Sunday's Week 14 NFL games kick off at 1 p.m. ET time with most teams from both conferences still in the playoff hunt, and with dreams of winning Super Bowl LII at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

Technically, there are 15 AFC teams still alive and 13 in the NFC, but both conferences have 12 teams that are reasonably in contention for one of six conference playoff berths. Teams like the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals — all with 5-7 records in the AFC — look like huge longshots. The same can be said for the Washington Redskins and Arizona Cardinals, who both need to win the rest of their remaining games and get some help to earn a playoff berth.

The New England Patriots (10-2) remain the favorites to win the Super Bowl, according to betting site Bovada. The defending champions have a +250 chance to capture their sixth Super Bowl in the Bill Belichick-Tom Brady era.

Oddsmakers list the Pittsburgh Steelers (+450), Philadelphia Eagles (+625) and the Minnesota Vikings (+850) as the Patriots' strongest competition. The Patriots and Steelers met in the AFC Championship, with New England prevailing, 36-17.

There are plenty of interesting storylines with the season winding down. Green Bay Packers' (6-6) quarterback Aaron Rodgers could return in Week 15 to lead a playoff push after breaking his right collarbone in Week 6 against the Vikings. The AFC West has three teams with a 6-6 record competing to win the division title. The NFC South has three teams with a very good shot at earning a playoff berth.

The Baltimore Ravens are among the most intriguing teams in the NFL. John Harbaugh's squad had looked like they were out of contention after a 23-20 loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 9, but have won three consecutive games and have a very good shot at earning a wild-card berth. With a 7-5 record, Baltimore faces the Steelers (10-2) on Sunday, but then take on the hapless Cleveland Browns and the struggling Indianapolis Colts and Bengals to end the season.

Some of the top Sunday games include the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Los Angeles Rams, the Oakland Raiders vs. Kansas City Chiefs and the Seattle Seahawks vs. Jacksonville Jaguars.
