Super Bowl LVI Odds: Steelers, Raiders, Eagles Start 2022 Playoffs With Little Chance To Win Title

The 2022 NFL playoffs are considered to be somewhat wide open, but it would still be surprising to see a handful of teams go on a championship run. Some of the underdogs on Wild-Card Weekend are given little chance to win Super Bowl LVI.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are the biggest long shots in the 14-team field, starting the playoffs with 90/1 odds to win the Super Bowl, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Neither the Las Vegas Raiders nor Philadelphia Eagles is viewed as much of a title threat with 60/1 odds apiece.

No other playoff team has worse than 25/1 Super Bowl odds.

It was only a few days ago that it looked like Pittsburgh would miss the postseason entirely. The Steelers made the playoffs because the Indianapolis Colts were beaten by the Jacksonville Jaguars in arguably the season’s biggest upset.

Pittsburgh is a long shot just to get out of the first round with the worst offense in the playoffs at 20.2 points per game. The Steelers visit the Kansas CIty Chiefs on Sunday and are the only double-digit underdogs on Wild-Card Weekend. Kansas City dismantled Pittsburgh in a 36-10 blowout on Dec. 26.

Philadelphia has the worst record of any playoff team after a 9-8 season. The Eagles are 8.5-point underdogs for their wild-card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs beat the Eagles 28-22 in Week 6.

If Philadelphia manages to upset the defending champs in the wild-card round, the team must go to Lambeau Field in the divisional round and face the No. 1 seed Green Bay Packers. They are the betting favorite to win the Super Bowl (+380), followed by the Chiefs (+450), Bucs (+800), Buffalo Bills (+800) and the AFC's top-seeded Tennessee Titans (+850).

Las Vegas earned the No. 5 seed in the AFC with a 10-7 record and a four-game winning streak to end the regular-season. The Raiders and their wild-card opponent, the Cincinnati Bengals, share the same record. Still, the betting markets don’t have much faith in the Raiders, who last won a playoff game 19 years ago.

In Week 11, the Bengals beat the Raiders 32-13 on the road. Las Vegas was outscored by 65 points in the regular season, which ranks worst among all playoff teams.

The Arizona Cardinals have the fourth-worst Super Bowl odds at 25/1. The New England Patriots start the playoffs with 22/1 title odds. The San Francisco 49ers have 20/1 odds to win the championship.
