It’s Championship Sunday, where two of the remaining teams will make history. Of the finalists, only the Falcons opened the season with Super Bowl odds greater than 10-1. Now that they are just one game away from Super Bowl 51 in Houston, the Falcons are one of the favorites to win it all.
Just like at the beginning of the season, however, the entire NFL is chasing the Patriots. New England has been one of the Vegas favorites all season, and OddsShark.com has the Patriots as the most likely team to finish on top. The Falcons are hosting the NFC Championship for the first time since 2013, and the Falcons are valued at +260. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers will head to Atlanta to try and continue their win streak, and they are priced at +375. The Steelers have had trouble against the Patriots, and they are the longshot at +425 to hoist their seventh Lombardi trophy.
In addition to the winning team, Vegas is also taking bets on the potential Super Bowl matchup heading into Sunday. The two home teams, the Patriots and Falcons, is the most likely scenario at +130. The Packers are riding high and could knock off the Falcons, and a Patriots-Packers matchup is priced at +240. The Steelers against the Falcons is set at +275, and an underdog battle of Steelers-Packers, which would be a rematch of Super Bowl XLV, is listed at +550.
