Early Super Bowl Prediction: Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Philadelphia Eagles
When looking at the Eagles, I think they have a pretty clear path back to the Super Bowl. They still have the best roster in the league and shouldn't have too much trouble at least making it back to the Super Bowl and they might even win it again this time.
When looking at the Steelers, though, I am very confident that they will make a return to the postseason and possibly go all the way to the Super Bowl. Kenny Pickett looked much better towards the end of last season and the team has looked great in preseason. They absolutely dominated the Buffalo Bills starters, and they looked like the real deal out there. If this defense remains healthy and the offense takes another leap with Kenny Pickett, George Pickens, and Dionte Johnson this team has tons of potential to make a playoff run all the way to the Super Bowl.
