The New Orleans Saints are serious Super Bowl contenders. They currently own the first seed in the projected NFC playoff picture, ahead of competitors like the Seattle Seahawks, Green Bay Packers, and San Francisco 49ers. And the Saints have built around a strong, young core that’s won 36 of their last 48 games, logging plenty of playoffs experience with four postseason games the last two years. Of course oddsmakers like their chances, especially if New Orleans can hold onto that top seed.
Per the latest Super Bowl odds from BetMGM, just two teams have better chances of going all the way than the Saints (at +500): the New England Patriots (+350) and Baltimore Ravens (+260). New Orleans is the odds-on favorite in the NFC. Here is how the top ten shakes out:
- Baltimore Ravens, +260
- New England Patriots, +350
- New Orleans Saints, +500
- San Francisco 49ers, +700
- Seattle Seahawks, +900
- Kansas City Chiefs, +1000
- Green Bay Packers, +1400
- Houston Texans, +2200
- Dallas Cowboys, +2800
- Minnesota Vikings, +2800
That’s a clear edge for the Saints in a crowded field of Super Bowl contenders, and bettors probably love to see it. There’s just four weeks left in the regular season, and then things get very interesting, very quickly. As the Saints know very well, the playoffs are a whole new ballgame.
