We've not yet played a single down of football on Wild Card weekend, yet DraftKings Sportsbook is offering up Super Bowl anytime touchdown odds.
While this may seem a bit premature, these Super Bowl odds are enticing enough to consider should you fancy one or two teams to make it to the Big Game.
Given the current Super Bowl odds, there should be no surprise that the Detroit Lions players own four of the top five odds, with a few Kansas City Chiefs and a Baltimore Raven sprinkled into the mix.
Join me as I break down the way to early NFL odds for Super Bowl anytime touchdown.

Early Super Bowl anytime touchdown picks
Before we get into the selections, it's important to note that because the playoff bracket is fluent and the matches are not set in stone for the Divisional Round, these picks are based on how I see the playoffs shaking out and who I believe can get to the Super Bowl.
Jahmyr Gibbs (+250 at DraftKings)
The Detroit Lions have plenty of weapons at their disposal, but none are as elusive and effective as Jahmyr Gibbs. It took a while (and an unfortunate injury) for the Lions to let Gibbs show what he can do, but the second-year back is proving his worth and then some.
He's an elusive runner who can beat you with his vision and breakaway speed, as shown by his 1,412 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns. As a pass-catcher, he's just as good, hauling in 52 balls for 517 yards and four touchdowns. In the Super Bowl, teams live and die by force-feeding their best players, and Gibbs is just that.
If the Lions can ride home field to the Super Bowl, this line will probably check in around -125 if not worse.
Derrick Henry (+475 at DraftKings)
Did you really think I was going to leave out King Henry? The Baltimore Ravens' path to the Super Bowl is a bit tougher than the Lions, but Derrick Henry will almost surely find pay dirt if the Ravens can navigate the Bills and/or Chiefs in the AFC.
Henry nearly hit the 2,000 yards rushing mark, and put up a similar 16 rushing touchdowns. He's not the pass-catcher Gibbs is, but with his size, strength, and tricky speed, he's a matchup nightmare for the opposing defenses.
Derrick Henry anytime touchdown odds often started around -150 before getting bet up, and he's only failed to score in four of 18 games so far this season.
Josh Allen (+550 at DraftKings)
Is this the year the Buffalo Bills finally get over the hump and win the big win? Well, Josh Allen is certainly capable of leading the Bills to the promised land as the Wyoming product has quickly become one of the best quarterbacks in the league.
In a one-game winner-take-all-all situation, Allen's frame and his ability to run the football make these odds a steal if the Bills get to NOLA.
Allen ran for 531 this year and found pay dirt 12 times. What's to say he won't call his own number in the red zone — a place the Bills offense is all too familiar with — and punch one in to etch his name in Bills lore?
Saquon Barkley (+600 at DraftKings)
And finally, Saquon Barkley rounds out my quadruplets because did you see this guy play this year?
He was on a true 'F.U' mission and likely would have broken Eric Dickerson's record if not for being rested in the finale.
The problem with the Philadelphia Eagles is they have a tough draw in the Wild Card round vs. the Packers and will likely have to go through the Lions in the NFC Title game, should they get there.
There are worse bets to make a +600 odds than Barkley to find the endzone — something he did 15 times in the regular season.
