The San Francisco 49ers, the champions of the NFC West and top seed in the conference, enter as league favorite to win the 2024 Super Bowl when the NFL's 14-team postseason begins Saturday with the six-game wild-card round.
The odds for the field range from for the 49ers up to for the longest shot on the board, the AFC's seventh-seeded Pittsburgh Steelers.
However, bettors shouldn't disregard wild-card teams. Over the previous 16 seasons, there have been four Super Bowl champions who didn't win their division and were seeded fifth or lower. The last was NFC No. 5 seed Tampa Bay three seasons ago.

Super Bowl 58 odds for AFC playoff picture
Here's a look at the championship chances for each team, starting with the AFC and in order of seeding.
Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl 58 odds ()
The Ravens (13-4), led by presumptive MVP Lamar Jackson at quarterback, didn't just win a lot of games this season but romped five in the postseason field by 14 or more points.
Their scoring margin of +203 is the best in the league since 2019, when the Ravens had a +249 differential in Jackson's first MVP season.
The Ravens have also thrived defensively, ranking sixth in the league and helping to generate 31 takeaways, tied for most in the league.

Buffalo Bills Super Bowl 2024 odds ()
No team was hotter down the stretch than the Bills (11-6), who won their final five games to beat out Miami for the AFC East title on Sunday night.
And no team among the 14 in the field had a better record against playoff teams than Buffalo, which went 5-1.
If the Bills have a weakness, it's the sometimes-reckless play of QB Josh Allen. In that clincher over the Dolphins, he threw INTs from the Miami 5 and 35 on back-to-back series to open the game. But he still is a dynamic threat with his arm and running.

No. 3 Kansas City Chiefs' odds to win Super Bowl 2024 ()
The Chiefs (11-6), who didn't clinch their eighth straight division title until the next to last week of the regular season, enter the postseason with their worst seed since 2017 when they were fourth.
Kansas City's defense has been the headliner for a change, with its 57 sacks second most in the league.
Unlike the past five seasons, though, when the AFC title game was played in KC's Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs could easily have to go through Buffalo and then Baltimore on the way to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl.
No. 4 Houston Texans Super Bowl 2024 odds ()
The 10-7 Texans, coming off last year's 3-13-1 season, are this year's Cinderella story behind a pair of rookies -- head coach DeMeco Ryans and QB C.J. Stroud. It marks the fifth time since the merger in 1970 that such a rookie combination reached the postseason.
But hindering the team's chances are injuries to three of its top four wide receivers and having to open the playoffs against a Cleveland team that battered it on Christmas Eve 36-22. It was 36-7 before Houston scored two cosmetic TDs late.

No. 5 Cleveland Browns Super Bowl 58 odds ()
Of the 14 teams that made the playoffs, 11 had their No. 1 quarterback start in each game, but the Browns (11-6) weren't one of them.
They used five starters, which tied an NFL record for most at the position in one season. But the one they settled on late in the season, Joe Flacco, guided Cleveland on a four-game winning streak.
The team's No.1-ranked defense deserves much of the credit.
How's this for irony: In 1964, when Cleveland last won the NFL title, the Browns entered the championship game against the Baltimore Colts with the league's worst-ranked defense. Cleveland not only prevailed but shut out the Colts' top-ranked offense.
No. 6 Miami Dolphins' odds to win Super Bowl 2024 ()
The 11-6 Dolphins, who held a three-game lead over Buffalo five weeks ago, must get the adrenaline rushing behind QB Tua Tagovailoa again to make a run at their first NFL title in 50 years.
And then there's this: On Saturday night, the Dolphins will play the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs at Arrowhead. In a night game. The early forecast calls for temperatures around zero.
No. 7 Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl 58 odds ()
The 10-7 Steelers, who currently are being led by their third-string QB, Mason Rudolph, have been outgained on average by 37.8 yards per game. The last team to finish with a mark worse than that was Pittsburgh two years before when they finished at minus 45.7.
Even if QB Kenny Pickett regains his QB job after ankle surgery, the Steelers look one-and-done, especially without sack leader T.J. Watt out (knee).

Super Bowl 58 odds for NFC playoff teams
No. 1 San Francisco 49ers Super Bowl 58 odds ()
For the first time since 2019, the 49ers (12-5) are the top seed in the NFC and have a first-round bye.
Brock Purdy, who was injured early in last year's NFC title game loss in Philadelphia (shoulder), has gone the whole way in 2023 (excluding last week's absence to rest) and finished atop the passer-rating chart with the best rate (113.0) the past four years.
Although the 49ers were bashed by Baltimore two weeks ago, 33-19, they don't lack confidence, having already defeated No. 2 NFC seed Dallas 42-10.
If RB Christian McCaffrey doesn't fully recover from his recent minor calf issue, their confidence could drop a notch.
No. 2 Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl 2024 odds ()
The Cowboys (13-4), who have won 16 straight home games dating to last year, will be guaranteed at least two home playoff games after rallying from a 2.5-game deficit to overtake Philadelphia for the NFC East crown.
QB Dak Prescott led the offense with 36 TD passes and only nine interceptions. He's been extra effective at home with 22 scoring throws.
And WR CeeDee Lamb has been sensational. He was the runaway NFL leader with 135 receptions and 12 TD catches.
However, the Cowboys have injury concerns along the offensive line that could derail them. Last week, both starting guards were out.
No. 3 Detroit Lions' odds to win Super Bowl 2024 ()
Midway into the 2021 season, the Lions were 0-10-1 but have gone on to earn their first division title since 1993. The 12-5 Lions are a real threat to win the NFC behind its powerful offense.
But horrors!
While holding out remote hope of gaining the No. 2 seed in the playoff field Sunday, star rookie Sam LaPorta, who leads all tight ends with 10 TD catches, suffered a significant knee injury in last week's game.
No. 4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl 2024 odds ()
Although the Bucs won five of six games to close out the regular season with a 9-8 mark, they were hardly impressive offensively in a Week 17 home loss to New Orleans 23-13 and last week's division-clinching triumph at Carolina 9-0. Its only two TDs came in the final four minutes of the Saints' rout.
They also are the only playoff team in the past two years to be ranked in the bottom 10 in total offense and defense. Tampa is a home underdog in its playoff opener against the nose-diving Eagles ().

No. 5 Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl 58 odds ()
No team had a better start through 11 games than the Eagles at 10-1, but no team in the tournament has had as dismal a final six-game stretch as Philly's. Their 1-5 mark included a defensive run that allowed a league-worst 30.3 points that span. Now 11-6 and coming off a horrible loss to the Giants, the Eagles appear vulnerable.
What's working against their chances is having to play on Monday in the wild-card round and then having a short week before the divisional round if they advance. Their journey could involve traveling across the country to face a San Francisco team coming off a bye.
No. 6 Los Angeles Rams' odds to win Super Bowl 2024 ()
The 10-7 Rams were 3-6 when they entered their bye week, and their Super Bowl odds had ballooned to +25000. Since then, the Rams have gone 7-1. Even their defeat was worth bragging about since they went to Baltimore and took the Ravens to overtime before losing on a punt return.
The playoff bracket doesn't set up well for the Rams, though. In the wild-card round, they must travel east across three time zones for the third time in six weeks.
No. 7 Green Bay Packers Super Bowl 58 odds ()
The Packers (9-8) enter the tournament with the worst record among the 14 qualifiers, but have suddenly become relevant in the Super Bowl chase thanks to QB Jordan Love's improvement.
Over the past eight weeks, Love, in his first year as the team's starter after the departure of Aaron Rodgers, has thrown 18 TD passes with only one interception. With RB Aaron Jones carrying the run game, the Packers might be worth a fun long-shot wager.
