The Detroit Lions are experiencing a significant boost in momentum leading up to the upcoming NFL playoff weekend, according to sports betting platform BetVictor Canada. 'Prior to the NFL Playoffs , we anticipated an upset, and that materialized with the Washington Commanders ' victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Florida,' Sam Boswell, spokesperson for BetVictor Canada, shared with Newsweek.
'This outcome has paved the way for the Detroit Lions to potentially advance further in the playoffs, and our supercomputer has projected a 20 percent chance for them to reach the Super Bowl in New Orleans.'The analytical model employed by BetVictor Canada for these predictions incorporates artificial intelligence to delve into various factors, including the 2024 regular season win-loss records, winning streaks, the strength of opposing schedules, and playoff experience. BetVictor Canada currently forecasts the following probabilities for teams to make it to Super Bowl LIX:* Kansas City Chiefs: 25 percent* Detroit Lions: 20 percent* Baltimore Ravens: 18 percent* Philadelphia Eagles: 18 percent* Buffalo Bills: 16 percent* LA Rams: 10 percent* Washington Commanders: 7 percent* Houston Texans: 6 percentInterestingly, BetVictor Canada's supercomputer suggests a 52 percent chance of victory for the Detroit Lions should they face the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, compared to a 48 percent chance for the Chiefs. While the supercomputer grants the Chiefs a 30 percent likelihood of encountering the Lions in Super Bowl LIX, it predicts that the Lions will be the ones to thwart any attempts by Patrick Mahomes and his team to achieve a three-peat championship.

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles are projected as the most likely opponent for the Lions in the NFC Championship game.Several NFL reporters share similar sentiments regarding the potential for a Chiefs vs. Lions Super Bowl.
