The Athletic has live coverage of Eagles vs. Bills in Week 12 action
There’s a three-way tie for the favorite to win Super Bowl LVIII as we move past the midpoint of the NFL regular season, according to BetMGM. Here’s what you need to know:
- The Kansas City Chiefs, the Philadelphia Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers are tied atop the leaderboard at +450 as of Tuesday morning.
- The Eagles knocked off the Chiefs on Monday in a rematch of last year’s Super Bowl. The 49ers have won two games in a row, the latest coming against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
- The Baltimore Ravens and the Miami Dolphins fall in at +900. The Dallas Cowboys sit at +1000, while the Detroit Lions are +1100.
Here’s a look at the latest Super Bowl odds (these are live odds so they will move accordingly):
Who’s your pick outside the top 3?
First, I’m a little surprised the Chiefs remained atop the leaderboard. I expected a slight dip from them in these odds. Still, they’re the rightful favorite to win the AFC despite last night’s sloppy performance.
As for anyone outside the top three teams, am I crazy to ponder the Lions? I almost give them credit for being the team not to know any better and could make a push in the postseason. The Cowboys have been playing great lately, but I’m in “see it to believe it” mode in the playoffs until they actually move deeper. I still don’t trust the Dolphins against stiff competition. And I’m shaking on the Ravens after they lost tight end Mark Andrews to injury.
But I’d put the Lions and then the Ravens as teams I’d believe in outside the obvious top three contenders. — Larry Holder, NFL senior writer
