SUPER BOWL: Bills over Rams

This was excruciating to make. No Steelers, Dolphins, Titans and Chargers winning the division over the Chiefs in the AFC? No Bucs or Saints and the whole NFC West making the playoffs in the NFC? Predicting your favorite team to win the Super Bowl? Total madness. Ultimately, I like teams that have steadily built up steam over the last few seasons (Buffalo, Indy, Cleveland, Arizona), a couple that finally have some decent health (San Fran, LA Chargers), but there’s always stalwarts to take their usual place in the field (KC, Baltimore, New England, Green Bay, Seattle, LA Rams). The only real surprise team here is Carolina, though you could make a case for Arizona and LA Chargers (being so high especially, similar to WFT). So I feel it’s a good mix of different types of paths to the postseason, as we usually see.

Better than expected: Bengals, Philadelphia, Atlanta
Bottoming Out: Pittsburgh, Oakland, New York Giants (#1 overall pick)
