While 14 teams from all eight divisions made this year’s NFL playoffs, the betting market has a lot of belief behind an NFC West team bringing home the title.

The Seattle Seahawks (+340 on DraftKings, +420 on FanDuel) and Los Angeles Rams (+425, +430) are the teams with the best odds to win Super Bowl LX and hoist the Lombardi Trophy on Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, Calif.

Seattle (14-3) earned the No. 1 seed with a 13-3 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night. The Rams (12-5) are the No. 5 seed in the NFC. The 49ers (12-5), whose stadium will host this year’s Super Bowl, are the No. 6 seed and have the 11th-best odds to win the Super Bowl at +2200 on FanDuel and +2800 on DraftKings.

The Denver Broncos, the No. 1 seed in the AFC with a 14-3 record, have the best odds on that side of the bracket at +650 on both sites.

The New England Patriots (+950 on DraftKings, +1000 on FanDuel), Buffalo Bills (+950, +1000) and the defending-champion Philadelphia Eagles (+1000, +850) round out the top six in odds.

Although the Jacksonville Jaguars (+1400 on DraftKings, +1500 on FanDuel) won the AFC South and will start with a home playoff game, the sportsbooks gave the Houston Texans (+1200, +1100) slightly better odds even though they finished a game back in the division.

The sportsbooks also view NFC North competitors in the Chicago Bears (+2200, +1800) and Green Bay Packers (+2200, +1700) similarly after the pair split the season series and Chicago won the division.

The Carolina Panthers (+15000, +22500) have by far the longest Super Bowl odds after winning a three-way tie in the NFC South with an 8-9 record.

Well ahead of them are the Los Angeles Chargers (+3000 in both) and Pittsburgh Steelers (+5000, +5500), who have the third- and second-longest odds.

As for odds on individual games in the wild-card round, the Rams are 10- to 10.5-point road favorites at the No. 4 seed Panthers (4:30 p.m. ET) and the Packers are 1.5-point road favorites at the Bears (8 p.m. ET) in Saturday action.

On Sunday, the Bills are 1.5-point road favorites at the Jaguars (1 p.m. ET), the Eagles are 3.5-point home favorites against the 49ers (4:30 p.m. ET) and the Patriots are 3.5-point home favorites against the Chargers.

In Monday’s wild-card finale, the Texans, who enter on a nine-game winning streak, are 3- to 3.5-point road favorites over the Steelers.
