Carolina who has finished the regular season at 15-1, came up with +210 odds to play in the 2016 Super Bowl.
That’s right, the Cardinals are a ideal 4-0 in their friendly confines, including that last championship in 1947 and the NFC championship victory over the Eagles in 2008 that got Arizona into its lone Super Bowl. If you don’t count the NFL’s newest team, the 2001 expansion franchise Houston Texans, the Cardinals are the only team in the league who have never lost a playoff game at home.
The Week 17 win has the public throwing money the Seahawks’ way. Arizona ranks No. 1 in total offense, and have won six games by a decisive 20 points, at least. Both Arizona and Carolina are give 21/10 odds to make the Super, while Seattle have 11/4 odds.
Haislop: It’s the Steelers, and three things must happen for them to pull it off. They must win a slugfest in Cincinnati, DeAngelo Williams must be available and the defense must continue to outplay expectations. The Seahawks are the biggest favorites in the first-round, as they visit the Minnesota Vikings.
Steele: The Seahawks. As good as the Panthers and Cardinals look, it’s impossible to say the Seahawks can’t beat either of them, in their place.
The Washington Redskins have the longest winning streak of any NFC playoff team, but they are the biggest longshots to win the conference.
