Well we just saw Joe Flacco and Ray Lewis hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy as confetti fell down. So the majority of NFL fans, 96.8% in fact, were upset that it wasn’t their team up there. But with that confetti and one city’s jubilation, hope and optimism spreads like wild fire through out the NFL as the other 96.8% of us begin to talk ourselves into believing that 2013 will be our year.
There are the usual supsects atop the odds list, the Patriots, Packers, 49ers yada yada. The interesting thing to me is how high Seattle is on this list.
The Chiefs who finished dead last in 2013 and were awarded the #1 draft pick, surprisingly, don’t have the worst odds at making it to the Super Bowl next year.
Defending Champs, the Ravens have 14-1 odds of repeating.
