Arizona and Green Bay could both still make a run


Last week we identified a pair of NFC South sleepers who could potentially make you some cash as Super Bowl sleepers. The Bucs look like a pretty nice roll of the dice, New Orleans not so much.

But there are two more intriguing teams to look at this week.

The Green Bay Packers, who we highlighted when they were 80-1 two weeks ago, are now 30-1. Hope you already invested. Green Bay isn't a lock to make the playoffs and will have a tough matchup against Seattle this week. But Aaron Rodgers is playing really well right now and the defense found a little something the last two weeks, handling Philly and Houston in consecutive weeks. They get Seattle, at Chicago, at Minnesota and Detroit to close out. Running the table isn't even that crazy.


Arizona has a tougher slog up to the playoffs (especially with Green Bay's path and Detroit likely to make it as well). Three of their games are on the road, but two opponents -- Miami and Los Angeles -- offer nice opportunities for wins. The Cardinals also have to play New Orleans at home and Seattle on the road. They needto run the table to sneak in at 9-6-1, but that's not out of the question. At 80-1 they provide some nice value before a winnable game against Miami.


All odds courtesy of the Las Vegas Westgate Sportsbook.



1. New England Patriots (2-1, Previously 7-5)
: Now one win and a Miami loss away from clinching the AFC East yet again.

2. Dallas Cowboys (7-2, Previously 9-1): Now one win away from clinching the NFC East.

3. Seattle Seahawks (9-2, Previously 6-1): Dominating win over Carolina, but the loss of Earl Thomas for the season really hurts them badly.

4. Kansas City Chiefs (10-1, Previously 18-1): There isn't a more even-keeled team in football right now and Eric Berry has pick-two'd himself into the DPOY discussion.

5. Oakland Raiders (12-1, Previously 12-1)
: Vegas clearly expects the Raiders to lose to the Chiefs on Thursday night.

6. Pittsburgh Steelers (12-1, Previously 14-1): Starting to get hot at the right time and absolutely feeding Le'Veon Bell.

7. Indianapolis Colts (20-1, Previously 25-1): Dominating performance against the Jets has them in good position to steal the AFC South.

8. Atlanta Falcons (20-1, Previously 14-1): Rough loss against the Chiefs has them in position to lose the NFC South, but Atlanta's schedule is superior to Tampa Bay's. Julio Jones having a turf toe injury is the biggest problem.

9. Detroit Lions (25-1, Previously 25-1): The defense is coming around quickly and they just won for the first time without trailing in the fourth quarter.

10. Green Bay Packers (30-1, Previously 50-1): Hope you bought in when they were 80-1. No one wants to see them in the playoffs.

11. Denver Broncos (30-1, Previously 30-1): Major questions about the quarterback position and the run defense right now.

12. New York Giants (30-1, Previously 25-1): They have should be concerned about their schedule, starting with Sunday night against the Cowboys.

13. Baltimore Ravens (40-1, Previously 50-1)
: Joe Flacco is getting hot at the right time but the schedule is tough down the stretch and the Steelers are clearly the preferred team in Vegas.

14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (60-1, Previously 100-1): Now tied for first in the division with a defense that's coming on strong, but a schedule that's pretty tough.

15. Washington Redskins (80-1, Previously 50-1): A second straight loss is putting the Redskins in a bad spot when it comes to making the playoffs.

16. Minnesota Vikings (80-1, Previously 50-1): The offense just can't do anything and Detroit/Green Bay look like better overall teams.

17. Arizona Cardinals (80-1, Previously 80-1): Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

18. Tennessee Titans (80-1, Previously 60-1): Came out of the bye tied for the lead in the AFC South but behind the Colts for the tiebreaker.

19. Houston Texans (100-1, Previously 80-1): You can't reasonably trust Brock Osweiler to win a must-win game against the Colts.

20. Buffalo Bills (100-1, Previously 80-1): Rough when the defense can't close out the Raiders once on offense -- they gave up 29 unanswered points.

21. Miami Dolphins (100-1, Previously 60-1): That six-game win streak got absolutely derailed by the Ravens.

22. New Orleans Saints (200-1, Previously 100-1): So much for their sleeper status.

23. San Diego Chargers (1000-1, Previously 100-1): Another blown game with bad turnovers by Philip Rivers.

24. Carolina Panthers (1000-1, Previously 300-1): This team has completely rolled over and given up.

25. Philadelphia Eagles (1000-1, Previously 200-1): That Carson Wentz bandwagon sure has slowed down quite a bit.

26. Cincinnati Bengals (OFF, Previously 1000-1): They're not going down without a fight at least.

27. New York Jets (OFF, Previously OFF): They are actually going down without a fight.

28. Chicago Bears (OFF, Previously OFF): The Matt Barkley era is more exciting than anyone thought.

29. Los Angeles Rams (OFF, Previously OFF)
: Jeff Fisher got a contract extension!

30. Jacksonville Jaguars (OFF, Previously OFF): Blake Bortles is broken and he knows it's a "nightmare."

31. San Francisco 49ers (OFF, Previously OFF): Colin Kaepernick got benched midseason for Blaine Gabbert for the second year in a row.

32. Cleveland Browns (OFF, Previously OFF): Maybe their last shot this week for a win.
