New Super Bowl Favorite Emerges After Week 13 NFL Chaos
The 49ers dominated the Eagles in a Week 13 matchup, winning 42–19 in the NFC Championship rematch.
This win helped San Francisco leap ahead in the Super Bowl odds. The 49ers now hold +333 odds to win the title in February, according to SI Sportsbook. Before Sunday’s win, the 49ers were tied alongside the reigning champion Chiefs and the reigning runners-up Eagles for the best odds to win the Lombardi Trophy. Kansas City has +500 odds, followed by Philadelphia with +550 odds.
