Super Picks

I still have a couple divisions left to preview but today's opening day for the NFL. Here's the science behind my Super Bowl pick.

Teams with a shot to win the Super Bowl
NFC:
Cowboys, Saints, Falcons, Vikings, 49ers, Packers, Giants
AFC:
Colts, Patriots, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Steelers, Jets, Texans, Dolphins, Titans

- Saints, Steelers, Giants, Colts, and Patriots have all won recently with their current quarterback, so they all make the list. The Steelers and Giants have weak offensive lines and probably won't make the playoffs.
- Cowboys could have home field advantage in the Big Game but Wade Phillips isn't a Super Bowl coach and the rest of the team isn't mature enough. Bengals are also strong individually, but not tough enough to win 3 playoff games.
- Falcons, Texans, and Titans are set up like the Saints a year ago with really strong offenses coming off a year outside the playoffs. The defenses do not look ready for the Super Bowl. The Patriots are in the same group; great offense, weak defense.
- Jets have a great defense but not enough offense.
- Dolphins and 49ers could be really solid but don't have much experience.
- Chargers and Vikings are weaker than a year ago.
- Packers and Ravens look really strong on both sides of the ball.
- Colts have Peyton Manning, Saints have Drew Brees.

My Super Bowl Prediction:
RAVENS over Saints
