The favorites out of the NFC are the Green Bay Packers (17/2) and Seattle Seahawks (9/1).
That means the two teams in last year's Super Bowl (Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos) aren't favored to get out of their conferences.
With Mark Sanchez their likely quarterback, the Broncos aren't even in the top five favorites. The Panthers, however, are tied with the Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers at 12/1 behind the Patriots, Packers and Seahawks.
If there was any more incentive for Cam Newton to get back to the Super Bowl, this is it. It's easy to see the case for the Packers and Seahawks though.
With an in shape Eddie Lacy and a returning Jordy Nelson, Aaron Rodgers should return to form. As for the Seahawks, not much needs to change in Seattle. Thomas Rawls appears ready to take over, while Russell Wilson started hitting his stride with Doug Baldwin late.
If anything, there's a clear opening for a new champ this season.
