Predicted to be about a 1 in 6 chance of winning it all

So basically we went from number 4 before week 1 to number 2 after week 17.

Doesn't seem like that big an improvement.

Romo's playoff experience will take us to the next level- Chiefsplanet

Wrong as usual. Chiefs are in a 3-way tie for 5th-7th behind the CLEAR four favorites.

Patriots +190
Cowboys +325
Steelers +800
Packers +900
Seahawks +1200
Chiefs +1200
Falcons +1200
Giants +1400
Raiders +3300
Lions +5000
Texans +5000
Dolphins +6600

I can't believe patriots are only +190 I guess them being gifted an afc champ appearance really did make a difference

Yeah, this seems like a pretty unprecedented type of year. Granted the AFC is weak but those odds are crazy.

Open the link, Cupid. I'm not posting those vegas odds because it makes little sense that the steelers have a better statistical chance of winning it all if they have to play an extra game and go on the road if they advance.

They have a quarterback.

:deevee:

The Steelers draw a lot more wagers than KC........The bait is in the water.

538 is a joke. Just FYI.

It would be dumb as shit to take the Chiefs as the second best odds. I think the Chiefs have an argument for being the second best team in the NFL. But they are less of a lock to get there because the patriots are in their way. I would go with Dallas because the NFC is a much easier road.

Doesn't make sense to me... Dallas has a cake walk thru the NFC....

Exactly.

That Patriots hurdle is an enormous one. And I'll be goddamned if the mother****ers didn't go and get themselves a running game (Blount being what Ware was supposed to be this year just pisses me right off).

So yeah, anybody that needs to get out of the AFC and isn't the Patriots should have significantly lower odds. But I'd also refuse to put the Chiefs any lower than 4th because needing to win one less game is, statistically, a MASSIVE advantage.

Dallas is losing their first game.
