I know you've been waiting 87-ish years to hear this.... It's the Lions.
I think this is right. Detroit has been the most consistently impressive in my eyes1. Det
2. KC
Better defense than DET, better QB. DET has better oline and skill players. It would be a great Super Bowl.Anyone voting for anyone other than KC has it wrong. They are the defending champs and are undefeated. They are the best until proven otherwise.

Points differential has me voting Detroit. Detroit would have blown out a team like the Raiders (ranked 23rd in the league against the run). Kansas City reminds me of the 2022 Vikings. They are finding ways to win but it is not convincing.
I think Buffalo is really hitting their stride. Lots of people keep picking against them (a lot had Seattle this week) and they just keep rolling teams.Agreed.Better defense than DET, better QB.

3-Peat coming up…Chiefs all day long
I think another thing in KCs favor that nobody else since probably prime NE had, is that intimidation factor. I don't mean from like a physicality standpoint, just that for whatever reason teams tend to forget who they are and do dumb things when playing KC. Like today, the Raiders just stopped scheming plays for Bowers, or the Ravens, who just stopped giving it to Henry despite never being down more than 1 score.For all those voting KC, if Likely's foot is one inch back are you voting Detroit?
This reminds me of all the Philly and Dallas people last year getting excited because they were beating up on cream puffs. You really do have to factor in schedule and how teams look into the equation.
KC is the only team in NFL history to start the 2024 season at 7-0. It's never been done before.
As someone who absolutely loathes KC and absolutely loves seeing Detroit beat up on everyone...
It's KC.
Simple as that. Call me when the Super Bowl has ended, and MAYBE I'll change my mind.
I’m a Steelers fan and they need a lot more than just 1 receiver to become the best team in football. Their offensive line is a disaster. Until they fix that (which is mainly an issue because of injuries), they don’t have a shot in hell against a team like the Chiefs.Steelers are pretenders unless they come up with another good WR. If they would happen to get one, and I'm not talking Mike Williams - like, with their defense.... look out.

So refreshing to hear a Browns fan provide the definition of success for us.
Fun fact I learned just now: September was National Self-Awareness Month.
I love that what you took from what I wrote is lions slander
The mistake you are making is assuming the Ravens win the game if Likely's foot is one inch back. Okay, what happens if he scores and they go for 2 (which it appears they were going to) and don't get it? What then?For all those voting KC, if Likely's foot is one inch back are you voting Detroit?

I looked at [it] as being ironic because
1) you and I are wholly unqualified, as Lake Erie brethren - Bills Mafia, too - deciding what it takes to win championships, and
2) it is incredibly lacking in self-awareness to not realize point #1.
At no point did it occur to me you were slandering Detroit or the Lions.
Their defense stinks this year. They are bottom 10 in both yards allowed and point allowed per game. Hard to trust that a team with a defense that bad to get it done and win three playoff games in the AFC to even get to the Super Bowl, especially when they have a QB who always goes from great to not-so good in the playoffs.The Ravens are the one I have a hard time figuring out. Sometimes they look unbeatable. Sometimes they look like they did yesterday. Shark Pool way lower on them than Las Vegas.
While I agree as a rule that you have to be at the champs, the question was who is the best team in the NFL through week 8. So the Chiefs winning back-to-back Super Bowls doesn't matter with respect to the question.But until they take down the b2b champs, who remain unbeaten, you can't say you're #1.
