People say a Super Bowl rematch can't happen. Well, it can, it's just statistically unlikely. It is, however, more statistically likely for the best two teams play in the Super Bowl than any other single result. The Seahawks are still, IMHO, the best team in the league. They've lost a little, but their closest competitors (the 49ers) seem to be in worse shape. The schedule could get them, though, as 10 games against the NFC and AFC West could prove difficult to navigate, and I don't particularly like the Seahawks' chances on the road in January against either the Saints or Packers, the two teams that are most likely to beat them there.
The Broncos still seem to be the class of the AFC, although the Patriots are right there. Anybody other than these two teams coming out of the AFC would be a significant surprise to me, wheres the NFC has 4-5 teams I could see making a run. I see the Eagles as a potential dark horse, given their schedule could give them a big edge towards home field advantage in the NFC.
