citsalp 1,593 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 In the last six years, the Super Bowl winners have been sixth, first, second, fifth, third, sixth and fourth seeds. Courtesy of Las Vegas oddsmakers, here are the latest Super Bowl odds:1. Broncos 11/42. Patriots 4/13. 49ers 6/14. Falcons 7/15. Packers 8/16. Seahawks 11/17. Texans 15/18. Redskins 18/19. Ravens 22/110. Vikings 40/111. Bengals 45/112. Colts 45/1Hmmm? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peyton 21,045 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Obviously we are due for a one seed to win. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcons007 24,189 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 2003: Number 1 seed won the SB. Pats(14-2)2006: Bears lost the SB with number 1 seed(13-3)2009:Saints won the SB as Number 1 seed. Colts reached SB as number 1 seed.Every three years NFC number 1 seed is in the SB for past 6 years. The rest of the years in 2007,2008,2010 and 2011 the number 1 seed in NFC was one and done.Hopefully Falcons continue the trend of Number 1 seed in SB and win it.

Tandy 18,277 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 There have been 22 Super Bowls (44 Super Bowl teams) since they expanded it to 12 games, where the 2 top seeds get the bye week.33 of the 44 teams in the Super Bowl were #1 or #2 seeds in their respective conferences. That's 75%11 of the 44 teams in the Super Bowl were in the Wild Card weekend games. That's 25% At least 1 bye team has made the Super Bowl in EVERY season since the bye was adopted as a part of the postseason.At least 1 1st seed team has made the Super Bowl 82% of the time. (18 of 22)Both teams in the Super Bowl having a bye week that year has occurred 50% of the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MattM12 1,651 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 It's wonderful being in the UK for things like this. Less knowledgeable market means I got the Broncos at very high odds when the Manning news broke.Bet is looking nice now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ravens 22/110. Vikings 40/111. Bengals 45/112. Colts 45/1Hmmm?for people who want to draw conclusions, you need further analysis. since you posted this season's odds, the analysis would look back at the previous SB winners and identify what their odds were at the start of the playoffs. i.e., just because the 3rd seed from the AFC won the SB in 2006 doesn't mean they had the 3rd best odds in the AFC that season...

Peyton 21,045 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I'd like to congratulate anybody that was able to actually understand the point of the original post, because I didn't really understand what the odds and the recent history of the seeds had to do with each other at all.
