I look at the past few seasons and the Super Bowls were won by two teams that just came out of nowhere.
In 2020 the Pittsburgh Steelers were 9-0 after nine games. They were 11-1 after 12 games. They ended 12-4 and lost in the Wildcard round.
Meanwhile, a wildcard team, the Tampa Bay Bucs were 6-3 after 9 games. They were 7-5 after 12 games. They ended 11-5 and won the Super Bowl.
In 2021 it was all about the four NFC division leaders for most of the season, the Cowboys, Bucs, Packers and Cardinals.
At one time the Rams were 7-4 while the Cardinals were 9-2, It was Green Bay that got the #1 seed but it was the Rams who won the Super Bowl.
This season isn't close to over and, although there are indications that things could go very bad for the Cowboys, who knows?
Who really knows?
Cowboys fans should be just as confident that the Cowboys will crash as they were that the Cowboys would beat the Packers.
