The New England Patriots have dealt with multiple injuries to starters on both sides of the ball, but they still have future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady under center.
That could be why they are tied with the 14-1 Carolina Panthers as the favorites to win Super Bowl 50.
Both teams have defied the odds—the Patriots with their injuries and the Panthers doubling their win total from a year ago.
However, both teams lost in Week 16 and are far from locks to play in the sport's ultimate game.

The Arizona Cardinals, who knocked off the Green Bay Packers, 38-8, in Week 16 are playing as well as any other team in the league.
