The 2023 postseason's first round saw a significant amount of suspense and games with high-scoring outcomes. The only underdog to triumph away from home in the wild-card round was the New York Giants.
The Philadelphia Eagles, who are the NFC's top seed, will now be the Giants' opponent in the next round. Against the AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs, the Jacksonville Jaguars will try to use their mojo again.
The team predicted to win the Super Bowl changes throughout the season owing to various circumstances. With 24 teams out, there was a substantial shift in the odds of winning the Super Bowl. Let's look at the club with the best chance of winning the Super Bowl.
The San Francisco 49ers are the NFC team with the highest chance of winning, but the Kansas City Chiefs entered the postseason as the clear frontrunner to capture the Super Bowl. The Chiefs are still considered the favorites following NFL Wild Card Weekend.
The Chiefs are considered a team with great prospects to win the Lombardi next month, even though there are still eight postseason contenders. It is easy to understand why, given that they have previously achieved success with this collective.
With a record of 14-3, Kansas City won the AFC West. Remarkably, Eagles had the same record in the regular season as well. With that, the Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles knotted for the league's best mark.
Patrick Mahomes hasn't shown any signs of slowing down at all since the team lost Tyreek Hill. In fact, the 27-year-old is about to claim his second NFL MVP title. The Kansas City Chiefs have clinched the AFC West, winning the title for the seventh time in a row. Since they received the top seed and home-ground advantage in the AFC, they will also enjoy the simplest path to the Super Bowl.
Home-ground advantage can be important during the playoffs; the home teams won five of the six matchups during the Wild Card Round, but the last time a No. 1 seed won the Super Bowl was in Super Bowl 52.
What should we expect from the Chiefs against the Jaguars?
The Jacksonville Jaguars are a much more distinct group than they were when they first faced the Chiefs during the regular season. The Jaguars have been on a 7-1 good track since that contest, which has led to their return to Kansas City for this coming weekend's AFC Divisional Round.
In their previous encounter, Mahomes quickly took control of the Jaguars' secondary. With four scores, 331 passing yards, and a 74.3% completion rate, he recorded his third-highest quarterback rating (129.6) of the season despite throwing one interception.
In the end, the Chiefs have some of the NFL's top players, and their strengths in the trenches will increase their likelihood of success. The squad is predicted to romp to a resounding victory following a bye week, securing their fifth straight run to an AFC Championship Game.
