The Premier NFL Teams in Each Conference

Written by Scott Coats on November 25, 2009 – 7:32 pm -

With the football season nearly halfway over, it looks like the contenders and the pretenders are starting to separate themselves. The race is wide open in both conferences, but there are some very obvious front runners at the moment.

It’s time to review the season thus far by proclaiming the best teams in each conference. When all is said and done, I’ll then go ahead in making a Super Bowl prediction.

In the AFC, it would appear that there are a few clear contenders. First of all, the Pittsburgh Steelers have bounced back from a disappointing start, winners of 4 straight and now 5-2. They have Troy Polamalu back and the fact that they beat the Vikings shows that this team is strong.

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.

As far as the NFC is concerned, the major story in this conference is the New Orleans Saints. This team has what may be the best offense in all of football.

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.

There are some other teams that can’t be overlooked. The Philadelphia Eagles and the Minnesota Vikings both look exceptional right now, and veteran QBs Brett Favre and Donovan McNabb are leading their teams in true form. Behind these teams would be the Giants and the Cardinals, though both have been inconsistent at times.

    I will put it this way…The Steelers will go as far as the offensive line goes. Yes Ben can scramble and make plays BUT BUT when you don’t even have time to drop back without worrying about having your knees or head taken out…Not good.
