Earlier tonight I was thinking about which teams haven’t won a Superbowl yet when I realized that every division has at least one “loser” team with no Lombardi trophy. Which division do you think will be first? EDIT: And of course I spelled “NFC Eaat” wrong. _sigh_ ---

I would say the Chargers, but I think the clock is starting to run out on Philip Rivers, much like it is for Eli and Big Ben. Whereas the Eagles are younger. So I went with NFC East. It’s definitely NOT going to be the AFC South. What a stinker of a division. The Texans could get a win in the next few years, but it will be a long time before either the Jaguars or Titans get theirs. ---

I would say the AFC West, since the Chargers are consistently competitive and make the playoffs fairly often. Hey this year could be their year, they are looking pretty good! ---

I think the best bet is pretty clearly the NFC East. Sad to say, but the Eagles are a well-run organization with a smart coach and a young team. The Chargers aren’t any kind of disaster, but they’ve been getting by just on Philip Rivers’ near-greatness for a long time now. Unless they win it with him in the next few years, I think they return to the back of the queue. ---

NFC East and AFC West seem to be the best choices, but I went with the Chargers because they have the incredible good fortune of being in the same division as the Raiders. ---

Yeah, but the Chargers aren’t going to find themselves in an AFC Championship game matchup with the Raiders anytime soon. I don’t see how that improves their chances. ---

I had to vote for my Bills. I don’t entirely believe it, but I couldn’t vote for anyone else. ---

Arizona has a good team. But they’re in a tough division, so it may be awhile ---

> [@markdash](#): > > Being in a division with a hapless team = more likely you will win the division. There’s a school of thought that that’s been part of the Patriots’ problem in January in recent years - they don’t get battle-hardened enough for the playoffs, coming out of a division full of Bills, Jets, and Fins, and with a resultingly inflated record that often gives them a bye. ---

Eagles stand the best chance. The Chargers’ chance was from 2005-2010. ---

Frankly, I’d say there will be some realignments, new teams appearing and old teams disappearing, before that happens.
