DETROIT – The Detroit Lions are the most popular pick to go to the Super Bowl from the NFC, according to BetMGM.
NBC Sports reports more than 36% of the bets placed at BetMGM on the 2023-2024 NFC champion have the Lions coming out on top. More than 34% of the total money placed on the NFC winner has been placed on the Lions, BetMGM reports.
As a result, the Lions’ odds of winning the NFC have shifted from +1100 to +850.
At +260 on BetMGM, the Philadelphia Eagles are the betting favorites to win the NFC after doing so last season. Only 13% of the tickets and 11.8% of the total money placed on the NFC winner have favored the Eagles.
No team outside of the Lions and Eagles has more than 10% of the bets to win the NFC, BetMGM said.
The Lions have never had more hype coming into a season, and they’re hoping to ride that to the first Super Bowl in franchise history.
