The Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are all on top of the Super Bowl odds chart.
The four teams that have been in the title conversation all season are in a good position to open the playoffs.
The Packers are the best of the four title favorites because they only need to win two games to get to the Super Bowl.
The conference championship games for Kansas City and Tampa Bay could be played on the road. Buffalo would have one contest at home before going on the road.
The Bills could be playing their best football at the right time if they play their best football.
The TennesseeTitans should be in the favorites mix as long as Henry is healthy. It may be hard for the team to get through the playoffs without its star running back.
The other nine teams in the playoffs should be considered long shots to win the Super Bowl because of the difficult paths they face and the recent history in favor of top seeds.

Predicting the Super Bowl.
Kansas City is playing Green Bay.
It is difficult for a team to win three straight road games or two away from home in the playoffs.
In the last five seasons, the top two seeds from each conference have advanced to the Super Bowl.
The trend is positive for the Packers, Packers, Chiefs, andTitans, and the experience of those teams could show as the playoffs go on.
The quarterback with the most experience entering the playoffs is Brady, who is looking to defend his title.
The only road block that it could face is at Lambeau Field, where it won the title last year.
Packers quarterback Rodgers will likely be the Most Valuable Player for the second year in a row. He has more offensive weapons and a better defense.
The quarterback has three reliable wide receivers, including Davante Adams, and he has a two-deep rushing attack in A.J. Dillon.
Green Bay's secondary was the issue against the Bolts last season, but has improved with the additions of Eric and Rasul.
Chris Godwin and Mike Evans are dealing with injuries and will not be at full strength.
If Green Bay finds a way to slow down Evans, it could avenge last year's loss. Two games to advance to the Super Bowl.
Kansas City has reached the Super Bowl in each of the last two seasons, making it the favorite.
If Patrick Mahomes beats Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card Round, he will take out the most experienced signal-caller in the playoffs.
The Bills and the Bills will be familiar with the Chiefs, while theTitans are hoping to get Henry back.
The running back's return will not automatically place the TennesseeTitans in the Super Bowl, as he hasn't played since October 31 and it may take him some time to get up to speed.
If both teams advance to the playoffs, the Kansas City could try to make Ryan Tannehill and Patrick Mahomes fight for the same spot. Even though the Titans tried to close the gap in the passing game by adding A.J. Brown to the roster, the edge would go to Mahomes.
The argument can be made that Rodgers and Mahomes headline the best teams in their conferences because of their experience in the playoffs.
The first Super Bowl was played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in 1967.
