NFC #4: New Orleans Saints
After losing the first two games of the season, the New Orleans Saints went 11-3 for the rest of the way. Having a legend like Drew Brees will help and he will continue to make timely and accurate throws. The Pro Bowl Running Back duo of Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara (first since 1975) should continue to be a major threat in the back field. Their defence has been dominant all season and they just need to keep doing what they've done all year.
Superbowl Odds: 7-1

AFC #4: Kansas City Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs haven't had a home playoff win since 1993. To break that streak, the defense which has finally woken up needs to continue its dominance. On the offensive side, they need to continue feeding the ball to rookie sensation Kareem Hunt. He'll open up the entire offense and create different looks. And when Tyreek Hill races down the sideline with single coverage, Quarterback Alex Smith should know better than to not throw it to Hill's side of the field.
Superbowl Odds: 25-1
