Oddsmakers believe Colin Kaepernick can bring the 49ers to the Super Bowl for a second straight year.

If the oddsmakers are correct, Super Bowl XLVIII will pit the San Francisco 49ers against the Denver Broncos.

Online sportsbook Bovada pegs the 49ers and Broncos with the best odds to take home the Vince Lombardi trophy this season, at 6/1. Seattle (17/2), New England (10/1), Atlanta and Green Bay (12/1) are next on the list. Last year's Super Bowl champs, the Ravens, sit at 28/1, the same as AFC North foe Pittsburgh and just off Cincinnati's 25/1 offering.

The site actually lists San Francisco and Seattle with the same odds, 11/10, to take home the NFC West, though the 49ers are slight favorites over their division rival for the conference championship -- San Francisco's line there was set at 4/1; Seattle at 5/1.

The team with the least hope of winning the Super Bowl in 2013, per Bovada? Jacksonville, at 300/1. That's slightly behind Oakland, which opened at 250/1.
