Philadelphia Eagles

Let me tell you, I didn’t see this coming—but this Philadelphia Eagles team has blown past my expectations. Heading into the season, their schedule didn’t exactly scream "elite," but before their ten-game winning streak was snapped in Week 16, they were one of the league’s most compelling stories. They’ve continue to prove that they’re legit. The Eagles are thriving with a throwback formula: pounding the rock on offense and playing lights-out defense. It’s the kind of approach that wins when the stakes are highest, and January football demands exactly that.

Kansas City Chiefs

Until someone gives me a reason to doubt, I’m riding with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs—injuries or not. As it stands, the road to the Super Bowl in the AFC is going to run through Arrowhead, and that’s a nightmare scenario for the rest of the conference. Still, there’s something different about this year’s Chiefs. Despite their impressive record, they don’t feel like the unstoppable force we’ve grown accustomed to. There’s a faint trace of vulnerability that wasn’t there in seasons past, and it’s something worth keeping an eye on.

Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills have all the makings of a legitimate Super Bowl contender in the AFC this season. Josh Allen is performing at an MVP level, and this team has been steadily building toward a breakthrough for years. Come January, there won’t be a team in the conference eager to face the Bills—it’s that simple.

Detroit Lions

Through 17 weeks, the Detroit Lions have proven they’re not just a feel-good story—they’re a force to be reckoned with among the NFL’s elite. The big question now is whether they can maintain this level of play, especially with a defense that’s been hit hard by injuries. But don’t sleep on this team. The Lions aren’t just contenders to make a return trip to the NFC Championship Game—they’re in the conversation to take the next step and hoist the Lombardi Trophy.

Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers might not have knocked off juggernauts like Philadelphia, Detroit or Minnesota, but they’ve shown they can hang with the league’s best. Moral victories won’t pad the win column, but the Packers’ toughness and resilience make them a dangerous team—one that could turn heads when the playoffs arrive.

Minnesota Vikings
Under Brian Flores’ leadership, the Minnesota Vikings’ defense has elevated to an elite level, making them a team that demands serious attention as a Super Bowl contender. Riding the momentum of a quietly dominant nine-game winning streak, the Vikings have solidified their status as a legitimate force in the NFC. With a clear path to claim the NFC North and potentially secure the conference’s top seed, Minnesota is poised to make a serious run.

Baltimore Ravens
I’m cautious about putting the Baltimore Ravens on this list, given that this core has yet to prove it can win when it matters most in January. That said, the Ravens have plenty of the qualities you look for in a Super Bowl contender. A statement win at home over Pittsburgh in Week 16 has thrust them firmly back into the conversation.
