The NFL playoffs are slowly approaching. In fact, some teams have already booked their tickets.
Did you guess that the defending champion Chiefs are already on board?
Joining them as a sure-fire playoff berth is one of their AFC rivals, the Bills. The remaining areas are in flux.
Now it’s time to take a look at which teams will advance to the final weekend and play in Super Bowl LIX. Check out the odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of December 4th.
Odds for NFC conference winner:
Lions: +150 (stake $10 and win $25 total)
Eagles: +240 (bet $10, win $34 total)
Packers: +700 (bet $10 to win $80 total)
Vikings: +800 (bet $10 to win $90 total)
Buccaneers: +2200 (bet $10 and win $230 total)

Big picture: The NFC is in first place, with the Lions (11-1) just one game ahead of Philadelphia (10-2) and Minnesota (10-2), and the Packers (9-3) behind them. Masu. Can Detroit maintain the top seed? They have five games remaining, at home against Green Bay, Buffalo and Minnesota, and on the road against San Francisco and Chicago. Meanwhile, the Eagles have Carolina, Pittsburgh, Dallas and the Giants at home, and Washington on the road. Minnesota has Atlanta, Chicago and Green Bay at home and Seattle and Detroit on the road. This is your chance to get the top seed that will determine your path to the Super Bowl.

AFC conference winner odds:
Chiefs: +215 (Bet $10 and win $31.50 total)
Banknotes: +215 (stake $10 and win $31.50 total)
Ravens: +450 (bet $10 to win $55 total)

Broncos: +1600 (bet $10 and win $170 total)
Big picture: As is customary every year, all eyes will be on the AFC to see who can defeat Kansas City, winners of four of the last five AFC title games. At 11-1, the Chiefs are once again in first place in the conference, but there are some kinks in their armor. Their 11 wins have been by a total of 63 points (5.7 points per game). Nine of those wins were by seven points or less. And the only loss came at the hands of Buffalo. Buffalo has won 10 games and is outscored by 15.9 points per game. As always, Baltimore will be a threat, and Pittsburgh appears to be on the rise behind Russell Wilson.
