The Packers are Super Bowl favorites entering Week 18.

The Green Bay Packers enter this weekend’s regular-season finale in a great position. With home-field advantage secured, the Packers know they have next week off. They can also rest as many starters as they wish on Sunday versus the Detroit Lions.

With 13 wins on the board, they have done enough to secure the NFC’s top seed with a game to spare.

With a balanced roster and superstars on either side of the ball, the Packers are currently Super Bowl favorites, according to WynnBET’s latest odds.

The Packers are currently +375 to finally win a championship this season, slightly ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs at +450. The Buffalo Bills (+750), Los Angeles Rams (+825), and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+850) come next.

This team is talented enough to beat any opponent, as we’ve seen throughout the season. Green Bay has victories over the Rams, Arizona Cardinals, Baltimore Ravens, and San Francisco 49ers. Only one of those games was at home.

Green Bay is also a perfect 8-0 at Lambeau Field, the only team in the league to remain undefeated at home. Every playoff game the Packers play prior to the Super Bowl will be at home.

And if Matt LaFleur’s team can reach the Super Bowl, there’s no team in the league they can’t beat in a one-off game.

The Chiefs are the AFC favorites currently. While the Packers did lose to the Chiefs earlier in the season, they did so without Aaron Rodgers. Jordan Love almost led Green Bay to a surprise victory.

That was a while back, though, and to the Chiefs’ credit, they are playing much better football now.

Green Bay has been a strong contender in the past two seasons but fallen short in the NFC Championship Game. If this team can make it back to the NFC title game, it will be at Lambeau Field for the second season in a row.

A great opportunity awaits to finally win another Super Bowl. Can the Packers make it happen?
