The Lions and Chiefs are in a tier of their own odds-wise, thanks to their 15-win seasons and accordant first-round byes. But both have nagging concerns that, if you squint hard enough, begin to look a lot like vulnerabilities. Will any of their potential opponents through the postseason be able to capitalize on those vulnerabilities?

That something special is a three-peat, and the Chiefs are in a superb position to make a deep playoff run. With the No. 1 seed in their back pocket, the Chiefs, if everything goes smoothly, will have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs until they play in the Super Bowl.

The Chiefs are underdogs in their three-peat quest. The Lions are the favorites at FanDuel to win Super Bowl 2025, with their +320 odds coming in slightly ahead of the back-to-back champions’ +370 odds.
