Every season, NFL teams come out of nowhere to win divisions, make postseason noise, and throw their hats in the title-contention ring. This year, don’t be surprised if these teams with long-shot odds find themselves in the mix late in the playoffs. 

By the end of the week, every NFL team will have started training camp, and just about all of them will entertain some level of Super Bowl aspirations. (OK, not the Dolphins.) For a handful of teams, though, those championship dreams are real, including heavily favored franchises like the Patriots, Saints, Rams, and Chiefs. But every season, several teams come out of nowhere to win divisions, make postseason noise, and throw their hats in the ring. So I decided to take a look at some of the quieter contenders hiding in plain sight—teams with current Super Bowl odds of at least 20/1—and see who has a legitimate chance to make a surprising run.
