The NFC is anyone’s conference to win. The 6 seed Seattle is favored over the 3 seed of Minnesota. The 5 seeded Packers are fairly equally favored against the 4 seeded Redskins. The Seahawks are just as likely, according to oddsmakers, to win three road games and head to Super Bowl 50 as some of the teams with more favorable outcomes. Looking at each team it’s hard to find many glaring weaknesses, or much wiggle room. Due to this, the odds are fairly tight in the NFC with the top few contenders. Let’s take a peek at the most favored teams to win Super Bowl 50 in the NFC.

Carolina Panthers NFL Lines Analysis:
Carolina comes into the playoffs scorching hot with a 15-1 record, but there’s reasonable doubt among oddsmakers. Even at 15-1, they’re ranked among teams like the Broncos, Patriots, and Cardinals, even though their record far surpasses these teams. People are worried that the Panthers haven’t really played many great teams, which is fair to say, but their record against current playoff contenders is 4-0 as well. As long as they can come into the playoffs with the same chip on their shoulder that they have played with all year, it’s hard to see many teams that stand a chance against Cam Newton and the Panther’s electric defense.
Team: Arizona Cardinals

Carson Palmer came back this season and he came back swinging hard.
Arizona Cardinals NFL Lines Analysis:
Arizona is a hard team to judge because they’ve had their ups, and their downs. In the past two weeks they went from destroying Green Bay by 30 points, to losing to Seattle by 30 points. Which team is going to show up in the playoffs? If they play the Seahawks are they going to stand any sort of a chance? The Cardinals surely hope to return to the Super Bowl again after losing to the Steelers in close fashion back in the 2008 season. For bettors, if it gives them confidence, the oddsmakers still have faith in the Cardinals, and as long as you believe their last game against the Seahawks was a fluke, you should too.
Team: Seattle Seahawks
When: Sunday February 7th
Kickoff: 6:30 PM EST
Where: Santa Clara, CA
Stadium: Levi’s Stadium

Seattle Seahawks NFL Lines Analysis:
Seattle has faced a tough schedule, but when they needed it most they barely crept into the playoffs, winning 6 of their last 7 games, with 3 of those wins being against playoff opponents. Their recent thrashing of Arizona has given bettors hope that the Seahawks will once again reach the Super Bowl. The only reason to believe the Seahawks won’t return to the Super Bowl? The fact that they have to win three road games just to get there, and then they will have to face a tough AFC opponent. If you believe the Seahawks stand a chance, get in on these odds while you can. At +450, it’s hard to pass up a team that’d made two straight Super Bowl appearances, and was one play away from winning then both handily.
