Kansas City and Philadelphia meet in the Super Bowl for the second time in three seasons on Sunday, and it’s reasonable to believe these teams could face off a few more times on the game’s biggest stage in the coming years.
But before you pencil in another Chiefs-Eagles clash for 2026, let’s look at three other teams that could win it all next February.
Baltimore Ravens
A third Lombardi in Baltimore’s trophy case is long overdue.
The Ravens have routinely played championship-caliber football during the last few regular seasons only to be undone by costly turnovers and uncharacteristic lapses in the playoffs.
It’s safe to assume Baltimore will return to the postseason in 2025, as there aren’t many weak links in a Ravens roster that should retain all of its league-leading nine Pro Bowlers from a year ago.
All-Pro quarterback Lamar Jackson and 1,900-yard rusher Derrick Henry will again spearhead Baltimore’s explosive offense, which last year became the first team ever to tally 4,000 passing yards and 3,000 rushing yards in a season.
The Ravens’ defense is better positioned for a solid campaign after enduring some growing pains under first-year defensive coordinator Zach Orr. Baltimore boasted the league’s top scoring defense during the final eight weeks of the regular season and should remain stout throughout 2025.
The Ravens have enough talent on both sides of the ball to beat anyone, but can they finally avoid beating themselves when it matters most?
