The five-month quest for Super Bowl 59 begins now. Who will hoist the Lombardi Trophy proud and high on the Superdome stage in New Orleans on Feb. 111?
All 32 teams have a reason to be optimistic, but there’s only room for one winner. With that all said, let’s dive into one bold reason why your favorite NFL team will win Super Bowl 59.
What will be the reason why your favorite team will win Super Bowl LIX?
Arizona Cardinals: High-Flying Offense
Kyler Murray looked like his old self again late last year after returning from surgery on a torn ACL that ended his 2022 campaign.
Murray formed strong chemistry with tight end Trey McBride, who caught 81 passes for 825 yards and three touchdowns last season. Arizona’s offense got an even greater boost with the arrival of Marvin Harrison Jr., who was drafted at No. 4 overall.
Throw in James Conner, and maybe Arizona’s offensive juggernaut propels this team to its first Super Bowl championship.
Atlanta Falcons: Kirk Cousins Is The Final Piece

The Falcons have a good defense, an elite offensive line, and three big-time weapons in Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts. The only thing holding them back last year was the QB position.
Not anymore. The Falcons paid Kirk Cousins $180 million to provide stability at QB once and for all. And if he takes advantage of the weaponry around him, the Falcons will be in play for a Super Bowl.
Baltimore Ravens: Lamar Jackson Is DUE
Jackson is carrying the “can’t win the big one” notion that plagued other great QBs like Peyton Manning and John Elway for years. News flash: Manning and Elway eventually broke through, so don’t give up on Lamar now.
Reaching last year’s AFC title game was a step forward for Jackson. The reigning MVP has a new weapon in Derrick Henry to complement Mark Andrews and Zay Flowers. Through in a top-five defense, and this just feels like the year it has to come together for Lamar. Right!?…right?!
Buffalo Bills: The Stefon Diggs Headache Is Gone
Josh Allen no longer has to force passes to the All-Pro wideout to keep him happy. No longer do the Bills have to deal with the me-first locker room headache that Diggs provided an endless quantity of.
Diggs, the dramatic diva, is gone. Now Allen can focus on winning with a rebuilt receiving corps featuring Keon Coleman, Curtis Samuel, and breakout candidate Khalil Shakir — a group of guys who are committed to winning above individual stats.
Carolina Panthers: Bryce Young’s Big Leap?
The Panthers have given second-year QB Bryce Young all the tools to bounce back from a tough rookie year. A young, offensive-minded coach in Dave Canales, a revamped offensive line, and a new set of weapons featuring Diontae Johnson and prized rookies Ja’Tavion Sanders and Jonathan Brooks.
Everything is there for Young to have a breakout season. If he makes a sophomore leap reminiscent of 1999 Peyton Manning, 2019 Lamar Jackson, or 2021 Joe Burow, the Panthers might be celebrating their first Super Bowl title in five months’ time.
Chicago Bears: Caleb Williams Has The Weapons
The first overall pick of 2024 has two consistent 1,000-yard receivers in DJ Moore and Keenan Allen and a five-star rookie prospect in Rome Odunze as his top-three pass-catchers. To say nothing of the D’Andre Swift-Khalil Herbert rushing duo or tight end Cole Kmet.
The task is simple for Williams: Just keep getting the ball out to your playmakers, and nobody will be able to stop this offensive machine that could end Chicago’s near-four-decade Super Bowl drought in 2024.
Cincinnati Bengals: Guess Who’s Back? (Burrow’s Back, Tell A Friend)
If Joe Burrow didn’t suffer a season-ending wrist injury last year, who knows? The Bengals just might have thwarted a Kansas City Chiefs’ three-peat.
In the last two years, Joe Burrow has been healthy; the Bengals have gone to two AFC Championship Games and one Super Bowl. So if Joe Cool stays healthy, these guys are a prime contender to win it all.
Cleveland Browns: Destroyers On Defense
We’re not sold on Deshaun Watson and are worried about Nick Chubb’s injury status. So, if there’s any reason for optimism this year, it’s the defense.
Cleveland’s D willed them to 11 wins last season despite a revolving door at quarterback. Why can’t reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett and the Browns’ stingy D do the job again in 2024?
Dallas Cowboys: Defensive Dawgs
We know most people focus on the Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb-led offense, but the Cowboys’ best hope at a Super Bowl comes through their defense.
We’ll get to see two All-Pro corners in Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland, on the field together after the former missed all but two games last year. Throw in superstar linebacker Micah Parsons, and you have the makings of a championship-caliber defense.
And you know what they say: Defense wins championships.
Denver Broncos: Sean Payton & Bo Nix
It was clear as day last year that Sean Payton never wanted to work with Russell Wilson, but he still got a solid bounce-back year out of the now-ex-Bronco.
Well, the future Hall of Fame head coach now gets to run the offense with a quarterback he actually wants in Bo Nix. The rookie out of Oregon has even drawn some comparisons to Drew Brees. Just saying.
Detroit Lions: Unfinished Business
Dan Campbell’s group brought Motown its first division title since 1993, as well as their first playoff win, and the NFC title game appearance in 1991.
The Lions blew a 17-point lead to the 49ers in their heartbreaking NFC Championship Game loss. All we can say is that it’s unfinished business for Campbell and a star-studded Detroit roster that might be the best in all of football.
Green Bay Packers: Jordan Love Will Be Unstoppable
Love played like an MVP in the second half of 2024, powering the Pack to a playoff appearance and a stunning blowout win over Dallas on Wild Card Weekend.
He promises to get better in his second full season as a starter, especially with a healthy Christian Watson and the arrival of former rushing champion Josh Jacobs.
Houston Texans: The Big 5
CJ Stroud had an MVP-like season as a rookie last year and helped Houston to an AFC South division crown and an elite eight appearance.
Well, the Texans’ “Big 3” of Stroud, Nico Collins and Tank Dell on offense is now a “Big 5” with Stefon Diggs and Joe Mixon joining the party. This Houston offense could be like 2007 Patriots or 2013 Broncos good. Seriously.
This unit can easily drop 30-plus points a game and overpower opponents to a Super Bowl championship.
Indianapolis Colts: Bully Ball
Who knows how Anthony Richardson will perform after missing the majority of his rookie year? But with a top-tier o-line, a superstar running back in Jonathan Taylor, and a potent front seven that finished fifth in sacks last year, Indy can easily win the old-fashioned way: Bully ball in the trenches, baby.
Jacksonville Jaguars: The Aerial Assault
It’s scary to think that Trevor Lawrence has five players who can realistically put up 1,000 yards of offense here: Christian Kirk, Gabe Davis, Brian Thomas Jr., Evan Engram, and Travis Etienne Jr.
If T-Law shakes off last year’s ugly late-season collapse and maximizes the star-studded supporting cast around him, the Jags’ aerial assault can totally destroy opposing defenses en route to the franchise’s first championship.
Kansas City Chiefs: Patrick Mahomes’ Best Supporting Cast Yet
Mahomes won a Super Bowl last year with a lackluster wide receiver room that had nobody after Rashee Rice.
Well, Mahomes now has Marquise Brown, Xavier Worthy, and a returning JuJu Smith-Schuster to help Rice and Travis Kelce in the passing game. To say nothing of Isiah Pacheco or Skyy Moore.
This is the best-supporting cast Mahomes has had on offense. Time to complete the three-peat!
Las Vegas Raiders: Defense Wins Championships
The Raiders finished 8-and-9 last year thanks to the ninth-best scoring defense that made up for the offensive shortcomings brought on by lackluster QB play.
Well, the Raiders defense should be even better in 2024 with a full year of Antonio Pierce as head coach…not to mention that they signed former Miami Dolphins star defensive tackle Christian Wilkins to bolster the Maxx Crosby-led front seven.
Los Angeles Chargers: Finally, Competent Coaching!
The Chargers have fielded one of football’s best rosters in the Justin Herbert era. The only thing holding them back all this time was incompetent coaching.
Well, Brandon Staley is long gone — and in comes national championship-winning head coach Jim Harbaugh. Remember how quickly he turned around the 49ers over a decade ago? Why can’t Jim do the same on a talented Bolts bunch that just needs the right coach to put all the puzzle pieces together?
Assuming Harbaugh comes as advertised, the Chargers will emerge as a perennial contender real soon. And “soon” could be 2024!
Los Angeles Rams: Matthew Stafford & His “Big Three”
Stafford showed last year he still has plenty left in that arm, leading the Rams to a 10-win season and playoff berth.
Stafford was able to bounce back thanks to the emergence of rookie wideout Puka Nacua and running back Kyren Williams. Those two and Cooper Kupp helped the Rams’ offense return to the usual dominant form under Sean McVay.
Miami Dolphins: Speed Kills
The Dolphins’ offense beat down opposing teams last year because of the lightning-quick speed across the field — namely Tyreek Hil, Jaylen Waddle, Raheem Mostert, and De’Von Achane.
Tua Tagovailoa just has to get the ball in their hands, and they’ll do the rest. Same formula as last year, except it’s gotta work against elite opponents this time.
Minnesota Vikings: The Two J’s & TJ
If Minny has any hope this year after losing JJ McCarthy for the year to injury, it’s their three-headed receiving monster: Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and TJ Hockenson.
New England Patriots: Lockdown Secondary
Christian Gonzalez was playing like an all-pro before a shoulder injury cut his rookie season short. Jonathan Jones is still a quality lockdown corner, and Kyle Dugger and Jabrill Peppers have formed a top-level safety tandem.
To compete this year, the Pats will have to squeeze out low-scoring wins. That starts with the secondary clamping down on the passing game.
New Orleans Saints: There’s Just Enough Balance
The Saints churn out a top-10 defense each year, but the inconsistent offense has been an issue for three years now.
There’s optimism that it’ll improve this year. New OC Klint Kubiak is a breath of fresh air over Pete Carmichael’s stale and predictable system.
Derek Carr, Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave, and Juwan Johnson should provide offensive stability, and the balance on both sides could help NOLA make a surprise Super Bowl run.
New York Giants: Fearsome Front Seven
A Saquon Barkley-less offense led by Daniel Jones isn’t going to give the Giants much reason for optimism.
But hey, adding ex-Panthers superstar Brian Burns to complement stars Dexter Lawrence and Kayvon Thibodeaux was a savvy piece of work by GM Joe Schoen. This year’s Giants could follow the formula of the franchise’s four Super Bowl championship-winning teams and win it all with its explosive and unblockable pass rush.
New York Jets: Mr. Rodgers’ Neighborhood
A healthy Aaron Rodgers makes most teams a Super Bowl contender. The Jets had a great defense last year and have plenty of playmakers for the four-time MVP, namely Garrett Wilson, Mike Williams, and Breece Hal.
Welcome back to title contention, Jets fans. Good to have you back, Mr. Rodgers.
Philadelphia Eagles: Road To Redemption
After losing Super Bowl 57 in heartbreaking fashion, the Eagles looked like the team to beat again by winning 10 of their first 11 games. Then they imploded by losing five of their final six games before getting humiliated by the 9-and-8 Bucs in the Wild Card Round.
I mean, we know the superstar talent is in place here. They went to a Super Bowl two seasons ago. They added Saquon Barkley, Bryce Huff, CJ Gardner-Johnson, Cooper DeJean, and Quinyon Mitchell to shore up the remaining roster holes.
Pittsburgh Steelers: A Solved QB Dilemma?
The TJ Watt-led defense and offensive studs like George Pickens and Najee Harris are enough to keep Pittsburgh in the playoff race. But the Steelers were never going to win a Super Bowl with a Kenny Pickett-Mason Rudolph-Mitch Trubisky QB room.
Well, the Steelers may have solved the issue once and for all with Russell Wilson and/or Justin Fields. Hate on those two all you want, but they put up good numbers on lousy Denver and Chicago teams, respectively, in 2023.
If Wilson or Fields can provide above-average QB play, that’ll be enough to give the Steelers a chance to win it all.
San Francisco 49ers: Lady Luck HAS To Be On Their Side
You can call Kyle Shanahan and his 49ers chokers all you want. But when you lose two close Super Bowls and a pair of NFC title games in five years, the explanation is simple: Lady luck just isn’t on your side.
The 49ers have the deepest roster in football. I mean, eventually, the ball has to bounce their way, right? It’s like betting on red in roulette every time and falling short five times in a row. Eventually, it balances out.
Seattle Seahawks: Legion Of Boom 2.0?
If new head coach Mike Macdonald proves to be the defensive guru the Seahawks expect, we may have the return of the Legion of Boom on our hands.
Riq Woolen and 2023 rookie sensation Devon Witherspoon could be the league’s best cornerback tandem in 2024. Julian Love is a rising star at safety, too.
Legion of Boom 2.0? That would make the ‘Hawks a Super Bowl player again.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Dominating The Trenches
The Bucs have one of the league’s best front sevens and offensive lines. They can wear down their opponents with the “Bully Ball” style of football if you care to ask Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs about Super Bowl 55.
We’re not sure if Baker Mayfield will repeat his career year, but the Bucs’ powerful o-line, ground game, stingy rush D, and explosive pass-rush ensure they’ll keep winning in the trenches. You can still win a Super Bowl with old-school ball, folks!
Tennessee Titans: Will Levis’ Three-Headed WR Monster
Tennessee signed ex-Jaguars star Calvin Ridley and two-time 1K receiver Tyler Boyd to complement DeAndre Hopkins, forming a dangerous wide receiver trio.
If Will Levis makes the most of that three-headed monster, the Titans just might ride the aerial assault to a Super Bowl championship.
Washington Commanders: The Jayden Daniels Show
If you want us to be real, the only shot of the Commanders winning Super Bowl 59 is if rookie QB Jayden Daniels has an MVP-like season. Yanno, similar to CJ Stroud for Houston last year.
Maybe Daniels shows up as advertised and just goes off immediately with his electrifying dual-threat play. Maybe there’s no stopping Daniels, Terry McLaurin, Austin Ekeler, or Brian Robinson Jr.? Maybe it all leads to an improbable Super Bowl for Dan Quinn’s squad.
