Top 10 Teams Most Likely to Win Super Bowl LII
Like before, it's time for the bold predictions on who goes to Super Bowl LII.
Okay, in years past, I was not very high on them. But come the regular season, I would not be shocked if the Packers do so well they win another one.
It really sucks to lose a player like Derek Carr the way it happened.
All in all, this team has the capability to be great for years, and I hope it happens soon.
Meh, why not? They did great last season. Maybe they'll make it to the Super Bowl next season.
I envision a rematch for the championship, only this time Green Bay will be healthier and more prepared.
Will Tom Brady be on the team at the beginning of the season, or will he retire? If he does, they might be lower.
While they were close to getting to the Super Bowl, I guess missing Martavis Bryant paid off in many ways after all.
They are clearly going to be in the playoffs for a while, until somebody else steps up. But when will that happen? 2020? Or longer?
Still a favorite, although something needs to be done at QB. Alex Smith may not be the answer to lead the team.
While they were disappointed by big injuries, you can't tell me that trading for Bradford (who played decently) still didn't bite them in the rear.
I think they could bounce back as long as they're healthy.
The defense is Super Bowl caliber. Their chances of making the Super Bowl lie entirely on the success of the offensive line.
Philly may be on the right path with their new leader. Now, give him some more weapons at wide receiver, and you could find yourself looking at a great future for the Eagles.
What looked to be a great steal, getting a QB from Denver, ended up being a disaster of free agency overpricing (which is not even a word, lol). Not only that, but you also lose probably the best defensive player ever in J.J. Watt. I am shocked they made it to the playoffs and how they finished.
They put up a decent game against New England until the 2nd half, and that was all she wrote for Houston. If I were them, I would worry about the hot Titans.
From what I saw last year, the Titans finished well, although missing the playoffs. Getting a win from the Texans has to feel great, even though they lost Mariota.
I mean, they have the offense now. What they need to focus on is more upgrades on defense, and that team may be a force to be reckoned with.
With the departure of Rex Ryan, who knows what is in store for Buffalo? A new group, maybe a new QB? Why? I don't know, but it could happen.
As of now, the Saints are going absolutely nowhere, except giving Brees more of a reason to be in the Hall of Fame someday.
Again, while they had a heartbreaking loss to the Saints, this team will be motivated to get in this time.
If you really think about it, they are actually very balanced on offense and defense when they're on their game.
I mean, don't get me wrong, they played tremendously last season, but you know what does it for me? Sophomore curse.
Elliott and Prescott may not perform as great as they did in their phenomenal rookie seasons.
The Chicago Bears are going to be the underdog team in the Super Bowl LII season. Some people are saying the Bears will have nearly the same record as the Super Bowl LI season (3 wins, 13 losses). On top of that, people are saying that since Alshon Jeffery entered free agency, the Bears are essentially out of the top 25 of the 32 NFL teams. But here's what people don't see when they look at the Chicago Bears:
1. The Chicago Bears have a great young core of players. They all just need to learn how to get their job done. I'm not talking about working individually. If you do your part and the guy next to you does his, and both are done correctly, then you will be successful.
2. The Bears have a player who deserves more attention than he got this past season. He was a rookie for the Chicago Bears. Do you know who that player is? Here's a hint: he wears number 24. That's right, it's Jordan Howard. Howard didn't just break the "single-season rushing record for a rookie" in Bears franchise history. He did it in the most impressive and delicate way possible. Howard only played 3/4 of the games that season. He broke Matt Forte's rookie rushing record, achieving 1,313 rushing yards in his first year. He also surpassed the record while standing behind one of the most battered offensive lines in the NFL that season. So, to anyone who says Ezekiel Elliott deserves the #1 leading rusher title from last season: if Jordan Howard had started all season, Jordan Howard would have been king of the mountain.
3. The Bears also have a wide receiver who might very well become a future star in the NFL. His name is Cameron Meredith. He played a significant role toward the end of the season for the Bears. If he develops well, he could be the NFL's next top WR.
So, look out NFL, here come the Monsters of the Midway!
If they never took that trip to Florida, I bet you they would be sitting in the Super Bowl and not the Falcons.
Baltimore has been, at best, decent, while the last two times they failed to make the playoffs. Let the third time be the charm.
Otherwise, John Harbaugh may wind up somewhere else.
While this team surprised many, I see them having a down year. I'm not sure why, but I just feel they'll be decent enough to miss the playoffs.
I don't exactly see them making it, but I do see them doing some damage in their division. This team is not to be taken lightly.
The main question here is: will Kirk Cousins return to Washington? If not, where will he go?
This team is not what it once was. Losing a ton of key players made this team one-dimensional. Injuries may have hurt them as well.
