    New England.....


    Agree with the Packers... also think the Chiefs have a shot. Very explosive team, can put up points in a hurry with Charles/McCluster/Bowe

    Since when does a 13-3 club qualify as a Cinderella team?


    To me, there was so much parity in the NFL this year, that there aren't many teams out of the 12 (aside from Seattle and maybe KC) that really do qualify as a "Cinderella" team candidate. Darkhorse would be a more appropriate term.

    Agreed. Of the two I think KC has the best shot at making some noise. How pathetic would it be though if Seattle made the Super Bowl with a 10-9 record haha. It would be like the time the Cardinals won the World Series with a regular season record of something like 83-79 a fews year back.

    IF the Saints get by the Seahawks this weekend the next playoff match up for the Saints would be in Atlanta. 2 Weeks ago the Saints beat the Falcons in the Georgia Dome. If the Saints can keep all their starters healthy in the first round playoff match up and they make it through to the next weekend why wouldn't the Saints be favored in Atlanta? Just my opinion. The odds makers would probably put out something like a -1 or PK. So Atlanta could very well be called a "Dark Horse" even with a 13-3 overall record and a 6-1 home record.

    Save your 10 bucks. Seahawks only managed to win back to back games once this year. No way in hell there winning 4 straight games in the playoffs. They'll be even lucky to beat the Saints.

    GB isn't really a cinderella team. They had high expectations to go to the SB.

    KC is a good choice.

    Look at it this way

    Would you risk 100 bucks to win 10 that the Seahawks won't win the Super Bowl?

    Sheesh. Tough field for the glass slippers this year. I think KC and Seattle really are the only 2 that would qualify, since no one figured they'd be in the playoff mix before the season started.
    KC is likely one and done. They have a little magic, but I really really really don't like their offensive line and while their D line is improving statistically, they still are not where they need to be to contend. It's hard to win having substandard lines on both sides of the ball.
    Seattle really has little to no chance to win a game, while KC COULD win a game - heck maybe even get to the AFC championship. I don't see either as having much chance, though.

    I think every other team, save the Colts, are capable of winning the whole thing. Turnovers, defense, and explosive plays on offense, as always, are your criteria for figuring out this mess of a playoffs. There's so many very strong teams

    New Orleans might not count as a "cinderella" especially since they're defending Champs, but they're still a 5 seed and have been scarcely mentioned in the SB conversation since they got off to a slow start.

    Id sell everything i own to get a bet on at those odds. That would be the best value bet in the history of sports.

    People betting seattle @ 100/1 should quit gambling right away. I seriously wouldnt touch them @1000/1

    Eagles will the be the "Cinderella" team in the NFC.....in fact they will beat Bears and Falcons or Saints and go to the Superbowl.

    Patriots pretty much gonna win the AFC and represent in the Superbowl.

    Vick vs. Brady for all the marbles.

    Yep, 27 to 1 to win the SB right now.

    When they won it all a few years ago they were 15 to 1, very similar team to this year.

    The Colts were more of a 'running' team when they won it. Hence, why they were able to win some tough/close games on their way there. Alongside the Packers, you'd have to put the Colts in there as a team that 'can't run the ball', although, Adaii's availability might change this. He's a tough yard inside runner that can run behind that craptacular line.

    yeah too bad its not the nhl or mlb or else they'd have a good shot as anyone.

    I would take ANY team that's in the playoffs at 1000 to 1.

    Yes, 100% percent I would. I'd even put $10,000 to win $1000 at those odds. They'll be done Saturday evening. If they magically happened to move the ball on offense and play some inspired defense and stop the passing attack of Brees (no chance in hell) then they'll move on to the next round. Then lose on the road to Atlanta the following week.
