Sports Illustrated Names Kansas City Chiefs, Cincinnati Bengals, and Minnesota Vikings as Dark Horse Picks for Super Bowl 50
The NFL playoffs are heating up, and some unexpected teams are making a splash. According to the Sports Illustrated NFL staff's predictions for Super Bowl 50, the Kansas City Chiefs, Cincinnati Bengals, and Minnesota Vikings are dark horse contenders for the championship.
The Chiefs, despite being very competitive, often surprise analysts with their younger cores and evolving roster, making them a potential underdog team capable of making a deep playoff run. The Vikings, led by key player Adrian Peterson, have odds of 30-1 to win Super Bowl 50, indicating their underdog status in the race. The Bengals, historically a rising team under the radar, are also considered a dark horse pick with odds of 20-1.
As of January 8, 2016, the Chiefs are one of the dark horse picks to win Super Bowl 50 with odds of 25-1. The Vikings have been considered somewhat of a value or dark horse pick in recent years, with odds of +2100 to win Super Bowl LX (a later Super Bowl).
The exact Super Bowl 50 dark horse picks by the SI NFL staff are not explicitly cited in the search results, but it is consistent with SI's style and NFL discourse to consider teams like the Chiefs, Bengals, and Vikings as dark horse candidates during closely contested seasons.
