Super Bowl Contenders in Football This Year
With the football season nearly halfway over, it looks like the contenders and the pretenders are starting to separate themselves. The race is wide open in both conferences, but there are some very obvious front runners at the moment.
It's time to review the season thus far by proclaiming the best teams in each conference. When all is said and done, I'll then go ahead in making a Super Bowl prediction.
In the AFC, it would appear that there are a few clear contenders. First of all, the Pittsburgh Steelers have bounced back from a disappointing start, winners of 4 straight and now 5-2. They have Troy Polamalu back and the fact that they beat the Vikings shows that this team is strong.
There are also the surprising Denver Broncos, though no one is fully ready to take them seriously yet. Don't forget about the Patriots either, playing some strong football.
While all of these teams have been great, no AFC team has been as strong as the Colts. An incredibly efficient offense has dominated its opponents, thanks to the steady hand of Peyton Manning. Until the Colts lose, they're tops in the conference.
The NFC may be a bit easier to dissect, but by no means is it a sure thing. The New Orleans Saints look like the strongest team in the NFC thus far.
Many call Drew Brees the best quarterback in the NFL, and with good reason. His numbers are simply incredible, and the high powered offense in New Orleans has been virtually unstoppable to date.
There are some other teams that can't be overlooked. The Philadelphia Eagles and the Minnesota Vikings both look exceptional right now, and veteran QBs Brett Favre and Donovan McNabb are leading their teams in true form. Behind these teams would be the Giants and the Cardinals, though both have been inconsistent at times.
