The
Seahawks are one of the youngest teams in the league and still have many of
their pieces from their championship run in place. I think they have a very
good chance at repeating. If not, there are three other teams in the NFC that
could win a championship: Saints, Packers, and 49ers.
I
don't see the 49ers duplicating their deep playoff run that they did in
January. A 4th consecutive trip to the NFC Title Game might take them through
either New Orleans or Seattle.
As
for the AFC, the Colts proved they can play with the best in the NFL especially
last season when they beat the Super Bowl XLVIII participants. I think the
Steelers are primed for a rebound after last season. As for the Broncos and
Patriots, they are great regular season teams but come the playoffs something
creeps up. For the Broncos it was either being unable to defend the deep pass and
Manning tossing a game killing interception that advanced the Ravens in January
2013 or the blowout in Super Bowl XLVIII in February 2014. One of the local
news stations in Denver leads their Broncos coverage with "The Broncos
Will Win The Super Bowl."
Honestly,
not buying it.
The
Patriots will win the division without much opposition, but can they make it to
Arizona for a chance at redemption? They could, but as seen in previous seasons
something trips them up in the playoffs and Super Bowl.
Since
we were overdue for a Super Bowl blowout, we are overdue for a repeat champion.
Seattle
did that in Super Bowl XLVIII. They will hoist the Lombardi Trophy again in
February 2015.
