49ers are SB champions

[RollerColt]

Rooting for:

-Bills

-Bengals

-Vikings

 

Rooting hard against:

-Bucs

-Giants

-Cowboys

 

I want a team that has never won to win it, so I'd be okay with Jags or Chargers too. I don't want yet another Tom Brady Super Bowl that's for sure. I've never liked Dallas or Jerry Jones. And after the Thibideaux incident I want the Giants to lose.

1 omission I left off was the 2000 Ravens who arguably had the greatest defense of all-time but they had Trent Dilfer at QB so they just missed my cut. You could take the 1983 Raiders off and put the 2000 Ravens in there but I will stick with what I got. I guess the 2000 Ravens are my honorable Mention team in the AFC. I apologize Ray. 

 

Maybe have a playin game 2000 Ravens vs 1983 Raiders. I am having too much fun with this now.

 

70's Steelers and 90's Cowboys were easily the most loaded teams of their times so I gave them the Bye's. 

[Lancer1]

If Mike Williams (who has a history of injuries) is unable to go (or severely limited) next week, Chargers HC Brandon Staley should be fired - he cost the Bolts a postseason berth last season when the Raiders seemed to be going for the tie that would've gotten both teams in, and he may have sabotaged his team's odds of winning a game now that they have made it in this year.

Didn’t Herbert take a shot to his ribs as well? Tom Telesco comes from the Polian tree of resting valuable starters.
 

That’s great for the Chargers to go get Sean Payton and the Colts can hire Staley to coach D under Harbaugh.

Some of those Joe Gibbs coached Redskins teams of the 80's were very good also, they should be in the discussion

It was actually the '91 Redskins that had their best season. Scored 485 points on offense (#1 overall) and gave up 224 points (2nd overall). 14-2 record. 2 losses by a combined 5 points. Beat Bills in Super Bowl XXVI 37-24..just food for thought

I would not mind that Super Bowl, with the Bills winning. Of course I want the Vikings to win but if they don't, I would like the Bills to win. 

 

If the Vikes don't win, I don't mind the Bills, Cincy, and the 49ers winning it. I like the Giants too, Thibodeau notwithstanding. They are usually a classy organization.

I agree, that is a big omission as well. Their 91 team was great.

[coltsva]

Eagles

49ers

Vikings

Bucs

Cowboys

Giants

Seahawks

 

Chiefs

Bills

Bengals

Jags

Chargers

Ravens

Dolphins

 

I'm good with any of the bolded teams winning the Super Bowl.

 

*49ers win the SB

*Eagles go one & done (unless a miracle happens and Seahawks beat 49ers. In which case, I give up making predictions)

 

 

[Nesjan3]

Tua is ruled out. Lamar Jackson reportedly faces an uphill battle to play

2013 Seahawks would beat the 2020 Bucs

2014 Pats would beat 06 Colts and  2019 Chiefs.

 

Also 07 Pats are arguably one of the best team of all time even if they didn’t win a ring

[sb41champs]

NFC

Bye = Eagles

#2 49ers vs #7 Seahawks - at 49ers  (49ers IN A BIG WAY)

#3 Vikings vs #6 Giants - at Vikings (VIKINGS)

#4 Bucs vs #5 Cowboys - at Bucs  (TOSS UP - AS BOTH TEAMS HAVE BEEN JEKYLL & HYDE ALL SEASON)

 

AFC

Bye = Chiefs

#2 Bills vs #7 Dolphins - at Bills  (BILLS IN A ROUT)

#3 Bengals vs #6 Ravens - at Bengals  (BENGALS IN A ROUT)

#4 Jags vs #5 Chargers - at Jags  (TOSS UP - AS BOTH TEAMS ARE PEAKING AT THE RIGHT TIME)

[Arodgers12]

Who is everyone pulling for? I’m going for Buffalo or Cincinnati all the way. I wouldn’t mind the Chargers either. Philly I’m pulling for in the NFC. I hate every other team in the NFC and rooting against KC. How bout you guys?

[VikingsFanInChennai]

I like every other Playoff team in the NFC than Philly. 

 

I like all the playoff teams in the AFC. 

 

So, 13 out of 14 teams I'm rooting for. 

 

I may root for Philly too if Hurts comes back fully healthy. 

 

Emotionally speaking, I'd like Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs to earn a Super Bowl together. 

[RollerColt]

Bengals, Bills, Vikings in that order. After that I’d be fine with any other team to have never won it before. The fans deserve it. 

[BProland85]

49ers are my #2 team since wife is a huge fan. 

[coltsfan_canada]

TB (Love Brady )

 

Joke aside really rooting for Bills or Cincy. Would like to see 49ers go deep without real QB to see how bad we were with MR / NF / SE as QB? 2 of our guys been to Super Bowl and one as winner.  

[KB]

Jags. Great underdog story being perennial bottom feeders.

[Bravo]

Cincy for sure. Family grew up there and I am unfortunately a Reds fan. If the Colts suck, I love to see Cincy doing well.

[Nancy]

I'm rooting for the Jags, Cincy, Bills, Cowboys (because of TY Hilton and Matt Overton), and the Giants.  After this weekend, ask again! Good luck to all and hope they are good games!

[Indyfan4life]

49ers/Bills Super Bowl would make me happy.

07 Pats can't be in the discussion, they didn't win it all. That would be like me putting in the 1990 Bills. 2004 Pats had a much better defense than their 2014 team. That 2004 team beat Peyton and then went into Pitt and stomped a 15-1 team. Seahawks were great in 2013 but there offense doesn't match the 2020 Bucs. Bucs made the Chiefs look bad in the 2020 SB.

I predict Eagles and Jaguars would exit, and their next attempt will be much better. 

 

Same for Giants and Vikings, but can not be sure about their next attempt for now. 

[crazycolt1]

My winning predictions are 

Bills, Bengals and Jags

49ers, Cowboys and Vikings

I will be rooting for the Vikings to win it all.

[King Colt]

The Bills for their four consecutive trips to the SB and losing all four. If not them then Cincy all the way.

[2006Coltsbestever]

I already made a playoff thread on Sunday night/Monday morning so this will be merged soon, thanks.

Same for me. 

 

Aside of that Bengals, Chargers would deserve it, too. 

Bengals because of loss in last years sb and Chargers had so much bad luck in recent years. 

[Myles]

I am more rooting against Dallas, Tampa Bay, New York and Baltimore.

[lollygagger8]

As long the Bills beat the Chefs - I'm good. 

 

[holeymoley99]

Just rooting for players : Hilton,Hines,Pascal,Houston,Odum.

[chad72]

Chiefs, Bills, 49ers, Vikings and that’s it in order

As long as 49ers do not lead by 28-3 in the Super Bowl at some point. 

 

Purdy would be the first and last Mr. Irrelevant Rookie SB Champion?

The 49ers were leading 20-10 going into the 4th quarter of their SB vs Chiefs and the Chiefs scored 21 unanswered.

Final four 

Bills over Jaguars 

49ers over Giants

 

SB 57

Bills over 49ers
