The NFL, amidst a tense offseason, has seen the conclusion of the 2024-2025 NBA season with the Oklahoma City Thunder capturing their first championship since the franchise was renamed, moving away from Seattle’s Super Sonics. It’s pretty cool to witness such historical moments, right? All the dedication and emotional investment from fans must feel rewarding, especially for those whose teams are still waiting for that ultimate victory.
With that in mind, we’re eager to see which teams will finally claim their first Super Bowl. So, let’s dive into the discussion about this week’s topic.
Which franchise do you want to see win the Super Bowl in 2025?
Michael: As someone rooting for a team that hasn’t yet claimed the Lombardi Trophy (Go Chargers!), that’s my obvious pick. Honestly, if you’re not on the Bolt train, the history surrounding those championship games is just heartbreaking.
They reached four Super Bowls in a row from ’91 to ’94 but didn’t win any, losing to NFC East teams each time, which is, well, gut-wrenching. Can you imagine following your team through four seasons, hoping each time that maybe this will be it? The suspense must feel unbearable.
Yet, credit to the fanbase—they’re incredibly loyal and vibrant. Bills Mafia definitely deserves to celebrate and hopes Josh Allen can finally add a championship ring to his growing collection.
RJ: If there’s a team yet to win a Super Bowl that’s likely to do so, I’d put Buffalo high on that list. They seem poised, although I wonder if they might stumble again. It’s tough when you’re up against strong rivals like the Chiefs and, of course, the Bengals might also be a factor to consider.
The fans truly deserve a championship. They’ve waited long enough, but it’s hard to pin down which year will finally be theirs.
Which franchise would you like to see win the Super Bowl in 2025?
RJ: The Eagles are fresh from a Super Bowl win; it’s hard to even think about that without recalling some personal pains, especially being a Cowboys fan myself.
Washington’s struggles make me want to pick them—but honestly, that feels a bit cliché. I don’t have a strong dislike for East teams outside NFC competition, but I do enjoy reminding fans of even successful teams like the 49ers that they’ve been waiting longer for a Super Bowl than the Cowboys. It’s like, come on, really?
Michael: The Chiefs seem to have sacrificed a lot to avoid seeing another Super Bowl win for a good while, especially with the Eagles having handily beaten them before. You’ve got to appreciate the complexity of this rivalry.
As for other teams, the Bengals or Rams could do well to ace the Lombardi Trophy too. With the Bengals being more local rivals, there’s that added competitive tension since Justin Herbert needs to start building his prowess alongside Joe Burrow.
How worried should the Browns be about Chedure Sanders on a scale of 1-10?
Michael: When looking at this situation without bias, I wouldn’t directly connect Sanders’ current troubles to his potential as an NFL quarterback. Yet, starting your career in the middle of such issues can’t be positive. If there’s smoke, there’s usually a fire, right?
I’d rate this at about 8. This isn’t just a minor issue; anyone in legal trouble is almost always under immense scrutiny, and it’s concerning. His father once spoke about how mature Chedur was, but I can’t help but wonder about that now.
RJ: I prefer not to judge others too harshly; everyone slips up. Still, it would be great if Browns news were focused on something else, especially if he’s to become a key player one day.
It’s frustrating to have such headlines surrounding them. It’s not just a good situation.
What’s your dream NFL stadium visit?
RJ: As many start planning their fall trips, are you hoping to catch an NFL game live or perhaps a college football experience? Today, let’s talk about the pro teams.
For me, I’d love to visit the Arrowhead Stadium. The buzz around there during a game is electric. If I had to see the Chiefs, I’d pick a Raiders match. Both are iconic, but the atmosphere between those teams is something else.
Michael: Believe it or not, I haven’t made it to Sofi Stadium yet! It’s high on my bucket list, primarily to witness the famous Oculus board in person and soak in the atmosphere among the vibrant Charger colors. And yes, I think Lambeau Field should be on everyone’s list. You just can’t replicate that sense of history there; it’s special.
Count me in for some cheese curds while I’m at it!
