NFL Super Bowl 2024 odds entering Week 16: Eagles stock plummets after loss to Seattle, Bills lurking

We’ve hit the Christmas holiday in the NFL, which means the regular season is just about winding down. There are only three weeks left and the playoff picture is seeing quite a bit of movement as we head down the stretch, which has also sent the latest Super Bowl odds for a loop. 

That said, the San Francisco 49ers remain the favorite to ultimately hoist the Lombardi Trophy in Las Vegas at the end of Super Bowl LVIII, and the positive view from the oddsmakers is only increasing. The Niners are now +215 to win it all after they were listed at +240 heading into Week 15. This increasing belief that San Fran will be the eventual Super Bowl champs has been surging over the past month, in part because of their strong play, but also because no true adversary has revealed themselves yet. Quite the opposite, in fact. 

Arguably their biggest threat when looking at the odds a few weeks ago was the Philadelphia Eagles. At one point, they were co-favorites to win the Super Bowl, but Nick Sirianni’s team has fallen off in recent weeks. They’ve lost three straight, including a gut-wrenching defeat in Week 15 at the hands of Drew Lock, who led the Seahawks on a last-second game-winning drive. Philly held the third-highest Super Bowl odds in the NFL at +750 entering Week 15 and now holds the fifth-best odds at +900. The Dallas Cowboys also saw their stock drop after being blown out by the Bills on Sunday. They sat at +750 entering the week and are now +1000.

This could very well be a Super Bowl preview between the two teams that are the top two betting favorites to win it all. Baltimore is currently the top seed in the AFC and just handled the Jaguars a loss on the road in prime time. Lamar Jackson is playing…
