 1,200 points to secure the Lombardi Trophy.
Despite many teams resting key players after clinching playoff spots in Week 18, the Titans have much to gain from a victory. Beating the Houston Texans would allow star running back Derrick Henry more time to prepare for a possible return in the playoffs.
Henry was a dominant force until he broke his foot in Week 8. Despite sitting out the previous eight games, he still ranks fifth in rushing yards and was the team’s top rusher before getting injured.
Head coach Mike Vrabel of Tennessee has hinted at an official decision to activate Henry to the 53-man active roster this week.
If Tennessee can defeat the struggling Texans in Week 18, they will secure a first-round bye for the Titans, allowing Henry more time to make up for lost time before the divisional round of the playoffs.
