NFL playoff power rankings: Ranking all 14 teams remaining based on their Super Bowl odds

The NFL Playoffs kick off this Saturday. Fourteen teams remain, looking to secure a Super Bowl victory. With so many teams knocked out of contention, many fans have been left scratching their heads, wondering which team they should back before the postseason starts.

There are several factors that could play into this decision: rivalries, proximity, friends and family. However, the best reason to support any team in these playoffs is because you think they are going to win it all. It's always a great feeling to back the team that hoists the championship trophy, but which teams are most likely to do so?

Here is every remaining team ranked based on their Super Bowl 58 odds, as of Monday evening. Odds courtesy of BetMGM.

14) Pittsburgh Steelers (+12500)

It's no wonder the Steelers rank this low. The team in on their third-string quarterback. Their defense just lost their world-class pass rusher, T.J. Watt. They barely snuck into the playoffs by the hair on their chinny-chin-chins. A 10-7 record and a date with the Buffalo Bills does not stoke much confidence in sports bettors.

13) Green Bay Packers (+8000)

These odds are surprisingly low for a team that has been hot as of late. They've won three straight heading into the playoffs and have been able to take down serious contenders like the Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions throughout the season. If Jordan Love and Aaron Jones can get hot, this could be a trap game for a heavily favored Cowboys team in the wild card round.

12) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+6600)

Baker Mayfield proved everyone wrong in 2023. The Buccaneers were expected to be one of the worst teams in the NFL this season, set to compete for the first overall pick. Instead, they won their division and will host a playoff game. Obviously, the 9-8 record isn't great, but the Bucs have won five of their last six heading into the playoffs and boast a solid passing attack with Mayfield, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and halfback Rachaad White.

11) Los Angeles Rams (+5000)

Another team nobody expected to see here, the Los Angeles Rams blew everyone away with a solid offense headlined by breakout running back Kyren Williams and standout rookie receiver Puka Nacua. The Rams were locked into the NFC's sixth seed prior to Week 18 but were able to gain some momentum in the final week of the regular season with a win over division rival San Francisco.

10) Houston Texans (+4000)

A massive victory over Indianapolis ensured Houston's trip to the postseason. After the Jacksonville Jaguars fell to the Tennessee Titans as well though, the Texans secured their first division championship since 2019. The Texans have never reached a conference championship game in their franchise's history. Perhaps Offensive Rookie of the Year frontrunner C.J. Stroud is exactly the man to lead them there.

9) Cleveland Browns (+3300)

Led by a shutdown defense and the remarkable resurgence of Joe Flacco, the Cleveland Browns are a team that will surprise you at every turn. Many people believed the team was done for after they lost both star running back Nick Chubb and starting quarterback Deshaun Watson. They kept on rolling though. Head coach Kevin Stefanski is the frontrunner for Coach of the Year for good reason.

8) Detroit Lions (+2000)

The Detroit Lions were a boneheaded referee decision away from having a 13-4 record, which would've given the Lions a first-round bye. If any team can recover from such a tough defeat though, it's Dan Campbell's boys. The Lions will rely on a spectacular rushing attack and the star power of Amon-Ra St. Brown to carry them through the postseason. The team may have suffered a devastating setback when rookie tight end Sam LaPorta injured his knee in Week 18. However, Campbell told reporters on Monday that LaPorta has an "outside chance" of playing in the wild card round. His presence would give a massive boost to the Lions' offense.

7) Miami Dolphins (+1600)

Boasting one of the most explosive offenses we've ever seen, the Miami Dolphins lost the AFC East title with a loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 18. Despite their misfortune in the final week, the Dolphins are capable of keeping up with the best teams in the league. They might be the scariest sixth seed of all-time.

6) Philadelphia Eagles (+1300)

After a promising start to the season, the Philadelphia Eagles fell off at the end of the year, losing four of their last six games, including a humiliating loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17 that guaranteed they would not claim the NFC's top seed. Despite their subpar play as of late, the Eagles are the reigning NFC champions. If anyone in this conference knows what it takes to get to a Super Bowl, it's Philly.

5) Kansas City Chiefs (+900)

Much like the Eagles, the Chiefs did not display a devastating offense that we'd come accustomed to know toward the end of the year, relying much more on their strong defense to win ball games. All-Pro quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his favorite target tight end Travis Kelce each had the worst seasons of their careers. If Kansas City carries this lack of momentum into the playoffs, they won't last long, but there is a reason the Chiefs have been dominant for so long. They know what it takes to win in the most pivotal moments.

4) Dallas Cowboys (+750)

The Cowboys have one of the best offenses and defenses in the NFL this year. Quarterback Dak Prescott was an MVP candidate for most of the season. Receiver CeeDee Lamb was arguably the best receiver in the NFC. DaRon Bland stepped in for the injured Trevon Diggs to record the most pick-sixes in a single season of all-time. However, the Cowboys struggled mightily against teams with a winning record this year, going just 4-5 against teams that finished the season over .500, and one of those wins was against the nine-win Seattle Seahawks. That could be Dallas's downfall.

3) Buffalo Bills (+650)

The Bills are getting hot at just the right time. Although quarterback Josh Allen was second in the the NFL with 22 turnovers, he was still a dynamic playmaker who led his team to victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 18 to secure the AFC's second seed.

2) Baltimore Ravens (+325)

The Ravens are at the top of everyone's power rankings, but they do not have the best odds of winning the Super Bowl. Despite having beaten the San Francisco 49ers during the regular season while forcing 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy to throw four interceptions, the Ravens have a much more loaded conference to get through before they can even have a shot at the Super Bowl. Should the Ravens get there, they should have a great shot at winning, since quarterback Lamar Jackson is 20-3 against the NFC in his career, including five wins this season. If you don't consistently see Lamar Jackson, it's difficult to figure out how to limit his impact.

1) San Francisco 49ers (+225)

The San Francisco 49ers fell down several people's power rankings boards after their 33-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but they do have some incredible wins on their resume including 20-plus point victories over both the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys. The 49ers have more star power than any other team in the NFL, but the biggest question is whether or not the team can count on quarterback Brock Purdy to conduct a game-winning drive when the team needs him to.
