Who will win the Super Bowl?
By: Jake Rajala
The NFL regular season is right around the corner. There are a handful of teams that have a legit shot to go all the way and bring home the Lombardi trophy. With that said, I’m going to unfold five teams in the AFC that could win the Super Bowl.
Kansas City Chiefs
Let’s get the obvious pick out of the way. Patrick Mahomes didn’t throw 5k yards or 50 touchdowns last season. However, he was quite clutch. I expect him to be more in sync with Xavier Worthy, who is the fastest player in the league. Of course, Chris Jones is unblockable on defense.
Buffalo Bills
It’s hard to bet against reigning Super Bowl MVP Josh Allen. They’ve also just extended James Cook. On defense, I love the move to bring in Joey Bosa. He’s a bit injury prone, but he can bring the heat on 3rd downs. The Bills-Chiefs series is 2-2 in their last four games.
Baltimore Ravens
Derrick Henry is the same age as Todd Gurley (at 31 years old), yet he’s playing on an elite level. Lamar Jackson has remained an MVP candidate. He will now have DeAndre Hopkins in his back-pocket. It’s hard to not love their secondary, led by Kyle Hamilton. Jaire Alexander joined their posee, as well.
Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers have one of the best defenses with T.J. Watt, Jalen Ramsey, and Cameron Heyward. They were just missing a crucial piece at the QB spot. Well, now they found Aaron Rodgers, who can link up with DK Metcalf. The Steelers haven’t had a losing season since 2003!
Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals have recently been to the Super Bowl. They have one of the best offenses in the league with Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase. All they did was light it up with two touchdowns in Week 1 of preseason. On defense, they have the best edge rusher in the league in Trey Hendrickson. The Bengals have also taken down the Chiefs on occasion.
