Which team is favourite to win the Super Bowl

As the days tick over, Super Bowl 58 edges ever closer.

Six teams are still standing, hoping it's them that will hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy on February 11.

But which teams have the best chance of winning it all? Here is DAZN's breakdown of the six remaining contenders. 

1 - Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens are the best team in the NFL. They confirmed it during the regular season with a 13-4 record. No team posted a better record than John Harbaugh's side. Moreover, Baltimore had crushing wins over the San Francisco 49ers, Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins. They swatted aside all challengers. 

With a ferocious defense, a superstar quarterback, a Hall of Fame kicker and a head coach with one Super Bowl title already under his belt, the Ravens own all the right ingredients.

The Ravens are the big favourites to win it all, and victory over the Houston Texans on Saturday moves them within one win of reaching the Super Bowl.

2 - San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers have been knocking on the Super Bowl door for several seasons.

They have played and lost in the last two NFC Championship games and have reached the same stage again this season after a comeback win over the Green Bay Packers on Saturday.

Kyle Shanahan's team is a proven side with plenty of playoff experience and world-class talent. Superstars such as Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, Christian McCaffrey and Nick Bosa are some of the best players in the league. Like the Ravens, San Francisco will play their playoff games at home. That makes them favourites to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. 

3 - Buffalo Bills

After battling various on-field and off-field travails, the Buffalo Bills are still standing, just two games away from their first Super Bowl since the mid-90s. The Bills have hit form at the right time; they have won six consecutive games, and quarterback Josh Allen is playing his best football. 

Similarly to San Francisco, the Bills have knocked on the door for several seasons. With a tough defense, a high-powered offense, and a desire to do something special, the Bills are legitimate contenders to go all the way.

4 - Detroit Lions

After winning their first playoff game in three decades, the Detroit Lions are riding a tsunami of emotion and hope.

The Lions are one of the youngest teams left in the playoffs, but Jared Goff's experience, allied with the experience of his Super Bowl runner-up head coach Dan Campbell, could prove pivotal.

Moreover, the Lions will play at least one more game at home. During last Sunday's game against the Rams, the Ford Field crowd hit 133.6 decibels. The Lions are a hungry, fearless team, and they have proven that they are not afraid of the big stage. 

5 - Kansas City Chiefs

The reigning champions are in unchartered territory. If the Chiefs are to make the Super Bowl, they may need to win two road playoff games for the first time in the Patrick Mahomes era.

With concerns over their offense, the Chiefs will need Mahomes at his absolute MVP best to win the Super Bowl this season. 

6 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Bucs won the NFC South with a 9-8 record but inconsistency plagued Tampa all season.

Nevertheless, they comfortably won their Super Wildcard Weekend game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Bucs travel to Ford Field to take on Detroit on Sunday. The Lions won the first matchup between these teams in the regular season. If the Bucs are to win this one, Tampa will need to spring a surprise.
