In response to "Grantland: The 8 NFL teams with the best chance of winning the Super Bowl" by Strongbad

Bill Polian has a similar column on ESPN. His five are:

San Francisco 49ers
Seattle Seahawks
Atlanta Falcons
Cincinnati Bengals
New England Patriots

Five contenders he considers in the next tier:

Denver
Baltimore
Green Bay
Washington
Houston

His risers are:

Kansas City
Detroit
Carolina
New Orleans
Chicago

I agree with him on the first three risers. I worry about Chicago now that they are going to try to win on offense. New Orleans' defense looks -worse- than last year, at least on paper. People are giving too much credit to the return of Sean Payton.
