Super Bowl 2015: Latest Odds, Predictions and More for NFL Championship Game

Rob GoldbergJan 13, 2015

The 2015 NFL playoffs have featured more questionable calls than upsets, but the final two rounds are far from certain.

Most could have predicted the New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers would be in this position. The Indianapolis Colts represent the only surprise in the championship round after defeating the Denver Broncos.

Still, anything can happen in the final three games of the season, as each remaining squad is capable of raising the Lombardi Trophy. While some have better odds than others, the games are played for a reason.

Super Bowl Prediction

Seattle Seahawks over Indianapolis Colts

While both the NFC and AFC Championship Games have some great battles on paper, a lot of people are expecting some one-sided showdowns, like ESPN's Robert Flores:

The Patriots and Seahawks have certainly played extremely well over the past couple of months, but that doesn't mean a win is guaranteed.

In the first battle, Seattle will have to face the Packers, a squad that hasn't slowed down much since September. Aaron Rodgers is the favorite for the NFL MVP award and continued his home dominance with three passing touchdowns in a win over the Dallas Cowboys.

However, he is dealing with an injured calf muscle that is certain to limit him going forward. According to Bleacher Report's Zach Kruse, the Cowboys didn't take advantage of this fact:

The Seahawks are certain to provide a much tougher test for Rodgers, though, pressuring him throughout the game. Going on the road while facing an elite secondary is also likely to create a tougher test for arguably the league's best quarterback.

Seattle will once again use CenturyLink Field to its advantage and come through with another conference title.

There could be a bit more of a surprise in the AFC. When the Patriots and Colts faced each other in November, New England came away with a dominant 42-20 victory. However, even offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels can admit Indianapolis has improved defensively:

After holding Peyton Manning and the Broncos to just 13 points Sunday, the Colts will have a lot of confidence. Jonas Gray—who rushed for 201 yards and four touchdowns in the regular-season game against Indianapolis—also isn't likely to be much of a threat after being inactive this weekend.

With Indianapolis now coming in with the better running threat behind Daniel Herron and Andrew Luck playing extremely well lately, the Colts have the ability to pull off the upset.

However, the next game will not be as fortunate for Luck, as he will also struggle against the Seahawks in the Super Bowl. Tony Dungy explained how dominant Seattle has been:

Russell Wilson continues to transform from a game manager to a playmaker, and he and Marshawn Lynch have what it takes to keep the offense flowing. Add in a defense that became immovable toward the end of the year, and the Seahawks will repeat as Super Bowl champions.
