The Seattle Seahawks<\/a> are the overwhelming favorites to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy next month, according to a supercomputer projection.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the post-season getting underway, ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI) has processed thousands of simulations to determine the winner of Super Bowl<\/a> LX.<\/p>\n

And the data reveals that the Seahawks hold a commanding 20.0 percent chance of winning the championship, placing them well ahead of their nearest rivals.<\/p>\n

However, hot on their heels, according to the FPI, are the Denver Broncos<\/a>, who also finished 14-3 in the season and hold a 14.0 percent chance of Super Bowl glory.<\/p>\n

Finally, the Los Angeles<\/a>\u00a0Rams round out the top three contenders with a 13.8 percent probability of going all the way and winning the Vince Lombardi Trophy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The projections suggest a massive year for the NFC West, with two teams from the division ranking in the top three for title probability.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Denver Broncos hold a 14.0 percent chance of Super Bowl glory according to the data<\/p>\n

The reigning champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, are not favorites to win it according to the data but have still been given an eight percent chance of retaining their title.<\/p>\n

Following behind Nick Sirriani’s team are the New England Patriots, who have been given a 6.3 percent chance of winning, despite finishing with a 14-3 record.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Patriots will face the Los Angeles Chargers, who went 11-6 this season, in their first game of the post-season on Sunday afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the other end of the table, the Carolina Panthers defied the odds by making it to the postseason, however, have been given a 0.6 percent chance of going all the way.<\/p>\n

Of course, the likes of the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens will not be competing for the Super Bowl, having missed out on the post-season altogether.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the supercomputer has also provided the statistics that will be relevant as we prepare to head into the Wild Card Weekend.<\/p>\n

The FPI suggests that the Seahawks have a staggering 58.4 percent chance to make their conference championship game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Respectively, the Broncos have been given a 54.9 percent chance of doing the same, while the Los Angeles Rams have a 40.9 percent chance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs will not feature in the post-season this year<\/p>\n

The Football Power Index (FPI) is a ‘measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of a team’s performance going forward.’<\/p>\n

The results are based on 10,000 simulations of the remainder of the season and take into account ‘results to date and the remaining schedule.’<\/p>\n

The data is updated daily to reflect injuries, momentum, and roster changes.<\/p>\n

The Wild Card Weekend will get underway at 4:30pm ET on Saturday, when the LA Rams take on the Carolina Panthers.\u00a0Later in the day, the Packers take on the Bears.\u00a0<\/p>\n
