Getting to a Super Bowl is much different than being good during the regular season. We have seen many great regular season teams who falter when the playoffs roll around and some teams who don’t perform that well during the season, but excel in the playoffs. Here are five teams in the playoffs who have the best chance to make the Super Bowl.
Kansas City Chiefs:
They have been there, they have done it. They had the best record in the league this season and have home-field through the AFC playoffs. Come playoff time in KC, do we really think anyone can beat them?
Detroit Lions:
With the number one seed, they have an excellent chance to go all the way to the Super Bowl. Their biggest issue will be overcoming all the injuries they have endured. They have been one of the best teams all year and enter the postseason as such.
Philadelphia Eagles:
They have an elite defense, an elite offense, and the best RB in football. Let’s not forget that they have Jalen Hurts who has been to a Super Bowl as a starting QB as well. As the number 2 seed in the NFC, they took care of business in the Wild Card round against the Packers and their defense was a big reason why.
Buffalo Bills:
They have all the makings of a Championship-caliber team. The problem is, to get to the Super Bowl, they now have to beat the Ravens this weekend and if they can do that, most likely they have to go into KC and beat the Chiefs next weekend. Josh Allen could very well be the NFL MVP this season, though, and if he plays at that level in those games, the Bills can win any game in any stadium.
Baltimore Ravens:
They continued their strong finish to the season in the Wild Card round against their division rivals, the Steelers. The defense has really come together lately and is playing at an elite level, and the offense is as good as it gets. They also have an elite power run game in the playoffs for the first time in seemingly forever, thanks to Derrick Henry, which could help them take the next step. The get this Bills this weekend in Buffalo, which should be a fantastic game.
