There are no doubts as to why the Kansas City Chiefs odds are where they are being that they’ve been to three Super Bowls in the last four years and won two of them. They also opened all three of those Super Bowl lines as the favorites.

As for the five NFC teams that are in the top-12 shortest Super Bowl odds, only the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers have what it takes to get to the Conference title round and beyond as they have made an appearance in both the NFC Championship game or Super Bowl in five of the last six seasons.
The Dallas Cowboys haven’t been to the Super Bowl or even won the NFC Championship since 1995. The Detroit Lions are riding just three playoff appearances since 2000 where they were eliminated in the Wild Card Round in each of those years. The Green Bay Packers, while they have remained competitive with nine playoff appearances since their 2010 Super Bowl win, they haven’t made it back to the Super Bowl since then and there are now reports that Aaron Rodgers could be on his way out.
Looking back at the history of the Super Bowl, six of the last nine and 14 of the last 23 Super Bowl winners have all come out of the AFC.
