The current favorites to win Super Bowl 50 are the Green Bay Packers or the Seattle Seahawks.

Though the Packers might be led by the best quarterback in the NFL, and the Seahawks might have been to the Super Bowl the last two years, I am here to tell you who will actually win the Super Bowl this year.

Last year, I made two predictions for Sports-Kings.com:

The winner of the Super Bowl Would be from the AFC The Indianapolis Colts would win the Super Bowl.

Well, thanks to the New England Patriots, I was right about the first one, and thanks to the Patriots, I was wrong about the second one.

This year being Super Bowl 50, I decided I would get the whole thing right, instead of just 50 percent like last year.

So, prediction one: The winner of Super Bowl 50 will be from the AFC.

The location of each Super Bowl is selected before the game, and the decision of the site is not directly related to the teams that will play.

The chart below is broken down into three columns: The affiliation of the host city, AFC Victory and NFC Victory.

Host City AFC Victory NFC Victory Nuetral 2 6 AFC Host 7 8 NFC Host 14 12

As can be seen in the chart:

The NFC has an advantage in neutral locations The NFC has an advantage in AFC-hosted locations The AFC has an advantage in NFC-hosted locations

With the upcoming Super Bowl located at Levi’s Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers, one could make an educated guess and conclude the AFC will win Super Bowl 50.

To make the decision easier, let’s look at the results of recent Super Bowls to see how accurate this prediction might be:

Year Host Victor 2009 NFC AFC 2010 AFC NFC 2011 AFC NFC 2012 NFC AFC 2013 NFC AFC 2014 Neutral NFC 2015 NFC AFC

As can be seen in the table above, the last six Super Bowls played in non-neutral locations, the conference that has hosted the championship game has lost.

Based upon these two tables, we can safely predict that a team from the AFC will win the Super Bowl.

Now, prediction two is that the Denver Broncos will win Super Bowl 50.

I will use the same method to predict the game that was used last year.

I begin with the champion of the 2006-2007 season, the Indianapolis Colts, the last preseason favorite to win the Super Bowl.

I then take the respective team’s preseason odds for the year they won the Super Bowl, which can be seen below:

Colts: 5/1, Giants: 20/1, Steelers: 20/1, Saints: 20/1, Packers: 16/1, Giants: 20/1, Ravens: 14/1, Seahawks: 17/2 and the Patriots: 8/1.

Now that I have these odds, I will average the previous champions odds to come up with the future champions approximate odds:

5+20+20+20+16+20+14+8.5+8= 14.6 (rounded up to 15)

So, the team that will win the Super Bowl is the AFC team with the odds closest to 15/1, which is the Denver Broncos.

If you disagree, or just think I am plain nuts, comment here or hit me up on Twitter @ajrupp.

Let’s be honest, this is just for fun.

Let me know who you think will win Super Bowl 50, who knows, one of us might be right.
