The four NFL Divisional Round matchups have been made, which means the odds of winning Super Bowl LIX have slimmed to just eight contenders.

The last team to punch a ticket to the second round was the Los Angeles Rams, with their victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Monday shaking up the Super Bowl odds for fellow NFC contenders.

Find out how the field breaks down below.

NFC opens up following Vikings loss

The 10-win Rams (+1800 to win SBLIX) are considered a weaker team compared to the 14-win Vikings.

That easier path dropped the Detroit Lions from +300 to +290 to win Super Bowl LIX and trimmed the Philadelphia Eagles’ price from +450 to +390, with L.A. traveling to Philly for the Divisional Round.

Even the long-shot Washington Commanders had their Big Game futures adjusted at some books, moving from +3000 to +2600.

The Rams lost to both the Lions and Eagles in the regular season. In Week 1, they were edged in overtime 26-20 at Detroit, and in Week 12, they were smashed 37-20 by the Eagles in L.A.

Top dogs still standing in AFC

The AFC playoff picture is much tighter, with the Top 4 seeds advancing to the Divisional Round.

The Kansas City Chiefs are the second-overall favorite to win Super Bowl LIX at +350. They'll take on the Houston Texans (+5000) on Saturday, while the Baltimore Ravens (+470) and Buffalo Bills (+550) will face off in the final game of the weekend on Sunday night.

The remaining AFC teams were all expected to contend for the Lombardi Trophy before the season began, with Kansas City opening at +650, Baltimore +900, Buffalo +950, and Houston starting at +2200 to win the Super Bowl.

The NFC, however, has upstarts in Los Angeles and Washington in the mix, with the Rams hitting the futures market at +3500 and the Commanders at +10000 last February. The Lions and Eagles opened at +1200 and +2000 odds to win the Super Bowl, respectively.
