The Kansas City Chiefs enter the final three weeks of the NFL regular season enjoying the league's longest current win streak, and they now lead the way as +450 co-favourites on the Super Bowl 56 Odds at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.
It has been a roller coaster campaign for Kansas City, which opened the season on a middling 4-3 straight-up run before embarking on its current win streak. And the Chiefs have emerged as a reliable wager at sports betting sites during their current surge.
The defending AFC champions are now currently unbeaten against the spread in five straight after covering in just two of their first nine outings. Much of that success is attributable to a stingy defence that has limited opponents to just 13.3 points per game during their 7-0 SU run, and to single-digit point totals on four occasions over that stretch.
A prolific offence has been key to the Green Bay Packers' climb to strong +450 co-favourites on the latest Super Bowl odds. Heading into the week as the NFC's top seed, the Packers have averaged an impressive 35.8 points per game over their past four outings. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers connected on 13 total scoring passes during that stretch despite being hobbled by a nagging toe injury, and he now leads the way at +125 to repeat as NFL MVP.
Further down the Super Bowl odds, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers sit at +600, with the New England Patriots at +900, and the Los Angeles Rams at +950 on those NFL odds.
The Buccaneers return to action this weekend with a lot to prove after suffering a stunning 9-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 15. In addition to denying the Buccaneers their first NFC South title in 14 years, the loss dealt a blow to Tom Brady's MVP hopes. Prior to last Sunday's defeat, Brady had rocketed to the top of the MVP odds while leading Tampa Bay to four straight wins. Tampa Bay is also dealing with multiple injuries to key offensive players.
The Rams have pulled even with the Arizona Cardinals atop the NFC West during their current three-game win streak. Meanwhile, the Patriots have exceeded expectations while returning to contention with wins in seven of their past eight games. However, the Patriots' grasp on first place in the AFC East and their position on the futures will be on the line this weekend when they play host the Buffalo Bills, who closely trail as a +1250 Super Bowl bet.
