5 Super Bowl contenders after Week 11 of 2021 NFL season

Who is the readiest to contend for the Super Bowl?

There are seven games left in the NFL and eight weeks of the season, which includes every team's bye week. Based on the remaining weeks left in the hallway sample size that has been given, five teams have a clear-cut shot to the big show, but which teams are they?

Here's a look at five Super Bowl contenders heading into Week 11.

Which team is the strongest Super Bowl contender?

#5 - Buffalo Bills - (6-3)

Even being put at number five on a list doesn't necessarily make the Buffalo Bills the weakest team on this list. They have simply just made some missteps in their eventual return to glory.

Losing last week to the ailing Jacksonville Jaguars would humble any team, and they answered in turn by smashing the New York Jets. The Bills are +145 for points differential in the league, which is considerably more than any other team. They contain one of the strongest defenses in the league, and they have, quite simply, done what most strong teams do: lose to lesser teams.

The Bills lost in the AFC Championship game to the Kansas City Chiefs, though they look as ready as ever to move past that level this season. Super Bowl contenders might be at their fingertips, they just need to clean up their play.

#4 - Dallas Cowboys - (7-3)

This season, the Dallas Cowboys are a sneakily good team. They usually get a lot more press when they are winning because they are "America's Team." However, other teams have been talked about more than the Cowboys, and they seem ripe for a Super Bowl run.

Dak Prescott is enjoying one of the best seasons of his career and is likely a lock for Comeback Player of the Year. On top of having a top-five quarterback in their ranks, they also have Trevon Diggs. The second-year cornerback currently has eight interceptions. There are seven games left, and he has nearly the same amount of interceptions that the leader in 2020 had, who is none other than Xavien Howard of the Dolphins.

Which team is the strongest Super Bowl contender?

#3 - Arizona Cardinals - (8-2)

The Arizona Cardinals are one of the three teams on this list that currently hold an 8-2 record, and one of the best in the league that has a shot at Super Bowl gold. Ranking the Arizona Cardinals at number three may seem like a bit of blasphemy, but when they are without Kyler Murray, the team seems to fall apart. That doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Kyler Murray is a dynamic playmaker who adds an entirely different element to the offensive prowess of the Cardinals, but what do they do if he gets hurt again? Would they crumble as they did against the Carolina Panthers? The Cardinals are a powerful team that has a good defense, but without Murray, they may not be a Super Bowl contender.

#2 - Green Bay Packers - (8-2)

The Green Bay Packers have also been a sneakily good team that seems to be in the limelight for the wrong reasons, particularly because of Aaron Rodgers and his Covid debacle. However, they are one of the strongest winning teams in the league, and Rodgers has done wonders with a sub-par receiving room.

Their defense seems to be getting better and better by the week, and the Packers are becoming a scary good team in the NFC. They might be the strongest team in the NFC. Even over the Cardinals and Cowboys. They will just need to figure out a way to not lose in the NFC Championship game and make it to the Super Bowl.

#1 - Tennessee Titans - (8-2)

Many thought that the Tennessee Titans were riding their season on the legs of Derrick Henry, and for the better part of their first handful of games, they were. However, Henry got hurt, and the Titans have found a way to soldier on without him.

Signing the once-top running back in Adrian Peterson has helped some, but the Titans team is a lot better than people give them credit for, especially with a defense that has Harold Landry III, one of the best pass rushers in the game. It's easier to count them out, but the Titans are beating some of the top talents in the entire league. The Titans are the strongest current Super Bowl contender.
