Predictions for Super Bowl LV
Ready for some juicy football bets? The Super Bowl, known as the 'Greatest Show on Turf,' is just around the corner, and it's not just fanatics who are eagerly awaiting it. Even casual sports fans are jumping on the hype train.
Before the championship game in February at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, there are some playoff bets that could line your pockets in January. Here are three profitable bets to consider:
Green Bay Packers to Win NFC Championship - 5/1
The Green Bay Packers are crushing it this season and are fighting for the number one seed in the unpredictable NFC Conference. With Aaron Rodgers at the helm, they're the team to beat. Rodgers, arguably the best QB in the NFL, has already thrown 29 touchdowns with a completion rate of 68.2%. He's a frontrunner for the MVP award, an honor he's bagged twice before.
Rodgers has a superstar wide receiver in Davante Adams, and a potent running game with Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams combining for over 800 yards in the Packers' first 10 games. This dual threat makes them a tough nut to crack.
As of November 27th, the Packers stand at 9/2 in Betway's NFC Championship betting. They seem to be the cup heroes of the conference. If they manage to secure home advantage for the playoffs, they could be headed back to the Super Bowl once again. They're also capable of delivering big results on the road if needed.
The New Orleans Saints currently lead the outright market for the NFC Championship, but Taysom Hill is stepping in for the injured Drew Brees at QB. The Los Angeles Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are also contenders, but their inconsistent offensive performances this season give the Green Bay Packers the edge.
Kansas City to Win AFC Championship - 6/4
The Kansas City Chiefs are gunning for a back-to-back Super Bowl win, last achieved by the New England Patriots in 2005. And with Andy Reid's side showing no signs of slowing down, they're looking tough to beat.
All the limelight in the AFC is on the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are leading the pack. The Steelers' impressive form might take some heat off the Chiefs.
Patrick Mahomes is putting on showstopping performances every week. He's racked up over 3000 passing yards and 27 touchdowns, while only giving away two interceptions.
As of this writing, Kansas City is 11/8 to win the AFC Championship this season. With Mahomes and Reid on a roll, your betting strategy should include the Chiefs as they strive to be the NFL's new dynasty.
Super Bowl Winner to Come from AFC Championship - 3/5
You can bet on which conference will produce the Super Bowl winner, and the AFC Championship looks like the smart choice. With a strong lineup boasting the Chiefs, Steelers, and Baltimore Ravens, the AFC seems more stacked than the NFC.
Six out of the last eight Super Bowl champions have hailed from the AFC, and the odds suggest the AFC is the favorite to carry on the winning streak. Secure them at 3/5 to continue their impressive record. The odds conversion table for this market implies the AFC has a 62.5% chance of success. That percentage should be a bit higher, so if you can stomach backing an odds-on shot, it's probably the best bet of the off-season.
Super Bowl LV will take place on February 7th, wrapping up the 101st season in the NFL. Keep an eye on the odds as the season progresses, and may the best team win!
