These odds offer a few great value options. For starters, I like the Broncos at +220 to make the playoffs, especially after adding a supposedly healthy Jamaal Charles to take some pressure off of whomever wins the quarterback race. With some question marks surrounding other Wild Card teams in the AFC, I wouldn’t be shocked to see three AFC West teams in the postseason.
In the NFC, the Panthers strike me as a team ready to bounce back from a disappointing 2016. Christian McCaffrey should step into a significant role right away, giving Cam Newton a solid short-yard option. The return of Julius Peppers also makes the Panthers, at -110, a good value for a team that could very easily be a division winner.
If you’re looking for more of a long shot pick, the Seahawks missing the playoffs at +450 is intriguing. Seattle has plenty of question marks for a team so heavily favored to make the postseason, including their offensive line, backfield, and seeming desire to part ways with cornerback Richard Sherman during the offseason.
