Now that the NFL has reached its halfway point in the season, Las Vegas bookmakers released their latest odds for which teams they think have the best chance of making it to the Super Bowl. Kansas City Chiefs fans won’t be very surprised to learn that Vegas believes that the team is the longest of long shots to get to the Championship game.
The Chiefs, along with four other sad sack teams, have 1000/1 odds of making it to the Super Bowl and most of us that have watched this team over the first seven game probably think that’s too low.
No surprise that Vegas loves the Colts, Saints and the Brett Favre Vikings, along with perennial favorites Pittsburgh and New England.
The Favorites:
New Orleans Saints - 3/1
Indianapolis Colts - 5/1
New England Patriots - 11/2
Minnesota Vikings - 8/1
Pittsburgh Steelers - 10/1
Intriguing Dark Horses:
Baltimore Ravens - 13/1
Philadelphia Eagles - 14/1
Dallas Cowboys - 18/1
New York Giants - 18/1
Denver Broncos - 22/1
San Diego Chargers - 22/1
Cincinnati Bengals - 25/1
Maybe Worth Risking a Shekel or Two:
Arizona Cardinals - 35/1
Chicago Bears - 35/1
Green Bay Packers - 35/1
Houston Texans - 35/1
Atlanta Falcons - 40/1
Miami Dolphins - 60/1
New York Jets - 60/1
San Francisco 49ers - 65/1
Give Your Money to Charity Instead:
Carolina Panthers - 150/1
Jacksonville Jaguars - 200/1
Seattle Seahawks - 200/1
Buffalo Bills - 400/1
Tennessee Titans - 400/1

I don’t personally do it because I’m very bad at it and go with my heart (and love) of the Chiefs way too often. But I’ll still bet my oldest son a Diet Coke that Todd Haley will go for it on 4th-and-5 on the wrong side of the 50-yard line from time to time. He owes me a six-pack at this point!)
