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.

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.
