Elite Teams
The Green Bay Packers – Even with the drama seeming to be never ending, the Packers are still an elite team in the NFC. On paper, they have a better chance to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl then the defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Aaron Rodgers can make any excuse he wants, but that offense is loaded around him and there is no reason they shouldn’t reach the Super Bowl this year.
The Kansas City Chiefs – Tampa Bay Buccaneer fans will tell you differently, but the Chiefs were one decent offensive line away from winning the Super Bowl last season. Yes, they got blown out and no one is denying that. But it was a perfect storm of injuries that crept up and bit them.
However, that being said, the Chiefs are once again the best team in the NFL on paper with the leagues best quarterback as well. The AFC is loaded with Buffalo, Cleveland and Baltimore all looking strong once again, but even with that said, it’s hard not to name Kansas City as a clear-cut favorite.
The Buffalo Bills – It’s hard to argue that the Bills behind Josh Allen aren’t one of the most explosive scoring teams in the AFC. Had they not taken their foot off the gas in the AFC Championship game, they may have knocked off the Chiefs. The defense continues to be their Achilles heel, but if they can get that synched up, they should be deadly once again this year.
