2024 Super Bowl odds: Ravens closing gap on 49ers
Super Bowl odds are on the move again as both the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens won in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs this weekend.
Can any team stop the 49ers and Ravens from facing off in the Super Bowl?
It appears possible if Saturday was any indication of San Francisco’s form.

Although it beat Green Bay, S.F. did it barely, winning 24-21 after scoring a game-winning touchdown with just over a minute left in the game.
The Niners also played without star wideout Deebo Samuel, who left the game in the first quarter with a shoulder injury.
His status for the NFC Championship Game is in question.
The Detroit Lions saw their odds move to +700 from +1000 after beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
The odds for the Kansas City Chiefs shortened to +400 from +850 after beating the favored Buffalo Bills on Sunday night.
Let’s look at the updated title odds betting board.

*odds as of 1/22/2024
FOX Sports’ Skip Bayless took to Twitter for most of Saturday night to share his feelings on the Niners’ win over Green Bay, and in his eyes, the Packers lost the game as opposed to San Francisco winning it.
And with that, Bayless sees San Francisco and Baltimore emerging victorious in their respective conference title games, and even reiterated his Super Bowl pick.
After the nailbiter of a game, FOX Sports gambling analyst Geoff Schwartzput the Niners’ win in perspective.
“A win is a win. In the playoffs, it doesn’t matter how you get it done. Survive and advance — with an emphasis on survival for the 49ers on Saturday night. Credit the Packers for playing well, but the 49ers came one minute away from an epic choke job. It was a loss that would have followed quarterback Brock Purdy and head coach Kyle Shanahan their entire careers until they win a Super Bowl.”
As for Baltimore, Schwartz was much more complimentary of Lamar Jackson & Co.
“The Ravens defense was fantastic on Saturday afternoon. It did not allow a touchdown and made quarterback C.J. Stroud uncomfortable all day, as it forced the Texans into repeated third-and-long situations. The Texans rushed for a total of 38 yards, which allowed the Ravens defense to heat up Stroud in obvious passing situations. By the final whistle, this was an all-around butt-kicking by the Ravens. That is how Super Bowl teams make a statement.”
