NFC v. AFC Super Bowl Contenders

[BourbonBalz]

Based on injuries to starting QBs, I see only three Super Bowl contenders in the AFC. They are New England, Pittsburgh, and Kansas City. Oakland would've been a contender if Carr was still playing. I don't think either Miami or Houston were close to contenders even with healthy QBs. However, I see every team in the NFC playoffs as a contender with the exception of Detroit. The NFC team that makes it to the Super Bowl will certainly have earned it.

I'm not buying into the Giants or Seahawks either. I see three teams in each conference with a real shot.

Neither of them scare me, but they are definitely contenders.

I just don't see it. Seattles defense isn't the same without Earl thomas. Still really good but not elite. Russell Wilson doesn't look like the same player this year, and their run game has been inconsistent.

The Giants I think really lack offensive production. Can they outscore greenbay, Dallas and Atlanta all on the road? I don't see it.

I agree with the 3 in the AFC and feel there's a gap between NE and KC/Pitt.

Actually think there are 5 in the NFC that could pull it off if they got on a roll.
Dallas, Atlanta, Green Bay, New York, Seattle

Seattle on the road has been pretty bad outside of the NE game surprisingly enough. They are such a hot and cold team, who knows which one shows up. Same with the Giants.

DAL, ATL, GB are the top contenders IMO. Giants are sleepers. I just don't see Seattle winning 3 games in a row.

AFC is definitely more predictable.

the afc championship game will be Pittsburgh and new England pats I don't think a rookie qb will take the cowboys past the first game the giants will beat the packers the falcons will beat the seahawks so I think the championship game will be the giants and the falcons.

Outside of playing Seattle at home, Packers have loaded up on non-contenders.

Can you guide us through some of your past predictions? I'm thinking in particular of he 3-13 one but any would work.

I see contenders as teams that make it to the NFC/AFC conference championship. Until then.
