We are less than 24 hours removed from Super Bowl Lix, and some NFL fans have already proceeded in the season 2025-26.
Super Bowl LX is scheduled to take place in Santa Clara, California on February 8, 2026 and there are already some teams that must be considered favorite to appear in this game. The Eagles of Philadelphia seem ready to make another way to the Lombardi trophy. Although they suffered from a Beatdown, leaders are always a threat to win the Super Bowl, as long as Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid are together.
With the franchises already looking at the Super Bowl LX, let’s identify the four teams that will probably appear in the big game next year.
Philadelphia Eagles
Eagles have a legal shot to win back-to-back titles.
Jalen Hurts has a contract for at least three more years, while Saquon has another season before Philly has a possible exception after 2026. Then if he continues to place numbers as he did this season, I expect to sign a brief expansion with Eagles soon. Meanwhile, four of their five aggressive ports is a contract for at least another year, which means that the eagles will run back in 2025 with the best offensive line on NFL.
They will need to make some business decisions on the defensive side of the ball. I expect that the Linebacker Zack Baun will sign a high expansion of the off-season contract after led Philly to face during the regular season and the playoffs. Defense Linemen Josh Sweat and Milton Williams also won renewed contracts in the way they played in the Super Bowl.
Philly should replace certain security copies/important contributors on both sides of the ball. The striker Lineman Mekhi Bectton, the defensive final Brandon Graham, who runs back Kenneth Gainwell, and Linebacker Oren Burks are scheduled to become free agents at this time. Still, I am sure the eagles will find stable replacements for all these types.
With most of the basic pieces and coaches of Philly staying in the team for the next two years, they will have to compete for a Super Bowl in 2025-26.
Leaders of Kansas City
Just because the leaders lost the Super Bowl Lix, that doesn’t mean it’s not on the line to fight for the Super Bowl LX. In fact, I would argue that the leaders 2025-26 would be a greater threat to win the Super Bowl from the leaders of 2024-25 because they will motivate people to forget the blow they suffered last night.
Patrick Mahomes is still a contract with the leaders for at least the next three years. Meanwhile, coach Andy Reid has signed an out -of -season extension that will keep him in KC by 2029, unless he decides to retire before. With these two who still lead the category, leaders are threatening to make the Super Bowl every year, as is Tom Brady and Bill Belichick for the patriots of New England.
At the same time, All-Prro Chris Jones’ defensive lineman is scheduled to play at least two more seasons for KC, so the best Chiefs defense player will return next season. In addition, Travis Kelce will probably return to the team in 2025-26, so there are two massively important contributors to Kansas City next year.
Heads should be active in free service and plan. Six of the most productive broader receivers and their backs are scheduled to be free agents at this time. They should also understand if they want to bring back aggressive Lineman Trey Smith and Nick Bolton Linebacker.
If they can find their skill positions, sign Bolton and make some upgrades along the offensive line, there is no reason that KC cannot reach a fourth straight super bowl in 2026.
Detroit Lions
Although I am a fan of Green Bay Packers, I will be the first to admit that I thought the Detroit lions would run away with the NFC. Despite their injuries, they managed to record the most wins in just one time in the history of the franchise with 15. Unfortunately, the injuries and poor preparation by Detroit’s aggressive and defensive coordinators who brought them to the 2025 playoffs of 2025 Nfl. He had children such as defenders Linemen Aidan Hutchinson and Alim McNeil played against Washington Cammanders that the game may have gone differently.
The Lions lost the two best NFL coordinators, but many of the other basic pieces from 2024-25 will still be there next season. Coach Dan Campbell, General Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs, striker Lineman Penei Sewell and the wide AMon-R St. Brown will return to Detroit next year. They will also return several defensive contributors, including Linebacker Jack Campbell, Cornerback Amik Robertson, Kerby Joseph and Linebacker Alex Anzalone.
Aidan Hutchinson will play a huge role in the success of the Lions next year. If he can perform the following year the way he was playing before his leg breaks, then he could potentially win the defensive player of the year. This type of contribution would be invaluable for a team that just delivered 45 points to the playoffs.
There will be some replacements throughout the roster. With Carlton Davis III, Kindle Vildor, Ifeatu Melifonwu, Khalil Dorsey and Emmanuel Mosley becoming free agents, the Lions should either rewrite some of these children or replace them through the plan and free agency. They will also need to add some offensive depth with Kevin Zeitler and Dan Skipper who is scheduled to try the free agent market.
Most importantly, Detroit must offset the production they lost to the defense coordinator and the aggressive coordinator. If former Denver Broncos Game Coordinator John Morton and former Detroit Linebackers Kelvin Sheppard coach can keep their own as players, then the Lions will be in the first place to compete for the Super Bowl in 2026.
Buffalo accounts
Buffalo accounts are right there on the thickness of the Super Bowl hunting with Kansas City leaders, but they have not yet managed to overcome the blow. Still, they should be considered one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl LX.
Goalkeeper Josh Allen had exactly the best year of his career with only three Pro Bowlers on the roster (two of which were aggressive linemen). Now, it is with General Manager Brandon Beane to surround Allen with talent. James Cook is the second best offensive weapon of accounts, but after him, there is a significant fall in skill positions. It does not help the Buffalo two receiver, Mack Hollins, is scheduled to be a free agent of this off -season. The number two running back by Ty Johnson will also be a free agent. Also, Amari Cooper, the spacious, who was negotiating in the middle of the season, will probably try the free delegation this spring. There is a possibility of Buffalo losing three major aggressive contributors to this out -of -season, which cannot afford.
Although they have to spend a lot on the free dealership and use the chapter plan wisely to give Josh Allen more weapons, accounts must improve the defender. After two defensive Pro Bowlers in 2023, Buffalo had only one defender named All-Prro or Pro Bowler during the last two times (Cornerback Taron Johnson was named second team last year). This is not good enough for a team trying to win a super bowl at the moment.
Buffalo has to make some launchers this out -of -season. By doing a trade for Cleveland’s Myles Garrett or Las Vegas’s Maxx Crosby would be the kind of decision that could change the skin of this group and AFC as a whole. Also, he could not hurt sign a real number one like Cincinatti’s Tee Higgins or Davante Adams of New York.
Buffalo will have to compete for a Super Bowl next season if they do not make any of the aforementioned moves. However, they will be regarded as a much more serious threat to lifting the Lombardi trophy if they can bring another star or two.
