NFL Power Rankings Based on Super Bowl Odds Ahead of Divisional Round (Can You Trust Buffalo?)
By Peter Dewey
Wild Card Weekend in the NFL was full of intriguing games, including a pair of upsets by the New York Giants and Jacksonville Jaguars.
Doug Pederson's Jags had an unbelievable come-from-behind win over the Los Angeles Chargers, and Trevor Lawrence showed a ton of poise after four first-half interceptions.
In this week's Power Rankings, the San Francisco 49ers and Jaguars are making moves up, while the Buffalo Bills drop a spot after struggling with the Miami Dolphins and third-string quarterback Skylar Thompson.
How should you aim to bet in the futures market win the divisional round? Here's how I think the rest of the field stacks up:
1. Kansas City Chiefs (+300) Last Week: No. 1
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs keep the top spot after being on the bye on Wild Card Weekend.
2. San Francisco 49ers (+400) LW: No. 5
Brock Purdy and the 49ers are the real deal, and they may be the best team in the NFC if Brock Purdy keeps balling like this.
3. Buffalo Bills (+350) LW: No. 2
Josh Allen didn't look sharp against the Dolphins, and the Bengals are a much tougher test in the divisional round.
4. Philadelphia Eagles (+500) LW: No. 3
The question for the Eagles is whether or not Jalen Hurts is healthy enough to lead this team on a Super Bowl run.
5. Cincinnati Bengals (+550) LW: No. 4
The Bengals escaped the Baltimore Ravens with a win, but the injuries to the offensive line are certainly concerning.
6. Dallas Cowboys (+1100) LW: No. 6
Dak Prescott and the Cowboys dominated the Bucs in the wild card round, but they have a tough matchup with the 49ers coming up. If Dallas' offense can keep up this pace, it's going to be a tough out.
7. Jacksonville Jaguars (+3000) LW: No. 7
The Jaguars completed an insane comeback against the Chargers, and now they have a chance to do the unthinkable and knock off the Chiefs this week.
8. New York Giants (+2500) LW: No. 12
The Giants are playing with house money after upsetting the Vikings. Can Brian Daboll's squad upset the Eagles?
