The Detroit Lions' 31-9 win over the Minnesota Vikings in the final game of the 2024 regular season had a playoff vibe to it. The spoils for the Lions (15-2) were the No. 1 seed in the NFC and home-field advantage throughout,

We rank all 14 teams in the NFL playoffs from least likely to most likely to win the Super Bowl this postseason, with the No. 1 seeded Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions given the best chances as they get byes during wild-card weekend and only need to win two games to make the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

The Lions defeated the Minnesota Vikings (14-3), 31-9, in the first ever regular-season game in NFL history between two teams with 13-plus wins apiece. The victory earned the Lions the NFC’s No. 1 seed and a first-round bye in the playoffs. It’s the first time in franchise history the Lions have earned the No. 1 seed in the postseason.
