Here is the standings of the rest of the playoff teams regarding Super Bowl 56 odds at FanDuel, with Arizona or Los Angeles, their championship aspirations will soon be dashed or heightened:

NFL Power Ranking 2022
1. Green Bay Packers (previous ranking: 1)
The Packers (+370) are given a break in the bye because with the Cowboys loss, they will play the number 6 49ers instead of the two stronger NFC West teams. But Green Bay is also aware San Francisco is a recent enemy in the knockout stages and becomes more dangerous as a third-place team after every big game. However, the Packers are a stronger team overall with Matt LaFleur. They can beat big numbers with Aaron Rodgers, but also comfortably rush into efficiency with Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. Their health and defense are getting a little better this period, as well as experiencing two falls under LaFleur.
2. Kansas City Chiefs (2)
The Chiefs (+400) got off to a slow start but overtook the Steelers as easily as expected. Patrick Mahomes used the game against an overly strong defense to speed his big play with Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce on most high-volume matches. They had a turning point in defence with Jerick McKinnon needing to see a big role with Clyde Edwards-Helaire and injured Darrel Williams, and that worked well, delivering a dash in and on get more explosive. The defense was also solid, not allowing Pittsburgh to continue and making it feel even more pent-up in the last game for Ben Roethlisberger’s final game.
3. Buffalo Bills (5)
The Bills (+500) could have been content to win another tight psychologically defensive battle of attrition against the Patriots. They should have been thrilled to see Josh Allen and the offense that left New England with no immediate opportunity. Things are in full swing with his departure and the runaway Devin Singletary has gone nowhere since emerging as a major factor last month. The defense is locking Sean McDermott and Leslie Frazer at the right moment. Buffalo gets a much-anticipated playoff at Kansas City, trying to build on a breakout regular-season win there.
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4)
The Buccaneers (+550) quickly caught the Eagles with their sane defense making a statement at all levels and methodical offensive behavior rather than outright explosiveness. It’s a good adjustment, since Tom Brady is missing a lot of offensive support skills. Now the question is whether the Bucs need to be without the All-Pro to handle Tristan Wirfs while trying to complete their Super Bowl repeat.
5. Cincinnati Bengals (7)
The Bengals (+1300) clearly defeated the Raiders with a 26-19 scoreline at home, ending their lengthy win-win drought. The score was a lot closer than it actually was, as there were a few short chances in the red area not to turn out to be a goal. Cincinnati didn’t have to break a sweat to make it through Las Vegas and with Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase catching up to where they left off, the young exhilarating team is delivering huge confidence and momentum. for a favorable match against Tennessee.
6. Tennessee Titans (4)
Speaking of the Titans (+850), they slide a bit like objects at rest because the Bills and Bengals have acted impressively as winners in the peer division. The Titans are hoping to get Derrick Henry to bring the attack back to the level of balance and explosiveness it needs. The Titans are AFC’s No 1, but there are questions about how much they can win with physical form as they have some shortcomings defensively, especially against passes with the three teams. Pass strong with the remaining elite QBs on the field to overcome Ryan Tannehill.
7. San Francisco 49ers (10)
The 49ers (+1000) have grown into lovable black horses by the end of the regular season and that makes them so in love with taking down the Cowboys as underdogs. The Rams won the division and the Cardinals came in second, but team 49 is undoubtedly the West’s best bet for the conference championship. Their defense is doing more to support what has become a complete offensive machine for Kyle Shanahan once again. It’s also easier to picture a healthy Niners team in the Super Bowl, passing Green Bay again along the way, having run two years ago.
8. Los Angeles Rams (8)
The Rams (+1100) won a lot thanks to the uniform coaching of Sean McVay, Cooper Kupp always burst into attack and Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey fixed the defence. They need more than their superstars to survive the knockout stages, let alone feel good about their Super Bowl chances. A great place to start is Matthew Stafford reversing his trend with winning teams and shaking off his recent revenue troubles for his long-awaited first playoff win. . A consistently prolific running game with more Cam Akers can also be huge.
