Only 4 teams capable of winning SB?

[Boycie]

More than 4 teams are capable of winning the SB and the bookies odds show it.

The odds imply there is a 70% change that the lions, Eagles, Bills of Chiefs will win the SB but there is profit built into those numbers, (the odds imply there is about a 107% chance that somone will win the SB), so the ral proability is probably around 2 in 3.

This means there is a 1 in 3 chance the SB goes to someone else which compares to the favorite Lions 22%. It is just the chances of an individual team is getting quite low after the top 4 teams (the Ravens are fifth favorite with an implied probability of just under 8% then the Packers, Vikings and Steelers at about 4% each.

As soon as I saw you say "the bookies" I knew you were from the UK. Do you happen to know when Captain Dandy is running next? I wanna put a flitter on him, 5 quid each way.

Bookies is also a common Canadian terminology.

Bump. The experts and oddsmakers were right when they said SB winner was definitely going to be one of 4 teams.

Parity my ass.

When the playoffs started, I was leaning towards a Ravens/Eagles SB. I was wrong, of course, but they looked the best going into the playoffs to me.

For the 4th time in six years, and for the 3rd year in a row, we're going to have a KC vs Phi/SF matchup.

Why? Both the Eagles and the Chiefs had home field throughout, and were arguably the two teams most probable to make it to the SB.
