Much as the NFL makeseveryeffort to emphasize its year-over-year parity – and there is adequate reality to it provided the consistent turnover of the playoff field and, usually, divisional standings as the draft and totallyfree company conspire to keep the league’s variation at a relative minimum – it likewise appears like the bluebloods and ne’er-do-wells stay established at the polarities of the pecking order.
Over the past 20 Super Bowls, there have just been 3 novice winners: the New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks and, most justrecently, Philadelphia Eagles 5 years back. During that period, the 17 other Lombardi Trophies were spread amongst 10 franchises all including to their title count – the New England Patriots taking 5 while the Kansas City Chiefs, New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers each won a set.
So when will we see a fresh champion, which shouldn’t be excessively groundbreaking offered 12 of the NFL’s 32 franchises still sanctuary’t won the Super Bowl? Let’s rank their practicality – least to most – looking ahead to Super Bowl 58 (asterisk represents groups that have never played on Super Sunday):
NFL MOCK DRAFT: Race for quarterbacks is on with 4 passers in top 10 selects
TRENDING UP?: Six NFL groups located to make significant development throughout 2023 offseason
TRENDING DOWN?: Six NFL groups in jeopardy of debilitating obstacles throughout 2023 offseason
12. Tennessee Titans
Are they the worst group in the NFL? No, not yet anyhow. But they ended the 2022 season with an AFC-high seven-game losing streak, notable to complete in the conference’s worst department. And it appears like this company’s journey to rock bottom is continuous … significance it might be simply as likely Nashville will host its veryfirst Super Bowl in a brand-new arena that might be online by the 2026 season – possibly about the exactsame time the Titans will be pertinent onceagain? – as it is Music City’s group will be contending for a crown.
11. Houston Texans*
Unlike their AFC South competitors (and forefathers) in Tennessee, they may have bottomed out. They lastly have a head coach (DeMeco Ryans) who appears like more than a alternative instructor. Still a lot of work to do priorto reaching a phase they and the Oilers have neverever rose. But the Texans are at least located to indication quality free representatives this year and, if absolutelynothing else, must at last draft the franchise quarterback who’s been missingouton because Deshaun Watson’s ignominious departure.

9. Atlanta Falcons
They might not even be a quarterback away … from contending for the NFC South title. But regardlessof a great collection of young gamers, a talented coach (Arthur Smith) and substantial free-agent purchasing power this year, gonna take more time – and mostlikely more than Desmond Ridder under center – for this group to be a genuine Super Bowl competitor.
8. Cleveland Browns*
They relocation into 2023 and beyond with Watson as their full-time quarterback … along with the truth that he’ll consume up a quarter of the wage cap by himself this season as his cost tag significantly limits what the Browns can do in complimentary firm and the draft – Houston owning Cleveland’s first- and third-round choices this year. The Browns oughtto be a strong group presuming Watson can regain his pre-suspension Pro Bowl kind, however the AFC North is normally a bloodbath and – these days – simple microcosm for the conference at big.
7. Carolina Panthers
New HC Frank Reich has Super Bowl experi
