NFL Playoff Odds - 23 Jan

This weekend the participants in Super Bowl 50 will be determined from among the 4 remaining teams, so I've recalculated each remaining team's odds based on every game they've played so far and all remaining possible matchups. Here they are:

Odds of Making Super Bowl

1. Broncos - 56.8% (+33.0)
2. Cardinals - 51.5% (+11.7)
3. Panthers - 48.5% (+26.0)
4. Patriots - 43.2% (+24.4)

The Cardinals had the smallest increase in probability this week, partly due to their close win over Green Bay, who they were favored to beat handily, while the other 3 were all picked to lose close games but came through at home.

Odds of Winning Super Bowl

1. Cardinals - 32.8% (+9.1)
2. Panthers - 27.0% (+16.1)
3. Broncos - 22.9% (+13.7)
4. Patriots - 17.4% (+10.4)

The two NFC teams have the best odds of winning this season's championship, but the AFC teams, both led by former champion quarterbacks, cannot be counted out.

My Picks

Conference Championships

(1) Broncos over (2) Patriots
(2) Cardinals over (1) Panthers

Super Bowl

(2) Cardinals over (1) Broncos
