The road to Super Bowl LX in New Orleans narrows this weekend as four teams battle for conference supremacy. The matchups promise high drama, with prediction markets showing tighter odds than at any point in the playoffs.
In the AFC, the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs host the surging Buffalo Bills in what many are calling a referendum on the AFC's hierarchy. Kalshi has the Chiefs as slight favorites, though the 3-point spread suggests a coin flip.
