Updated Super Bowl Odds: The Saints Are Marching
According to nERD -- which measures the number of points we'd expect a team to win by against an average one on a neutral field -- the Titans are easily the worst team remaining in the playoffs. With a nERD rating of -2.83, they're not just the only remaining playoff team that's played like a below-average squad this year, they're analytically worse than nine teams who didn't even reach the postseason.
Naturally, they've got the worst odds of actually going on a run and winning this year's Super Bowl.
