Look, we get it. The last confetti hasn’t even been swept off the turf, and we’re already talking about next year. But the NFL never sleeps, and neither do the speculation, hope, and delusion that fuel fan bases from coast to coast.
So in the spirit of offseason chaos, let’s rank all 32 NFL teams by their way-too-early chances of winning Super Bowl LX. Some of these picks are grounded in logic, others in pure fantasy—but hey, that’s half the fun.
32. New England Patriots
A new era is here, but that doesn’t mean the wins are. They’ll be rebuilding more than contending.
31. Carolina Panthers
The Bryce Young experiment better show some signs of life this season. But for now, it’s still a major work in progress.
30. New Orleans Saints
They’re always lurking around, but never threatening anything more. Derek Carr’s still around—for now—but the ceiling feels painfully low.
29. Las Vegas Raiders
A team that’s always stuck between retooling and rebooting. Not quite bad enough to tank, not quite good enough to matter.
28. Tennessee Titans
They’ve got some fresh energy and added Cam Ward, but the roster is still light on star power. Feels like a transition year, not a title one.
27. New York Jets
Aaron Rodgers is still technically the guy, but everything feels like a countdown to chaos. Until we know who’s actually under center, don’t expect much clarity—or success.
26. Cleveland Browns
The Browns’ quarterback situation is extremely confusing, and until they get that figured out, they’re going to be pretty mediocre. Hope that money was worth it, Myles Garrett!
25. New York Giants
The New York Giants rollercoaster is still stuck in the “wait, are we sure about this?” phase. The vibes are not Super Bowl-bound.
24. Minnesota Vikings
They’ll be fun and frisky even with rookie quarterback JJ McCarthy under center. But it will take some time for the team to all come together.
23. Indianapolis Colts
Anthony Richardson has all the potential in the world, but he’s still raw and developing. This team is trending up, but it’s not “hoisting the Lombardi” up just yet.
22. Chicago Bears
The Bears finally have hope and some legit weapons. But let’s see how Caleb Williams looks this season before we plan the Super Bowl party.
21. Atlanta Falcons
Kirk Cousins brings veteran steadiness, but Michael Penix Jr. is waiting in the wings. There’s upside here, just not immediate fireworks.
20. Jacksonville Jaguars
Trevor Lawrence is due for a bounce-back, and the roster is still talented. But the AFC is a war zone, and they’ll need to level up.
19. Arizona Cardinals
Kyler’s looking good, Marvin Harrison Jr. is improving, and suddenly there’s a little juice in Arizona. Just not quite enough to go all the way.
18. Seattle Seahawks
They’re always scrappy, but the NFC is a gauntlet, and Seattle feels just a step behind. Fun team, not a title team.
17. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
They surprised everyone last year, and Baker Mayfield has found new life. Still, it’s hard to see them winning four straight playoff games.
16. Pittsburgh Steelers
Mike Tomlin always finds a way to be competitive. But it’s going to take more than vibes and an average QB to reach the big game.
15. Denver Broncos
Sean Payton and Bo Nix looked good last season, but let’s see if they can keep it up this year. They’ll have to prove their playoff run wasn’t just a fluke.
14. Los Angeles Rams
Stafford and McVay are still around, and Puka Nacua is a legit star. Don’t rule them out, but don’t bet the house either.
13. Green Bay Packers
Jordan Love silenced a lot of doubters, and the young offense is clicking. If the defense catches up, this team could be dangerous.
12. Miami Dolphins
Speed kills and they’ve got plenty of it. But playoff wins have been hard to come by lately.
11. Los Angeles Chargers
Jim Harbaugh changed everything. If the Chargers finally get out of their own way, they could be a sneaky threat.
10. Houston Texans
CJ Stroud is the real deal and this team is building something scary. A year ahead of schedule? Maybe.
9. San Francisco 49ers
They were close, until they weren’t. As long as that roster stays loaded — and healthy — they’ll be back in the fight.
8. Washington Commanders
The Commanders made real progress last season and finally have some energy behind them. But let’s not rewrite history—they didn’t make it to the NFC title game.
7. Dallas Cowboys
Yeah, we know. But the defense is elite and the roster is looking pretty good… if only they could just do it in the postseason.
6. Philadelphia Eagles
They just won it all, but it’s hard to do it back-to-back. The talent’s still there, but they’ve got to find that motivation all over again.
5. Buffalo Bills
Every year feels like “this could be it” for Buffalo. And every year ends in heartbreak.
4. Detroit Lions
The league’s most lovable contender has real bite. They’re not sneaking up on anyone this time.
3. Cincinnati Bengals
With Joe Burrow looking better than ever, they’re always in the mix. They just need to stay on the field.
2. Baltimore Ravens
Lamar finally has the weapons, the defense is mean, and they came this close. They’ll be on a mission.

1. Kansas City Chiefs
It’s the Chiefs until proven otherwise. As long as Patrick Mahomes is breathing, they’re the favorite.
