Panthers going to San Francisco in February?
The Carolina Panthers odds to make Super Bowl 50
The Carolina Panthers remain undefeated and are the only undefeated team in the NFL entering week 14, as they sit at 12-0.
First, nobody expected them to be in this position. Most of the media questioned if the Panthers would win even seven, or eight games, let alone twelve and those be the first twelve games of the season.

Now comes the white elephant in the room. It is almost like nobody wants to talk about it, but everyone is eventually going to be talking about it if you like it or not.
Talking about what? Well, obviously everyone is going to be talking about Super Bowl 50, in San Francisco, in February, 2016.
You do not like to jinx things like that, considering that eight teams have started 12-0, while six of those teams have advanced to the Super Bowl.
But, the Panthers have been playing well and the conversation has to come up. Since nobody was talking about the Panthers getting there though, what are the odds that they could actually win Super Bowl 50?
Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook currently has the Panthers as co-favorites with the New England Patriots to win the Super Bowl at 4-1 odds.
However, the Panthers did not always have these great of odds and actually have jumped up significantly.
Before the season, the Panthers had odds of 30-1 to win Super Bowl 50, which was 16th-best in the league.

Once Kelvin Benjamin went down with a torn ACL, the odds became worse, dropping all the way to 60-1 when week 1 came around.
The hot start by the Panthers, going 4-0 entering their bye week during week 5 of the season, put the Panthers at 25-1 odds at that time.
With each win, the odds of the Panthers winning Super Bowl 50 kept getting better and better.
Now, the current odds of 4-1 are the best odds they have had all year.
But, do not go and spread this – you do not want to jinx them.
