Coop Makes His Super Bowl Predictions

The NFL regular season is quickly winding down. With only a few weeks left until playoff action begins, I thought it would be a good time to make some BOLD predictions on the teams I think have a shot at making it to Super Bowl XLIX.

Green Bay Packers

As a Bears fan, I hate to say it, but the Packers look like the best team in football. Green Bay boasts an explosive offense -- led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers -- that has looked virtually unstoppable throughout the season. The question with this team is: can the defense play well enough to keep opposing offenses from racking up the yardage and points? If they can, then the Pack have a great shot at making it to Phoenix.

New England Patriots

When your team has Tom Brady, you always have a chance for success. New England might be the most balanced team in the NFL, with a solid defense and an offense that can put up major points. The Pats dropped a game to Green Bay earlier this season, but don't be surprised to see a rematch for the Super Bowl title.

Philadelphia Eagles

Offense, offense, offense. That about sums up the Eagles. Coach Chip Kelly has Philadelphia firing on all cylinders, and quarterback Mark Sanchez is revitalizing his career in the City of Brotherly Love. Put it all together, and you have a team that will be dangerous come playoff time.

Denver Broncos

I won't lie, this has a lot to do with the Peyton Manning effect. It's hard to pick against a
player who has been so good for so long. There are some definite weaknesses for this team, though. They haven't responded well at all in big games and when they look bad, they look really bad. With that being said, I think Denver has enough talent and can put up enough points to be a contender.
