The NFL playoff bracket is set with five weeks to go before the Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on February 9.
The Kansas City Chiefs are looking for their third straight title but can make a compelling case for several teams to win it all.
The NFL playoffs begin this weekend, with the Chiefs and Detroit Lions receiving first-round byes. Not surprisingly, those two teams lead the way in FanDuel’s odds table.

Detroit Lions could end 95-year Super Bowl drought
The Detroit Lions lead the pack and have a great chance at breaking a Super Bowl drought that stretches back 95 years. They haven’t even played in the championship game since 1958, the longest streak among all NFL teams.
Led by intense head coach Dan Campbell and an offence that can put points up in multiple ways, the Lions only lost two games during the regular season. They made easy work against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18 to claim the NFC title, winning 31-9 against another top contender.
The odds suggest a Lions-Chiefs Super Bowl may be in the cards. While the Chiefs didn’t look like their dominant selves for much of this season, they still managed to win games, and no one wants to go against Patrick Mahomes with the game on the line. A battle between those two teams would surely be an exciting matchup, although some other squads will not go down easily.
