There is only one week left in the 2019 NFL regular season, which means the playoffs, and ultimately Super Bowl 54, are just around the corner.
A handful of teams have separated themselves from the pack in the race for the Lombardi Trophy. But as we all know, only two teams will make the trip to Miami to battle it out on the biggest stage in American professional sports.
A lot can (and will) happen over the next couple of weeks that will change things, but as of today, here are the most likely matchups for Super Bowl 54, according to the oddsmakers in Las Vegas.
Odds courtesy of Sportsbook.ag as of December 27, 2019.
Green Bay Packers vs. Baltimore Ravens (+725)
The Packers have re-emerged as legitimate title contenders under first-year head coach Matt LaFleur. And as we all know, Aaron Rodgers is capable of single-handedly carrying the Pack to victories.
On the other side, Lamar Jackson has been the best player in the league this year, hands down.
Both teams will have to pass multiple tests to reach Miami, but if this scenario plays out, football fans will be in for a treat.
New Orleans Saints vs. Baltimore Ravens (+600)
The Ravens have looked like the unquestioned best team in the NFL for the last two months. Likewise, the Saints have made a strong case throughout the year for being considered the most complete team in the league.
This potential matchup would be highly entertaining and surely would provide plenty of fireworks.
San Francisco 49ers vs. Baltimore Ravens (+450)
The 49ers and Ravens met in Week 13 with Baltimore prevailing 20-17. As the final score from their previous meeting indicates, these teams are fairly evenly matched.
Additionally, out of all of the teams that will qualify for the postseason, the Niners are likely the most well-equipped to slow down Jackson.
Other notables:
- San Francisco 49ers vs. New England Patriots (+1050)
- San Francisco 49ers vs. Kansas City Chiefs (+1150)
- Green Bay Packers vs. New England Patriots (+1350)
- Seattle Seahawks vs. Baltimore Ravens (+1350)
- New Orleans Saints vs. New England Patriots (+1600)
