ESPN Insider- AFC chances for Super Bowl win

[ColtsBlueFL]

Denver - 16.9%, New England - 7.1%, San Diego - 4.7%, Cincinnati - 3.1%, Pittsburgh - 2.5%, Indianapolis - 2.5%

 

Vegas (last info I have) doesn't agree with SD or Pitt, though.

If the Patriots are healthy, their odds should be greater, IMO.

They always overlook Baltimore, the only team tough enough to break the NFC stranglehold the last five years .

Well they are a different team now since winning the SB, aren't they.

I would see the Colts in 3rd though.

Its the conference championship game played at night, silly .

 

Unless you are a #6 seed winning on the road (2005 Steelers, 2010 Packers both in the afternoon championship games), lately the 2004 Patriots, 2006 Colts, 2007 Giants, 2008 Steelers, 2009 Saints, 2011 Giants, 2012 Ravens and 2013 Seahawks all won their championship games in the evening/night slot to get to the SB.

 

If a #6 wild card team does not win the NFCCG in the afternoon, then the AFC wins the SB this year because the AFCCG will be the evening/night game, lol

 

/co-incidental but kidding (the last team to break that trend were the last team to repeat, Patriots, and maybe the Seahawks break it this year like them)

Yes they are. I honestly don't know what to expect of them in 2014. Colts definately have a shot if they stay healthy.

It's ESPN, they are never right.

 

 

Right now the NFC is the dominant conference. Much better defenses, and far more balanced teams. Not to mention the coaching totally blows away what John Fox can do.

 

 

The AFC is quite weak. Outside of Denver and New England, who is the big dog in that division? You guys even depress me with you doubt your own team that put a beating on that overrated Broncos team. The Colts are better than that and you know it.

I agree! They do overlook Baltimore and the Colts! Maybe it's a Colts thing! ;)

Questionable line and runners......fragile secondary///

Nobody is (or should be) sure about how good the Colts are

I would not have the Steelers in there. I would put the Ravens there instead. It will be a tough road for the AFC to win it all this year but really depends on which NFC team gets there. Match ups are always key.

I think they do ! They overlooked the Baltimore Colts, then the Indianapolis Colts, and the Baltimore Ravens. Can you imagine if Unitas, Manning and Luck, or Ray Lewis was in New York or Boston ? Our mid market cities would get all the press !

I agree with you. I think the Ravens are better than the Steelers. They have not gotten young as fast as the Ravens have after we blew up our team. The cornerback situation though, as I've stated , could kill us. Watch to see if Webb and Smith are starting against Cincy. If they are not, we are in trouble.
