The Lions currently have the seventh-best Super Bowl 58 odds (+1200) among all NFL teams. Only the 49ers, Chiefs, Eagles, Dolphins, Ravens, and Cowboys have shorter Super Bowl odds than the Lions entering Week 13. The Lions are 1 of just 8 teams to have shorter than +5000 Super Odds, per DraftKings Sportsbook.

However, history doesn't exactly back the Detroit Lions and their chances to win the Super Bowl. The franchise has never made a Super Bowl appearance, let alone won it. A division title in 2023 would also mark history for the franchise, as they've never technically won the NFC North. Their only division titles came prior to the reorganization of NFL divisions back in 2002, when the NFC Central was disbanded, and the Lions joined the NFC North.

Lions Super Bowl Odds vs. NFC North

The Detroit Lions have by far the best odds to win Super Bowl 58 among any other team in the NFC North at +1200, which indicates a 7.7% chance based on implied probability. The Lions are the only NFC North team whose Super Bowl odds rank inside the top 14 among all NFL teams (Lions odds rank 7th).

The Minnesota Vikings have the 2nd-shortest Super Bowl 58 odds among NFC North teams at +12000. The Vikings have a 6-6 record and had a strong stretch of wins in the middle of the season, but have lost each of their last two games with Joshua Dobbs under center.

The Green Bay Packers (5-6) have the third-shortest Super Bowl 58 odds among NFC North teams at +15000. The Chicago Bears (4-8 record) rank last among NFC North teams with +40000 odds to win Super Bowl 58.
