Super Bowl 2016: Updated Favorites and Odds Entering Wild Card Weekend

January 7, 2016   ·   Andrew Gould   ·   Jump to comments

As of Thursday morning, oddsmakers are projecting a historic Wild Card Weekend.
Since installing the current NFL playoff format in 1990, all four road teams have never advanced past the opening round. It nearly happened two postseasons ago, but the Indianapolis Colts rallied to outlast the Kansas City Chiefs in a 45-44 shootout.
The Chiefs are one of those away participants favored to win this time around, per Odds Shark. Washington, who needed a Week 17 blowout over the comatose Dallas Cowboys to earn a positive point differential, has the best chance of avoiding underdog status.
The wild cards could have their fun, but the resting division winners remain the top favorites. Let's take a look at two of those top candidates to seize the Lombardi Trophy.
