Broncos-Chargers Week 17 Game Thread

Odds for the rest of the playoff teams: Cincinnati, 20-1; Kansas City, 25-1; Green Bay and Minnesota, 30-1; Washington 40-1 and Houston, 60-1.

Super Bowl 50 is February 7, 2016 and will be at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

It was widely expected that Super Bowl XLII would be the crowning achievement in the greatest season in National Football League history.

The Seahawks won six of their last seven games and trounced the Arizona Cardinals, 36-6, in their regular season finale.

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay offense have struggled greatly of late, scoring a total of just 21 points in their last two games. Those Bengals started 1-6 and made the playoffs. This is the same team Seattle trounced 38-7 back on December 6. Carolina will unsurprisingly hold the number one seed in the NFC.

Williams took over lead-back duties for the Steelers in Week 9 after Le’Veon Bell was lost for the season and has played over 90 percent of the running snaps. That said, the trip to the Super Bowl will go to the team playing its best football at the moment of truth, and that will be the Seahawks. Since that time, only LeSean McCoy, Darren McFadden and Adrian Peterson (all tied with nine) have more runs of 15 yards or more than Williams (eight).

According to oddsmakers at BetDSI, the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots are co-favorites at +200 to win the AFC title.

The Steelers are the one team in the AFC that no one wants to face. If not, Aaron Rodgers will absolutely make them pay, as he is the cream of the crop when it comes to picking apart opposing defenses who are unable to supply a decent pass rush. That’s especially the case when you consider Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton is likely to miss the Bengals matchup with the Steelers, per NFL.com. If the Steelers win, the Patriots will host the victor of Kansas City- Houston.

Waiting to play the next weekend will be the teams that earned first-round byes.

Seattle’s running game, despite losing starter Marshawn Lynch for nine games this season, ranks seventh for yards per carry (4.6) and its offensive front prevents the rusher from being stopped at or behind the line of scrimmage 83 percent of the time – good enough for the fourth best rate in the NFL. But the money is still on Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.
