The Best Football Teams in Each Conference

While many differ in their opinions as to who the best NFL team in each conference may be, just about everyone can agree that there are a few teams that seem to stand above the rest. Football has been exciting so far, and the rest of the season will be very interesting.

Let’s look at each conference and determine who the favorites may be. This is all in good fun, and I could very well be wrong about both predictions.

First, we’ll have a glance at the AFC picture. While there are a bunch of teams in good shape, I’d like to start off with a mention of the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers. After losing Troy Polamalu to injury, the state of this team was in peril. However, they’re looking as good as they have all season as their star defender has returned to action.

There are also the surprising Denver Broncos, though no one is fully ready to take them seriously yet. Don’t forget about the Patriots either, playing some strong football.

In addition to these three teams, the Indianapolis Colts are right there as well. In fact, they may be the best in the AFC thus far, as the team has won its first 7 games. Peyton Manning looks as good as he ever has, and they’re the team to beat.

Let’s look at the NFC next. Any conversation about the NFC has to start with the New Orleans Saints, still undefeated through eight weeks.

Drew Brees may very well win the league MVP if his second half looks anything like his first seven games, and the defense has been effective enough to provide the team with enough of a cushion to win each of its first seven games.

The Saints are the favorite to emerge in the NFC at the moment. However, they’ll have to fight off some other teams playing great football. The Vikings and the Eagles could very well be just as strong, and the Cowboys are finally beginning to get things together. Looming not too far behind are the defending NFC champion Cardinals, and of course, the New York Giants.
