Super Bowl LII
Winner: Atlanta Falcons

Why they’re on this list: Matt Ryan, (probably) Dan Quinn, Julio Jones, the Origami Stadium

The long-suffering fans in Atlanta will finally have some peace, and will capture the Super Bowl trophy that has eluded this franchise for nearly three-quarters of a century. The retractable origami art stadium will have its first trophy in its second year.

Matt Ryan will finally have the offensive line to go with the talent he’s surrounded by, and unofficial new head coach Dan Quinn (won’t I look silly if he turns down the gig) is going to really overhaul what has been a pitiful defense.

The Falcons will face a surprising Houston team who upset the Ravens in the playoffs, in what will be one of the lowest-rated Super Bowls of all time.
