The NFL postseason field will be bigger than ever in 2020-21 as, back in March, league owners voted to approve expanding the field from 12 to 14 teams.
Under the traditional format, six teams made the postseason from each conference each year. Of those six teams from both the AFC and NFC, two teams from each conference were given a first round bye. The other four teams squared off in Wild Card games for the right to advance to the Divisional Round.
Different, starting this season, is that an extra team will be added to the field in both conferences.
Also of note is that NFL owners approved a proposal on Nov. 10 that would expand the playoff field to 16 teams if regular season games are canceled this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The NFL last tinkered with the postseason 30 years ago as in 1990, the playoffs expanded from 10 to 12 teams.
NFL Playoffs odds for each Wild Card game will be posted at sportsbooks as soon as the 2020 regular season ends on Jan. 3, 2021.
Playoff futures can usually be found at online sportsbooks in the Team Futures section under a tab labeled “ To Make Playoffs .” This indicates the bettor is offered a Yes/No proposition on which teams will make the postseason.
Perennial powers such as the Saints or Chiefs are usually listed with negative odds at the start of the season because they’re expected to make the playoffs every year. For example the Saints were listed with -480 odds at FanDuel Sportsbook to start the season so it would have taken a bet of $480 on New Orleans to make the playoffs to profit $100.
Teams in stronger divisions tend to get longer odds, whereas teams that dominate their divisions get better odds because of their clear path to a playoff berth.
Most teams have NFL Playoffs odds somewhere between -200 and +200 at the start of the season. There are some true longshots, such as the Jacksonville Jaguars , who had +590 odds to make the playoffs in early September.
The important thing to consider when betting NFL Playoffs futures is public perception. These lines are set almost entirely based on the esteem each team has earned in the public eye. The Cowboys had -250 odds to make the playoffs entering the season because of their reputation as a star-studded team. But going against the grain by taking a +200 bet on Dallas to miss the playoffs again could pay off. Dallas was upset in Week 1 by the Rams, 20-17, and nearly lost to the Falcons in Week 2. They then lost their starting quarterback for the remainder of the 2020 season.
Also consider the division landscape when betting on NFL Playoffs futures. Not only does a weak division provide a path to the postseason, it provides six relatively easy, or six very difficult games depending on the division. It makes sense to analyze the entire season schedule before placing a significant wager on a team.
Note that if you’re interested in trying to predict the exact pecking order in a division, DraftKings Sportsbook is offering odds on the finishing position for each team within their division.
Odds are also different at different sportsbooks, so shop around and see where you can find the best price on each team to make or miss the playoffs.
Here is a list of the teams that made the playoffs in 2019 along with their preseason odds to qualify:
Based on preseason NFL playoffs odds, the Bills were the most surprising team to make the playoffs in 2019. The Titans also had long odds to make the playoffs and needed some help down the stretch to eventually earn the second Wild Card spot in the AFC.
The 49ers did not have very high expectations during the preseason, but were a trendy pick to snap their five-year postseason drought and obviously came through by winning the NFC West. The defending NFC champion Rams had -310 odds to make the playoffs and were the biggest favorite to come up short of the postseason.

The 2021 NFL Playoffs will begin on Saturday when the Indianapolis Colts visit the Buffalo Bills to kick off an expanded Wild Card Weekend schedule. With the NFL playoff bracket expanded from 12 teams to 14, there are now just two teams receiving byes and six Wild Card games instead of four. Now, bettors across the country are studying the 2021 NFL odds in search of the best values.
The Chiefs and Packers will both wait until next week to begin their postseason run, and they're the two favorites in the latest 2021 Super Bowl odds from William Hill Sportsbook at +180 and +450, respectively. However, betting on NFL futures is all about identifying value. Before you make your NFL postseason bets or 2021 Super Bowl predictions, you'll want to check out the 2021 NFL Playoff picks from the proven computer model at SportsLine .
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every NFL game 10,000 times and is up over $7,900 for $100 players on its top-rated NFL picks since its inception five-plus years ago.
It's a sizzling 23-13 on top-rated NFL picks this season, already returning almost $900. The model enters Week 13 on an incredible 119-77 roll on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. Additionally, the model also ranked in the Top 10 on NFLPickWatch in three of the past four years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 95 percent of CBS Sports office pool players three times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.
Now, the model has evaluated the latest NFL postseason odds from William Hill Sportsbook, simulated every snap of the 2021 NFL Playoffs, and the results are in. Head to SportsLine now to see them .
One of the model's best bets for the postseason: The Indianapolis Colts are a strong value to win the AFC at +1800. Indianapolis is the No. 7 seed in the AFC playoff bracket, but the Colts are coming off an 11-5 season in which they ranked in the top 10 in scoring offense, scoring defense, total offense, and total defense.
The Colts had a scoring differential of plus-89 and outgained opponents by 735 yards. They'll have a tough road as the No. 7 seed playing all their games on the road, but Indianapolis beat two playoff teams as visitors during the regular season (Chicago, Tennessee). In those two victories, they allowed just 281.5 yards of total offense per game.
If Colts quarterback Philip Rivers can protect the football while continuing to threaten downfield (7.7 yards per pass attempt), the Colts will be a tough out for anybody. That's why the model predicts they'll win the AFC in 6.1 percent of simulations, far outpacing their implied odds of 5.3 percent.
The model has also made the call on the postseason outlook for every other NFL contender. It's also high on another double-digit longshot to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. You can see the model's NFL futures picks here .
So which NFL futures bets should you be all over? And which longshot is a must-back? Check out the latest NFL odds below and then visit SportsLine to see the 2021 NFL Playoff outlook, all from the model that is up over $7,900 on its top-rated NFL picks .
Chiefs -120 Bills +350 Ravens +550 Steelers +1000 Titans +1500 Colts +1800 Browns +2500

For just the third time since 2001, we have gone two years without the New England Patriots appearing in a Super Bowl. But we couldn't escape those Pesky Pats completely, because Tom Brady crashed the party in a pirate costume. Fortunately, the matchup pits Brady, king of the NFL dynasty, against a would-be candidate to take the throne in Patrick Mahomes. That combination should result in plenty of drama, based only on Brady's history in the ultimate game and how the Chiefs-49ers last year played out.
My guess is when I release this list next year we see Mahomes-Brady high on the list. We've been lucky to see some incredible championship games in recent years, from Patriots-Giants I to Patriots-Giants II to Patriots-Seahawks to Patriots-Falcons to Patriots-Eagles (notice a trend?). Every time you think you know which Super Bowls have been the best ever, another one comes along to submit itself among the cream of the crop.
Chiefs-49ers didn't vault to the top like some of those epic battles, but it checks in pretty high, ranking as yet another incredible showdown in the Golden Age of Super Bowls.
Super Bowl LV is almost here, and you can watch it for free on the CBS Sports App .
It wasn't like there weren't plenty of exciting comeback victories in the older days, it's just that teams couldn't light up the scoreboard as frequently as they can now. So bear that in mind when you're looking at this definitive ranking of all 53 Super Bowl matchups so far. We want drama, we want back-and-forth, we want comebacks, we want intensity.
A lot of times back in the day, and really not until the last 20 years, the Super Bowl didn't deliver in the way we wanted it to. The turn of the century, and the advent of the Pats dynasty, turned things quite a bit. Since 1999 we've seen a bunch of wild games. Here's hoping we get another one this year.

Steve Young threw six touchdown passes and the Niners nearly hung a 50 burger in a Super Bowl, demolishing the Chargers in a game that didn't even feel this close.
Start to finish the Seahawks defense absolutely dominated Peyton Manning and the favored Broncos' historic offense. An absolute bludgeoning that no one saw coming.
San Francisco 49ers 55, Denver Broncos 10
An absolute blasting that was out of hand by halftime (27-3) as an utterly dominant Niners squad that was loaded on both sides of the ball just beat up on an overmatched Broncos team. Dominance is fun but not when you want an epic game. The Broncos were actually the top defensive team in football here.
The Giants had the tables turned on them after demolishing the Vikings 41-0 in the NFC Championship game, getting completely snuffed out by the Ravens in the title game. I always think about the alleged $20,000 preseason bet Phil Mickelson put on the Ravens to win it all when I think of this game.
The Jon Gruden Bowl sent the Raiders spiraling (they wouldn't return to the playoffs until 2016!) following a devastating blowout. The Bucs' defense suffocated the powerful Raiders offense. It's not fair that Rich Gannon and that offense are remembered by this game. They were incredible.
Washington Redskins 42, Denver Broncos 10
Doug Williams became the first African-American quarterback to start, and after trailing 10-0 in the first quarter, the Redskins responded with an absurd 42 unanswered points, 35 in the second quarter. This was not a thriller in the second half.
This game should have been 59-17 except for Don Beebe chasing down Leon Lett late in the game to stop the Cowboys from scoring again. Otherwise, it was a depantsing that featured Jim Kelly getting hurt (Frank Reich replaced him) and Troy Aikman going 22 for 30 for 273 yards and four touchdown passes to kick start the Cowboys dynasty of the '90s.
Kansas City Chiefs 23, Minnesota Vikings 7
Hank Stram's Chiefs handled the Vikings, snuffing out the rushing attack in a game with pretty sloppy weather. Friendly reminder that Len Dawson is amazing .
Miami Dolphins 24, Minnesota Vikings 7
Bob Griese completed over 85 percent of his passes in this game, completing six of his seven attempts. The Dolphins fed Larry Csonka the ball 33 times for 145 yards and led 24-0 going into the fourth quarter.
Dallas Cowboys 27, Denver Broncos 10
The Broncos were never really any closer than 10 points in this game and Craig Morton's 4-for-15, 39-yard, four-interception performance kind of summed up Denver's effort.
Green Bay Packers 35, Kansas City Chiefs 10
Bart Starr completed 16 of 23 passes for 250 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and the combo of Zeke Bratkowski/Jim Taylor rushed for another three scores in a game that was never close. But it did start a delightful tradition and it featured a man named Zeke Bratkowski.
Washington Redskins 37, Buffalo Bills 24
The Bills closed this game to a two-score affair, but the Redskins were blasting them 24-0 in the third quarter and 37-10 in the fourth. Fun fact: Millions of children demanded their parents change the channel during halftime from CBS to Fox to watch Jim Carrey appear as Fire Marshall Bill on a halftime version of "In Living Color."
Oakland Raiders 27, Philadelphia Eagles 10
The Raiders led 14-3 at half and a trio of Ron Jaworski interceptions was too much for Philadelphia to overcome, especially with Jim Plunkett tossing three touchdowns for an MVP-caliber game.
Denver Broncos 34, Atlanta Falcons 19
Somehow Chris Chandler wasn't able to stop John Elway from winning his final game as a pro? You don't say. The world was robbed of seeing the Vikings and Broncos square off. This loss was probably much easier than Super Bowl LI for the Falcons.
New York Giants 39, Denver Broncos 20
John Elway and the Broncos would take a 10-7 lead into the second quarter, but the Giants ripped off 26 unanswered points behind our excellent colleague Phil Simms, who lit up the Broncos for 268 yards and three touchdowns before promptly coining the "I'm going to Disney World!" phrase.
Los Angeles Raiders 38, Washington Redskins 9
Two defensive touchdowns in the first half and a pair of Marcus Allen touchdown runs in the second half snuffed out the 16-win Redskins and Joe Theismann. Hey, Los Angeles can win a Super Bowl! This would be the last AFC title until the 1997 season.
Dallas Cowboys 24, Miami Dolphins 3
Tom Landry's Cowboys blistered Miami in this one, which is wild because the Dolphins were one season away from going undefeated. Miami managed one second-quarter field goal, while Dallas rumbled for 252 rushing yards.
San Francisco 49ers 38, Miami Dolphins 16
Dan Marino threw for more than 5,000 yards in 1984, his second season. He was supposed to end up with so many more chances to win the Super Bowl and he never returned.
Oakland Raiders 32, Minnesota Vikings 14
A total of 17 Hall of Fame players or coaches were involved in this showdown, but John Madden's Raiders easily waltzed away from Bud Grant's Vikings.
Pittsburgh Steelers 16, Minnesota Vikings 6
This was a "Your defense is offensive game" with a halftime score of 2-0. Two! Terry Bradshaw and Fran Tarkenton combined for 198 yards on 40 attempts, but the Steelers still won the franchise's first Super Bowl.
Green Bay Packers 33, Oakland Raiders 14
Vince Lombardi left as the Packers' coach a winner, walking away with a victory over the Raiders in this Super Bowl. Well, technically he was carried away by his team, but you get the point. A dominant Packers victory.
Chicago Bears 46, New England Patriots 10
The Pats scored first, registering a field goal, and then didn't put up any more points until it was 44-3 in the fourth quarter. That's what happens when you run into arguably the greatest defense of all time. When William "Refrigerator" Perry is scoring touchdowns, you know it's a blowout.
Baltimore Colts 16, Dallas Cowboys 13
Known as the "Blunder Bowl," this matchup featured 11 turnovers and a player on the losing team (Cowboys linebacker Chuck Howley) winning the Super Bowl MVP. Oddly enough that sounds like an awesome time.
Dallas Cowboys 30, Buffalo Bills 13
The Bills, in their fourth consecutive appearance in a Super Bowl, led by seven points at halftime, so naturally Thurman Thomas immediately fumbled the ball in the third quarter, with James Washington scooping and scoring. The Bills wouldn't score in the second half. Oof.
New England Patriots 13, Los Angeles Rams 3
Let's not sugarcoat it: this game stunk. The Rams were one of the most dominant offenses in NFL history and they were supposed to usher in a new era of offense with Sean McVay at the wheels and Jared Goff flinging the ball everywhere. Instead, the Rams scored -- *checks notes* *wipes glasses* *checks notes again* -- three points. THREE POINTS. If we'd seen the sideline interaction of McVay coming to shake hands with Bill Belichick, we might have predicted this collapse, but surely no one saw this coming. The Rams couldn't do anything. Bill Belichick outschemed McVay, and the Pats' offense refused to get going either, which led to a 3-0 score heading into the fourth quarter. We were talking about a punter winning Super Bowl MVP in the year 2019. New England would tack on 10 more points in the fourth quarter, including a Sony Michel plunge, and those scores coupled with Stephon Gilmore's interception of Goff basically end the Rams' chances. This Super Bowl wasn't bad, per se, it was just incredibly disappointing.
Denver Broncos 24, Carolina Panthers 10
The legacy game for Cam Newton that never happened thanks to the Broncos defense destroying him. The Panthers were a one-loss team that looked sloppy on the big stage and got smoked by Von Miller and company, who let Peyton Manning ride off into the sunset with a second Super Bowl ring. Newton is more remembered for a business decision and a juvenile press conference.
Indianapolis Colts 29, Chicago Bears 17
Take away the Devin Hester kickoff return to open the game and this turns into a real ugly blowout. That's what happens when you take horrible weather and pit Peyton Manning against Rex Grossman.
Miami Dolphins 14, Washington Redskins 7
Don Shula and Miami wrapped up the only undefeated season in NFL history. You might have heard but they like to drink champagne sometimes. Pretty wild that an undefeated team was basically a pick 'em in this game at the books. Vegas was a little off on this one -- the Redskins didn't find the end zone until the fourth quarter on a fumble return after a botched field goal. Larry Csonka carried the ball 15 times for 112 yards.
Pittsburgh Steelers 21, Seattle Seahawks 10
Marred by horrific officiating that still draws the ire of Seahawks fans to this day (wouldn't want to bring this game up to Matt Hasselbeck ), this was an ugly game with some fun plays (hello Antwan Randle-El). Did anyone know Jerome Bettis was from Detroit? This was the Steelers' "one for the thumb" win as a franchise and featured NFL on CBS analyst Bill Cowher reaching the pinnacle.
Washington Redskins 27, Miami Dolphins 17
This season is best remembered for a kicker (Mark Moseley) winning the MVP, so it should probably be eradicated from history. Still, the Redskins dominating down the stretch, coming back from down 17-10 to shut out the Dolphins in the second half, is an impressive feat.
San Francisco 49ers 26, Cincinnati Bengals 21
This game is a reminder that even the greats don't always play great in huge games. Joe Montana is undefeated in Super Bowls but he went just 14 of 22 for 157 yards and a score here. But you couple this win with The Catch and there's a lot of lore to build on.
Pittsburgh Steelers 21, Dallas Cowboys 17
The Steel Curtain locked down Roger Staubach in the second half, only allowing seven points to the Cowboys after the break, and Terry Bradshaw/Lynn Swann teamed up for some gorgeous deep balls to mount an epic comeback.
Green Bay Packers 35, New England Patriots 21
The Patriots and Drew Bledsoe had closed the game to 27-21 in the third quarter when Desmond Howard ripped off an electric 99-yard touchdown on the kickoff return that snuffed out the comeback. This Packers team was stacked on both sides of the ball and the stars (Brett Favre, three total touchdowns, and Reggie White, three sacks) produced.
New England Patriots 24, Philadelphia Eagles 21
The score makes this look a little closer than it was, with the most memorable things for the Eagles coming when Donovan McNabb puked his guts up in the huddle and Terrell Owens playing like a man possessed despite coming off a broken leg. After this game, it felt like the Patriots would win 10 consecutive Super Bowls.
Dallas Cowboys 27, Pittsburgh Steelers 17
An epic comeback by the Steelers, featuring an onside kick and a Bam Morris touchdown run, fell short thanks to the second interception of the game for Super Bowl MVP Larry Brown , who almost returned both picks to the house. Jerry Jones has since claimed he made a deal with The Big Guy to never win another Super Bowl if Barry Switzer and Co. won this one. So, maybe want to remember that moving forward.
Kansas City Chiefs 31, San Francisco 49ers 21
I had a really hard time ranking this Super Bowl. It was a thrilling game at the end -- featuring a 21-point fourth-quarter comeback from Patrick Mahomes -- but for a large part of the game it felt kind of disappointing. The 49ers played really well and the Chiefs just couldn't convert their drives into scores. Finally, they took the top off, as the 49ers simply couldn't contain them any longer, and they ripped off that trio of touchdowns to put this game away, including a 38-yard scamper from Damien Williams to seal things. Jimmy Garoppolo had a shot at taking the lead late, but he overthrew Emmanuel Sanders.
New York Giants 21, New England Patriots 17
Revenge wasn't on the menu this time around, with Eli Manning and the Giants front four pulling off the upset once again. The only difference this time was Mario Manningham making the miraculous catch instead of David Tyree (spoiler: that game is ranked higher).
Green Bay Packers 31, Pittsburgh Steelers 25
An absolute shootout between two guys -- Aaron Rodgers and Ben Roethlisberger -- operating at the peak of their primes. Rodgers shook the absurd "playoff struggles" narrative with the Packers' run as a wild card and hit Greg Jennings on an all-time throw to convert a third down late to help salt the game away.
New Orleans Saints 31, Indianapolis Colts 17
This game ended up as a two-score win for Drew Brees and Co., but it was a lot closer. Tracy Porter's late pick-six of Peyton Manning ran up the score. Sean Payton onside kicking to start the second half is one of the biggest onion hangs in Super Bowl history.
Baltimore Ravens 34, San Francisco 49ers 31
An oddly thrilling game in the Superdome featuring a terrifying power outage, two brothers coaching against one another (the Harbaughs) and a compelling comeback by the 49ers that fell just short when Colin Kaepernick couldn't hit Michael Crabtree on a late fourth down .
Denver Broncos 31, Green Bay Packers 24
An epic showdown between two Hall of Fame quarterbacks in John Elway (seeking his first Super Bowl win) and Brett Favre (coming off his first Super Bowl win). The Broncos finally shook off a Super Bowl losing streak thanks to Elway helicoptering for a first down late and setting up a Terrell Davis touchdown.
Pittsburgh Steelers 31, Los Angeles Rams 19
Terry Bradshaw won the Super Bowl MVP award despite throwing three interceptions, largely because of his clutch fourth-quarter play that resulted in a pair of Steelers touchdowns that were the difference in a close game. The first one was a beautiful bullet deep, a 73-yard strike from Bradshaw to give the Steelers their fourth Super Bowl victory in six years.
New England Patriots 20, St. Louis Rams 17
The title that kicked off the Patriots dynasty and a very similar victory to the Giants beating the Pats twice. The Patriots defense suffocated the Greatest Show on Turf, and the Rams still probably feel like Spygate robbed them of a title. Tom Brady and Bill Belichick started building their legacy here. The entire game felt like being punched in the gut with the way the Rams' powerful offense was completely stifled. It was incomprehensible.
New England Patriots 32, Carolina Panthers 29
This was a brutal game for Panthers fans, who watched Jake Delhomme create some playground magic and Steve Smith absolutely dominate, only to have John Kasay send a late kickoff out of bounds to set up a Tom Brady drive and an Adam Vinatieri field goal. Fun fact: I watched one of my roommates slap another roommate when the second guy started cheering for the Pats late in this one.
Pittsburgh Steelers 27, Arizona Cardinals 23
Tons of epic plays in this game, from James Harrison 's wild interception touchdown return in the first half to the epic Ben Roethlisberger touchdown throw to Santonio Holmes in the end zone for the win. If you want to talk about greatest catches of all time, that one deserves consideration as much as the Tyree catch.
Look how little room he had back there. An all-time postseason by Larry Fitzgerald really went to waste here.
New York Jets 16, Baltimore Colts 7
A pure homage to Joe Namath guaranteeing a victory and the ability of this Jets win to spark the NFL-AFL merger thanks to the AFL's first victory in the matchup. The Jets only managed a single touchdown in this game but it was enough to topple an aging Johnny Unitas and the Colts.
St. Louis Rams 23, Tennessee Titans 16
The beginning of the Greatest Show on Turf culminated in Kurt Warner winning a Super Bowl MVP by throwing for more than 400 yards. It looked like the Titans would score and tie things up, but Kevin Dyson was stopped, almost frozen in time with his hand reaching out to the end zone. The world was one yard short from Jeff Fisher possibly winning a Super Bowl.
San Francisco 49ers 20, Cincinnati Bengals 16
Friend of the program Jim Breech banged home a trio of field goals (34, 43 and 40 yards) but it wasn't enough for the Bengals to keep pace with the 49ers and Jerry Rice, who finished with 215 yards on 11 catches. Mercy. An unbelievable drive by Joe Montana against a Dick LeBeau defense to close this one out.
New York Giants 20, Buffalo Bills 19
An incredible game between two great teams went back and forth, with the game ultimately coming down to Scott Norwood's foot -- the Bills kicker attempted the longest grass kick of his career (47 yards) and pushed it wide right.
Pittsburgh Steelers 35, Dallas Cowboys 31
Watch the highlights of this game and realize it's exactly what we wanted (and got) with the Eagles and Patriots in Super Bowl LII. Two really talented offensive teams lobbed up a ton of points with two great quarterbacks. Roger Staubach and Terry Bradshaw combined for seven touchdowns in this one.
New England Patriots 34, Atlanta Falcons 28
This was a really difficult Super Bowl to rank. Does the Patriots' comeback from 28-3 make it the greatest Super Bowl ever? It was certainly the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history, but you can argue at least one half of this game was not "exciting," per se. On the other hand, it was absolutely stunning to see the Patriots get curb-stomped by the Falcons in the first half; most of the press box was writing some version of "Dan Quinn built the baby Seahawks in Atlanta" column (I know I was). There was some "well, Tom Brady is involved" chatter and "you can't count out Touchdown Tom" stuff, but mostly it was a coronation of the Falcons and a lot of people preparing to dance on the grave of the Patriots dynasty. WHOOPS. Brady was an assassin in the second half of this game and the Patriots did lots of Patriots things. The drama mostly surfaced from there being about 10 game minutes, including overtime (the first Super Bowl overtime ever by the way), where you knew the Falcons were a girl running into the barn in a horror movie. They were dead, they just didn't know it yet. It was both breathtaking and heartbreaking.
Philadelphia Eagles 41, New England Patriots 33
I feel like a Millennial filling the top of this list with recent Super Bowl matchups, but the reality is these games have been INCREDIBLE. I can't bring myself to push the Eagles win over the stunning upset of the undefeated Patriots or the drama of the Seahawks-Pats Super Bowl and the ending of that game, but this one is pretty close. There was a David vs. Goliath factor to this game even though the Eagles were a No. 1 seed out of the NFC, thanks to Nick Foles being under center. There was the breakout performance by the Eagles coaching staff, and this victory helped pave the way for in-game aggressiveness and analytics usage to become the norm in 2019 (nevermind the Patriots have been doing both for years). Tom Brady threw for 505 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions ... and the Patriots lost. There was the PHILLY SPECIAL, a wild trick play that resulted in Foles catching a touchdown on a fourth down near the goal line. There was an attempt to throw Brady a pass that backfired. Brady had a Hail Mary look to try and tie the game up. US Bank Stadium was JAMMED with Eagles fans, most of whom were fighting off the cold with heavy doses of libations and their combination of underdog confidence and terror of having their hearts broken again filled the stadium with an incredible tension. Multiple plays on this broadcast were in the "was it a catch??" territory. To see a city and a fanbase have decades of football-related depression cured by a single underdog victory over the mighty Patriots was something else to behold.
New York Giants 17, New England Patriots 14
The undefeated Patriots strolled into this game as massive favorites, until the Giants provided the formula to beat Tom Brady: pressure with a four-man front. There are more technically proficient and athletic catch-and-throws than The Helmet Catch, but there aren't many that are more miraculous and on a bigger stage. It was a mini-Hail Mary with Eli Manning scrambling to avoid pressure followed by David Tyree pinning the ball to his helmet as he fell to the ground. The stuff of legends.
New England Patriots 28, Seattle Seahawks 24
This game had everything . There was controversy coming in (Deflategate had just begun) and it was a battle of the two best teams in football. The defending champion Seahawks came out gunning, the Patriots responded and took over the game and then Russell Wilson and Seattle tried to steal it back with one of the wildest catches by Jermaine Kearse you will ever see.
Malcolm Butler promptly took it right back with arguably the greatest defensive play in Super Bowl history.
