Super Bowl Odds Wild Card Weekend: Are the Cowboys, Vikings, and Chargers on Upset Alert?

The NFL playoffs start on Wild Card Weekend. The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles earned a first-round bye. There are six games from Saturday through Monday. The latest NFL Super Bowl odds are available.

Cincinnati Bengals are the favorite to win the Super Bowl. Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Chargers are also in the running.

Dallas Cowboys are favored by 2.5 points against 8-9 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Oddsmakers and bettors are backing Tampa to cover. Tom Brady is favored to win. Dallas finished the season with a 12-5 record and a top-five scoring offense and defense. The team's offense has been struggling with turnovers and injuries. Tampa's defense was bad, but the team won't be able to stop Brady. Dallas will advance to play either San Francisco or Philadelphia. If Dallas loses, Mike McCarthy will be fired. He's been the head coach of the Cowboys since 2010.

The Jaguars are a two-point home underdog against the Chargers. The Chargers went 4-1 in their final five games. Of the moneyline wagers, almost 50% of the bets have the Jaguars covering. The teams are evenly matched. Los Angeles will rely on Justin Herbert to overcome an ineffective running game and hope their horrible running defense will do just enough to slow Travis Etienne Jr.

Jacksonville's pass defense will be tested against Mike Williams and Keenan Allen. Darious Williams has been moved to the outside. Herbert's capable of executing but he's struggled to create meaningful plays in key moments in his first three seasons.

The Vikings beat the Giants 27-24 in Week 16. The Vikings have gone 11-0 in one-score games this season. New York led the NFL with 13 coverages this year, whereas Minnesota covered in only seven games. The Giants have the better team, but the gap isn't wide enough to make up for the talent difference. Bettors believe the Vikings will win, while the odds are favoring the New Yorkers to cover. They have more experience on the field.
