We have seven weeks of football behind us, and things are slowly beginning to take shape in each conference. While there's no clear favorite in the AFC and the NFC, there are teams who've asserted themselves as forces to be reckoned with and definite contenders.
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.
The first team that deserves a mention is the Pittsburgh Steelers. While they were surprise losers to the Bears and the Bengals, they've since improved with some great football. Everything is clicking in Pittsburgh after a shaky start, and the team has its sights set on another Super Bowl win.
While things do look great in Pittsburgh, the Patriots have followed a similar course. A rough beginning to the season seems to have smoothed out, and New England is playing the dominant type of football that we all witnessed two seasons ago. The Denver Broncos have also started the season with a bang, and could very easily find themselves in the playoffs.
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.
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. - 29967
