It’s not about how you start, but how you finish.
Teams that are hot to start the season eventually end up cooling off and either limp into the postseason, or don’t qualify at all.
Then you have the actual contenders you know for a fact that are going to be there because of their proven track record as well as their current roster of players.
According to Colin Cowherd, there are six legitimate Super Bowl contenders in the league right now, so the FOX Sports 1 personality laid out those teams for all to see.
In tier one: the Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
In tier two: the Green Bay Packers, Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.
