They needed a final-minute touchdown and a missed field goal by their opponent, but the result still saw the San Francisco 49ers power into the NFC Championship Game. And with the divisional round of the NFL Playoffs now in the rearview mirror, the NFC’s top seed remains the overall odds favorite to win Super Bowl LVIII.

The latest Super Bowl odds have the 49ers as +145 favorites to claim the Feb. 11 NFL championship game in Las Vegas. The AFC top seed Baltimore Ravens are the No. 2 odds choice exiting divisional weekend at +200, while the Kansas City Chiefs are third at +350 and the Detroit Lions have +750 odds of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy following the big game.

Ravens, Niners Favored in Title Tilts 

The Ravens are 3-point home favorites over the Chiefs in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game, according to NFL betting apps, while the 49ers are 6.5-point favorites over the visiting Lions. Kansas City is riding the best current cover streak, having beaten the spread in four straight, while Baltimore has covered in four of its last five. Detroit has covered in five of its last six outings, while the 49ers have beaten the spread in just one of their last four games.

Should both top seeds advance, the Super Bowl would be a rematch of a Christmas Day regular-season game in which the Ravens beat the 49ers 33-19 in Santa Clara. San Francisco would be a 1.5-point favorite in the title game in Las Vegas, according to Super Bowl betting sites.

Super Market of Prop Bets & Promos 

The odds for Sunday’s conference championship games offer just a hint of what’s to come for the Super Bowl, the most bet-on single sports event in the United States every year. A wagering hallmark of the NFL’s title tilt are the countless available Super Bowl prop bets, which promise to cover everything from the action on the field to the coin flip and the color of the Gatorade dumped on the winning coach.

Bettors can also look for Super Bowl betting promos, most of which offer first-time users bonus bets they can use to wager on the big game. And there’s no limit to the number of promos you can claim—if you’re 21 or over and the promo is available in your state, it’s there for the taking.

The ins and outs of how to bet on the Super Bowl, though, remain a week away. The focus now remains on the NFL’s championship Sunday – and the Super Bowl favorite 49ers, who despite reaching the conference championship game or the Super Bowl seven times since 2011, are still seeking their first Lombardi Trophy since 1994.
