Super Bowl XLIX Futures Odds as of Week 20<\/h2>\nSeattle Seahawks<\/h3>\n
The Seattle Seahawks lead the remaining four teams in the chase for the Lombardi Trophy as +125<\/strong><\/a> favorites. They do so with a mix of excellent defense and a stellar running game.<\/p>\n [sc:NFL240banner ]Seattle\u2019s top-ranked defense led the league in both scoring and total defense during the regular season. They allowed an average of 15.9 points and just 267.1 yards per game.<\/p>\n While the Seahawks have limited their opponents\u2019 time on the field with their defense, they also know how to milk the clock with an excellent running game. They ranked first in the regular season with 172.6 yards rushing per game.<\/p>\n Still, the Seahawks aren\u2019t as adept through the air. Quarterback Russell Wilson has averaged 217 yards passing per game. Seattle\u2019s receiving corps has also taken a hit as they\u2019re left with four active wide receivers in Jermain Kearse, Doug Baldwin, Ricardo Lockette and Kevin Norwood after Paul Richardson suffered a torn ACL in the divisional playoff.<\/p>\n Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are back in the AFC Championship Game and are +185<\/strong><\/a> favorites to win Super Bowl XLIX. The Patriots’ offense is led by the strong arm of Brady, who ranks fifth in the league with 33 passing touchdowns in the regular season and threw for three against Baltimore in their divisional playoff.<\/p>\n The Patriots should fancy their chances of making the Super Bowl with a strong receiving corps led by Rob Gronkowski. Gronk had a monster regular season racking up 1,124 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns, the most in the league among tight ends. He had 108 yards and a score in the divisional playoff win over the Ravens.<\/p>\n On the other side of the ball, the Patriots have struggled against the pass. They rank 17th<\/sup> in passing defense as they\u2019ve allowed 239.8 yards per game during the regular season. The Pats allowed Baltimore\u2019s Joe Flacco to pass for 292 yards and four touchdowns in the divisional playoff.<\/p>\n The Green Bay Packers and their well-rounded offense have an uphill battle when they take on the Seahawks at CenturyLink Field. It also does them no favors that Aaron Rodgers is operating on just one good leg. Speaking of which, you can find our up-to-the-minute tracker of Rodgers’ leg injury here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Rodgers was excellent in the divisional playoff as he passed for 316 yards and three touchdowns despite his injured leg. Meanwhile, running back Eddie Lacy powers the backfield. Lacy averaged 99.2 yards per game in the final six games of the regular season and had 101 yards on 19 carries in the divisional playoff on Sunday.<\/p>\n While Green Bay has quite a potent offense, the same can\u2019t be said of their rushing defense. They allowed 145 yards rushing to Dallas and their rushing defense ranked 23rd<\/sup> in the league (119.9 yards allowed per game) in the regular season.<\/p>\n The Packers are +500<\/strong><\/a> to raise the Lombardi Trophy.<\/p>\n The Indianapolis Colts are the biggest underdogs to win Super Bowl XLIX at +600<\/strong><\/a>. However, they can certainly pack a punch as they owned the league\u2019s top-ranked passing offense during the regular season. The Colts averaged 306 yards per game in the regular season, and Andrew Luck\u2019s 40 regular season passing touchdowns were the most in the league.<\/p>\n What has hurt the Colts in their losses is their rushing defense. They allowed an average of 143.8 rushing yards in their five regular season losses. However, the Colts may be over that particular hump after they limited Cincinnati and Denver to an average of 99 yards rushing in their two postseason games.<\/p>\n Got your dog in this fight?
