Every NFL fan knows the feeling: your team fumbles a game-winning drive, misses a 29-yard field goal, or gets bounced by a fluke Hail Mary. And then there are those other teams who always seem to catch the breaks, win the coin flips, and get the calls. It’s like they were blessed with some divine football intervention.
Some franchises glow them. Maybe it’s history, perhaps it’s luck, or maybe it’s a phone line straight to the gridiron gods. Whatever it is, these teams seem to walk in the light more often than not.
14. Indianapolis Colts
Peyton Manning into Andrew Luck felt like a quarterback blessing few teams could ever dream of. Sure, it didn’t last forever, but it felt like the stars had aligned for a while.
13. Dallas Cowboys
They haven’t been to a Super Bowl in forever, but still get the spotlight. The gods may not hand them rings, but they sure hand them relevance.
12. Denver Broncos
From Elway to Manning, they’ve been gifted generational QBs just when they needed them most. Even during down years, they’re just one divine spark away from rising again.
11. Seattle Seahawks
It’s hard to explain how often this team pulls off miracles. From the Legion of Boom to that NFC Championship comeback, something always seems to be working in their favor.
10. Minnesota Vikings
They haven’t won it all, but let’s be honest—this team’s had more wild finishes than most franchises could dream of. Whether it’s good or heartbreakingly bad, the gods are watching.
9. Baltimore Ravens
Somehow, they went from the Ray Lewis era to the Lamar Jackson era with barely a bump. This franchise always seems to find its footing, no matter the chaos.
8. Pittsburgh Steelers
They don’t do rebuilds—they reload. Even when they’re “down,” they’re still annoyingly competitive and always seem to find a way into the playoff conversation.
7. New York Giants
Twice, they beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl in the most ridiculous ways possible. Eli Manning’s magic alone could qualify as divine intervention.
6. Los Angeles Rams
From the Greatest Show on Turf to a Super Bowl win in their stadium, this team keeps finding the spotlight. The move to LA didn’t just bring palm trees but also divine timing.
5. San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers have been one of the most successful franchises in NFL history, and they’re still finding success. They haven’t won a Super Bowl in a while, but they’re always competitive.
4. Green Bay Packers
They had exactly two quarterbacks over 30 years, and both are Hall of Famers. It’s not luck—it’s some cosmic quarterback inheritance plan.
3. Philadelphia Eagles
They may have spent decades as underdogs, but the past few years have felt oddly charmed. Even when things go sideways, they somehow land on their feet with a new star or a Super Bowl ring.
2. Kansas City Chiefs
They waited forever, but once Patrick Mahomes showed up, the sky opened and all the blessings came raining down. It’s almost unfair at this point.

1. New England Patriots
Let’s not overthink this: six rings, two decades of dominance, and more improbable wins than you can count. The gods had a favorite child for a long time.
