The NFC playoff picture is heating up, but the folks in Vegas think it remains a four-horse race. The Seattle Seahawks are clear favorites to take home the NFC crown, but the New Orleans Saints follow closely behind. Luckily for the fans, the two teams match up in Week 13.

Close behind Seattle and New Orleans are the Carolina Panthers and San Francisco 49ers.

After that, just like the NFC playoff picture, is a cluster of teams that includes the Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles. With so many teams close together in the standings and still alive in the NFC Wild Card hunt, it is going to be a fun final stretch of the season.

How does Vegas think your favorite team stacks up against the rest of the NFC?
