Who Are the Top NFL Teams This 2023?
The National Football League, or NFL, is a major professional football league hosting numerous tournaments annually. It has been around since 1920, and the teams you see and cheer for today have been around since then. As such, these teams continuously improve and learn from their past performances.
With the Super Bowl LVII behind us, it’s time to update your top teams this 2023 with the following. You may already know these teams due to their popularity but don’t think that they’re the same as before. These teams will show you something different in each game, and you better look forward to it!
Kansas City Chiefs
Many think that the Kansas City Chiefs is a dynasty, but while they’ve won numerous overall games compared to other teams in the past seasons, they’re still not a dynasty! This team still has to sharpen its tools and equip itself with the perfect roster of players.
Indeed, it would be in the team’s best interests to improve their defense. Sure, the game plan against the Bengals was immaculate; other teams, like the Cincinnati Bengals, had two chances to take the lead.
Still, they’re getting close! As evident in the NFL lines of several sports books – the Kansas City Chiefs is the top favorite! This team has numerous skillful players like Mecole Hardman, Jerick McKinnon, and Juju Smith-Schuster. And, of course, we can’t forget the beloved Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.
You can trust that Mahomes will try to win each game, even with a bum ankle! When you watch past performances, you can observe how marvelous he is on the field against the Eagles or Bengals. As such, each player on the roster helped win the AFC Championship game, and the Cincinnati Bengals were second in line to win the trophy!
Cincinnati Bengals
As mentioned above, the Cincinnati Bengals were just yards away from winning the AFC title game. Even with Mahomes’ bad ankle, the Chiefs still brought home the bacon. However, that doesn’t mean the Bengals aren’t among the top NFL teams. The AFC Championship Game gathers the best of the best teams, and the Bengals had the honor of being second in line.
Their offensive line in 2022 is worth noting. With just enough training and sharpening, they’re expected to do much better in 2023. As a result, they’re one of the most popular teams this 2023 season.
Philadelphia Eagles
Another contender that rivals the Cincinnati Bengals and the Kansas City Chiefs is the Philadelphia Eagles. Even pro players from each team are aware of the Eagles’ capabilities. It’s evident from their 10-point lead over the Kansas City Chiefs in the second half of the Super Bowl LVII.
With FletcherCox, Miles Sanders, and James Bradberry in this mix, the Eagles are expected to fly and conquer the 2023 NFL season. Still, this team has room for improvement – they would have to improve their offensive game to beat the other teams, just like they did with the San Francisco 49ers.
San Francisco 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers are another favored team to win this 2023 season. Despite this, the 49ers still need to improve in numerous areas to win this season. Naturally, when a team loses two of its best quarterbacks, you would think that they would fall back on their performance and would take years to rebuild the same strength as before.
One of the leading players who contributed to their streak is Brock Purdy, the 49ers’ third-string quarterback, who has played magnificently since their addition to the team. Furthermore, the 49ers’ defense is incredible, thanks to George Kittle, Deebo Samuel, and McCaffrey.
Buffalo Bills
Last year, the Buffalo Bills were one of the favorites to win the 2022 Super Bowl. However, due to a home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, the Bills were defeated to dust. Undoubtedly, the Cincinnati Bengals dominated the Bills in front of their fans and hometown. However, this 2023 season, fans expect they will take this loss and improve themselves.
Still, fans are excited due to the new reinforcements on their offensive and defensive lines. The team is in top shape, making them a viable contender this season. If you’re unconvinced, try to observe them in the NFL draft and determine if they’re worth your bets this season.
Los Angeles Chargers
This list won’t be complete without the Los Angeles Chargers. This 2023 season is when quarterback Justin Herbert is expected to prove himself. Furthermore, the Los Angeles Chargers have a great offensive coordinator at hand. If all goes well, the team’s defense will impact the 2023 season, especially with big names like Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack, Derwin James, and Erick Kendricks in the mix.
Final Thoughts
The Chiefs, Bengals, 49ers, Eagles, Bills, and Chargers are some of the top teams this season. These teams try to improve their offense, defense, and their players and instructors every year! It’s why you’ll often see the teams have new additions (from NFL drafts).
