Super Bowl LI
Winner: Baltimore Ravens

Why they’re on this list: Joe Flacco, John Harbaugh, Defense

You can’t keep the Ravens down for more than a few seasons. They’ve got all the talent in-house, a great coach, and quarterback who is practically unstoppable once he gets into the postseason.

The Ravens will become the class of the AFC over the next few seasons, and they’ll take out a Philadelphia Eagles team entirely predicated on offense and passing by blitzing the heck out of whichever flavor-of-the-month is under center for the Eagles.

The Joe Flacco bandwagon will empty within 24 hours of the win.
