The Strongest Football Teams by Conference
- Filed under: Casinos

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.
However, it looks like the Colts are right there in the thick of it all, still undefeated and playing great football. I’d call them the favorites for now at least, though New England or Pittsburgh could easily emerge.
Let’s look at the NFC next. Any conversation about the NFC has to start with the New Orleans Saints, still undefeated through eight weeks.
Many call Drew Brees the best quarterback in the NFL, and with good reason. His numbers are simply incredible, and the high powered offense in New Orleans has been virtually unstoppable to date.
The Saints are the favorite to emerge in the NFC at the moment. However, they’ll have to fight off some other teams playing great football. The Vikings and the Eagles could very well be just as strong, and the Cowboys are finally beginning to get things together. Looming not too far behind are the defending NFC champion Cardinals, and of course, the New York Giants.
