All four games went the way I picked last weekend, meaning there won't be a ton of change in the odds, just slight adjustments due to four teams' odds falling to zero after being eliminated. Here are the four remaining teams' odds of making and winning the Super Bowl:
Odds of Making Super Bowl
1. Denver - 68.1% (+14.8)
2. Seattle - 62.7% (+19.3)
3. San Francisco - 37.3% (+17.7)
4. New England - 31.9% (+9.6)
Odds of Winning Super Bowl
1. Seattle - 35.9% (+9.6)
2. Denver - 33.5% (+5.6)
3. San Francisco - 18.8% (+8.5)
4. New England - 11.8% (+3.4)
New England's odds increased less than the other three teams due to the fact that the other 3 are the top 3 teams in my rankings and have been for a month. No matter which team wins the NFC, the Patriots would have the toughest path of any team to a title, but you can never count Tom Brady out.
There has been no change in my remaining playoff predictions this week, with Denver beating Seattle 32-31 in the Super Bowl.

Pick of the Day #67
Charleston Southern
The Buccaneers host the Blue Hose tonight, a team with only 2 Division I wins, and Charleston Southern nearly beat Baylor a couple months ago, so tonight should be another win.
