The NFL playoffs have moved on to the final four.
Fourteen teams entered the NFL postseason two weeks ago. Six were eliminated in the wild-card round. Four more were knocked out in the divisional round over the weekend. With the conference championships set, the latest odds are out for the Super Bowl 58 champion.
Unsurprisingly, the two teams that hold the No. 1 seed in their respective conferences, the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens, lead the way. It will be up to the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs, respectively, to pull of a road upset with a Super Bowl appearance on the line.
Here's where all four remaining teams rank based on their Super Bowl 58 odds as of Monday morning, courtesy of BetMGM.

4. Detroit Lions (+700)
Previously: 5 (+900)
Can it be a Cinderella run for a team that won 12 regular season games? Detroit is the biggest feel-good team of these playoffs after a 31-23 divisional round win over Tampa Bay. Lions quarterback Jared Goff out-dueled Buccaneers signal-caller Baker Mayfield in an exciting clash between the two former No. 1 picks.
3. Kansas City Chiefs (+350)
Previously: 4 (+700)
For the third time in four years, the Chiefs ended the Bills' Super Bowl hopes in the playoffs. For the sixth time in six years, Kansas City is back in the AFC Championship game. Since taking over as the Chiefs' starter in 2018, quarterback Patrick Mahomes has still never ended a season without a divisional round win.
2. Baltimore Ravens (+200)
Previously: 2 (+275)
Baltimore overcame a bit of a rocky start to beat rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans, 34-10. Ravens quarterback and likely NFL MVP Lamar Jackson finished with 152 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, 100 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.
1. San Francisco 49ers (+145)
Previously: 1 (+175)
It took a fourth-quarter comeback against the NFC's bottom seed, but the 49ers are on the doorstep of the Super Bowl for a second season in a row. Running back Christian McCaffrey gashed the Packers' defense for 98 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries (5.8 yards per carry). It's worth noting San Francisco may be without standout receiver Deebo Samuel, who left the divisional round game early with a shoulder injury.
