Matthew Stafford and firm have put up back-to-back video games with 500 complete yards and 40 factors and have formally clinched a playoff spot. Talking of Stafford, this man is a monster. He leads the NFL in passing touchdowns (37) and passer score (112.2). Nevertheless, it’s price noting that Davante Adams, who leads the NFL with 14 landing receptions, left the Lions recreation with a hamstring damage.
It is pretty fascinating that the Seahawks presently have the second-shortest odds to win the Tremendous Bowl.

The problems — or perhaps let’s name them inconsistencies — run deeper.

With the Chiefs out of the operating, are the Broncos the authentic favourite within the AFC? Vegas believes it is them, or Josh Allen and the Payments.
What in regards to the NFC North?
Sportsbooks don’t belief the NFC North, as Vegas believes a whopping 12 NFL groups have a greater probability to win the Tremendous Bowl than the present No. 2-seeded Bears. That features the No. 7 seed Packers. Chicago has a troublesome stretch to finish the season, because the Bears host the Packers Saturday evening, play on the 49ers in Week 17 after which end the season at residence in opposition to the determined Lions.
The Bears have recorded double-digit wins for the primary time since 2018 and boast probably the most opportunistic protection within the NFL, which leads the league with 30 takeaways. Nevertheless, Chicago missed a possibility to beat the Packers final week. As we talked about, the Bears get an opportunity at revenge at residence Saturday evening.
