Super Bowl Odds: Updated betting lines following NFL Divisional Round
And then there were four. With the NFL Divisional Round in the rearview and the NFC and AFC Championship Games taking center stage, the odds for Super Bowl LIX have been updated, courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
Over the weekend, Patrick Mahomes led the Kansas City Chiefs to a victory over the Houston Texans, while Josh Allen survived Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens to set up a monster showdown in the AFC title game. Perhaps the Buffalo Bills can finally overcome the reigning, defending back-to-back Super Bowl victors.
On the other side of the bracket, it’ll be an all-NFC East NFC title game, with the Washington Commanders upsetting the Detroit Lions, and the Philadelphia Eagles sending the Los Angeles Rams home. These two teams split their season series, so it’s anyone’s guess as to who gets the win on Sunday.
With that in mind, DraftKings isn’t hiding who they believe will end up in the Super Bowl, and which teams they believe in the most at the moment. Check out their updated odds for February’s Super Bowl below, which will emanate from New Orleans.
Philadelphia Eagles (+175)
DraftKings has the Philadelphia Eagles as the top option remaining at the moment. Evidently, the odds-makers believe Jalen Hurts and company will be able to handle their division rival in the Washington Commanders, which makes them the favorite over either AFC team, where their championship game is more of a toss-up.
During both matchups with Washington, Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley rushed for at least 146 yards, scoring four touchdowns against the Commanders. Jayden Daniels is the wild card, but if the Philadelphia defense plays up to their potential, celebrations could be had on Sunday in the City of Brotherly Love.
Kansas City Chiefs (+240)
The Kansas City Chiefs have been able to handle each of their opponents throughout the 2024 campaign, except for the Buffalo Bills. Patrick Mahomes and company couldn’t defeat Josh Allen’s squad back in November, which ended up being their only true defeat over the past couple of months.

Still, the Chiefs have had the Bills number throughout the last couple of years, especially in the postseason. Travis Kelce seems to be coming on recently as well, as Kansas City is motivated to achieve a three-peat.
Buffalo Bills (+260)
Could this finally be the season where the Buffalo Bills get over the hump and return to the Super Bowl? We can worry about whether they’ll win or not if they get there, but they have to get past the vaunted Kansas City Chiefs before anything can be considered, and that’s been their bugaboo.
The keyword over the weekend for the Bills was survival, as they stayed perfect at home against the Baltimore Ravens. Despite their incredible season, a Super Bowl is the only thing that’ll make 2024 a success for the Bills, and all their chips will have to be pushed into the center of the table next Sunday.
Washington Commanders (+650)
The odd team out seems to be playing with house money, but don’t tell the Washington Commanders that. Dan Quinn knows that you have to take advantage anytime you’re this close to the Super Bowl, and that’s exactly what the upstart team from the NFC East will be looking to do.
With Jayden Daniels leading the charge, anything is possible. The quarterback broke the dreams of the Detroit Lions, and now he’ll be looking to end the Philadelphia Eagles season and head to the Super Bowl as a rookie. Pretty incredible stuff.
