Denver dominated the AFC and Seattle did the same in the NFC, making it predictable that a Broncos-Seahawks Super Bowl is the most likely scenario.
A year ago, any Super Bowl involving the Baltimore Ravens was a long shot. This year, a Denver vs Seattle Super Bowl is the 9/4 top betting choice at Sportsbook for prop bettors trying to predict the exact game matchup.
A Seattle vs New England Super Bowl is the second betting choice at 15/2. Denver against either San Francisco or Carolina is the third betting choice at 9/1.
What is the biggest longshot among the possible matchups? New Orleans vs San Diego. The Saints have struggled badly as a road team and would need to win three straight on the road to make it, while the Chargers were lucky to even make the playoffs and would also need three straight road wins against the class of the AFC.
Good luck to them and good luck to bettors. See live NFL playoff odds and matchup stats and trends on the Wild Card games this weekend.
