I, as I have said before, am a math person, and I like numbers. I was thinking about Super Bowl Odds. Putting together my math and sports, I created my own slate. I already did the AFC. Now, I do the NFC.
Odds to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl:
The Favorite
Dallas Cowboys Odds: 2-1
The Contenders
New Orleans Saints Odds: 4-1
New York Giants Odds: 6-1
Philadelphia Eagles Odds: 10-1
Seattle Seahawks Odds: 10-1
Tampa Bay Bucs Odds: 15-1
Minnesota Vikings Odds: 15-1
Dark Horses
Green Bay Packers Odds: 30-1
Washington Redskins Odds: 45-1
San Francisco 49ers Odds: 50-1
Detroit Lions Odds: 55-1
Carolina Panthers Odds: 60-1
Arizona Cardinals Odds: 60-1
Long Shots
Chicago Bears Odds: 90-1
Atlanta Falcons Odds: 200-1
St. Louis Rams Odds: 400-1
Hope you enjoyed this article.

Nice, I think if Aaron Rodgers can play to the level of a let's say John Kitna then I think the Pack's odds are a little better, but understandably due to the question mark at QB the Packer's odds seem about right. Good list, I'm glad to see you didn't just pick teams based on their performance last year but more of a potential thing. After all anyone who watches the NFL knows that the elite teams in the NFL are rarely the same year in and year out (Chicago Bears went from Super Bowl to Bust)

Dallas is 2-1?
Where do you get those odds from?
In this conference I find it hard to believe one team can be considered head and shoulders above the rest- especially the implosive Cowboys....
The NFC has been a wide-open conference for a decade now. The last repeating champion was the 1998 Packers
The Cowboys have not won a playoff game since 1996,,,, that's a long time agos - how old were you in 1996?
And now I'm supposed to believe they are almost even money to get the Super Bowl?
I'm not buying it

Come on, no respect for seattle, the hawks are going to be dangerous this year. Also the NO Saints again, they had a good year in 06, but that was it 10-6, thats not 13-3, 12-4, its not two ALMOST nfc championship wins, it was one appearence and they got killed

Why is Green Bay a darkhorse? Aaron Rodgers has been God's backup for a couple years now, and he actually did better than His Highness against Dallas last year. They have to be a contender. Your 49er bias shows as well, as they are more of a long shot than Chicago or St. Louis in 2008. Who is your quarterback? And who is he supposively going to throw too?

Yeah, you are right. Our receivers are crappy.
But we have a very good defense, excellent special teams, and a good running game.
The only thing missing is the passing.

I agree with some of your predictions, but their are three teams to me that stick out as better/worse than you have them. St. Louis does have real talent, just went sour last season when Steven Jackson got hurt for about the first half of the season, and he is a real presence when he is healthy. Still, their odds are low, but I'd move them up to about a 50 or 60 to 1 chance on your scale. The second team is the Saints, who did have a pretty good year in '06 but did pretty bad this season. I would move them down into the ranges of 30-50 to 1. And the final team who I would move up would be the Vikings, even though I hate to say it (being a Lions' fan), are coming up strong and will keep improving over many more years to come. With Peterson in the backfield, a highly talented and young offensive line, and a great defense, this team I believe should be in the range of 10 to 1.

They have issues at QB (health of Bulger) and receiver (Bruce to the Niners). Also, they have lots of questions all over.
But we can all agree that the Falcons suck.
By the way, thanks for the constructive criticism and also the compliments.

My brother is a Cowboys fan. He would love your odds.
I have to agree with you. I think Dallas is the clear frontrunner for the NFC. Now to go read your AFC odds post that I somehow missed.
