Only 3 teams

Chiefs
Steelers
Saints (If Brees can come back)

That’s it folks. One of those 3 will be the SB Champ. Every other team is way too flawed or inconsistent.

 

I'd throw the packers in there

 

Getting a little ahead of yourself there. Lots of football still to be played.

 

Packers D is really really bad. They can try and win in shoot outs similar to KC but don’t have the same firepower or QB.

 

All things being equal and nobody getting a devastating injury those are the 3. A team could get hot at the end and maybe make a run but I’m really not seeing it.

 

I agree with that as well I don’t think there is a team in the NFC that can beat the Steelers or Chiefs. Assuming these two meet in the AFC Championship game in about 2 months on Sunday January 24th I think the winner of that game will win the Super Bowl.

 

Don't count out the Bucs. They aren't playing the best ball right now, but they've got a good defense and you just can't overlook Brady with the weapons he has.

 

Is Carr doing his undertaker impression?

 

I know but they made the NFC title game last year with that same garbage defense and the only reason I'm bringing them up is because of Rodgers.. Seems like he's been on the doorstep of the super Bowl for awhile now you'd think at some point he'll break through

 

I would actually now say the Rams over the Saints. Seems as if the acquisition of the likes of New Orleans. New Orleans' defense can be very streaky at times during games.

 

I think a healthy Saints team with Brees and Michael Thomas could definitely have a shot vs either. They have an excellent D and a diverse O with the addition of this T Hill wildcat.

 

Im not buying this Bucs D. Think it’s vastly overrated. Ive seen them get ripped by the Saints and to a lesser extent LA last night at home.

 

I don’t trust Goff to win 2/3 games to get to a SB. He has some absolute stinkers every couple games.

 

Seahawks with a healthier defense could be the 4th team and wildcard but I would have to see that D improve very soon to think they could get back to a SB

 

Perhaps.



That said, while he does have some eye brow raising performances, he has a Defense similar to his 2018 squad that can bail him out unlike last season. In addition, he does have a running game to rely on this time around.

 

I’m not ready to crown the Saints in the NFC yet. We’ve seen them choke in the playoffs before.

 

lol...no. Gruden needs another coach to build his defense before he participates in the SB. He likes the run too much.

Ravens sitting at home in January.

 

Maybe it was the matchup but it certainly did not look like he had a running game last night. I think he threw the ball around 50 times. They had 37 yards on 20 carries. That makes our running game look like Jim Browns in the backfield.

 

I do like that Raiders team as up and coming but you are correct the D is at least another year away. Jacobs and Waller are absolute beasts on offense.

 

Gruden is a good offensive coach that won't make a SB with him building the team. He never did squat without Dungy's defense.

 

You might be right. Some coaches get very fortunate to inherit a championship caliber team built by someone else.

 

I do think AFC will have the SB winner. If I had to bet my life savings on who it would be I'd have to go with the Chiefs

As another poster said a lot can happen between now and then.

Top in AFC: Steelers, Chiefs, Bills (outside shot)

Top NFC: Seahawks, Packers, and the winner of the NFC East (just to make people never be sure of anything again)

 

You mean like the 7-9 Giants who beat the 18-0 NE?

 

They were 10-6
