NFL Playoff Picture: Why Super Bowl Champion Will Come from NFC

The Super Bowl Champion will come from the NFC.

There are good teams in the AFC, but it is not nearly as talented as the NFC.

The Green Bay Packers are one of the best teams in the last 10 years. Aaron Rodgers is playing at an incredible level, running one of the most efficient offenses anyone has ever seen.

You can say what you want about the defense, but the Packers force enough turnovers to make up for the big yardage they give up. When they're forcing turnovers, they're almost impossible to beat.

Green Bay might not be undefeated anymore, but they certainly are one of the best teams in the NFL.

When you look past the Packers, the San Francisco 49ers are playing really good football.

Say what you want about Alex Smith, but he's doing just enough to let David Akers win games. Smith knows his abilities. He knows what type of team he's on.

As long as stays within himself, the 49ers will be a tough out.

They conceded their first rushing touchdown of the season last week. That is outrageous.

Considering they won't be facing Marshawn Lynch any time soon, they might not give up another rushing touchdown this year.

Either way, that defense is great, and they'll dominate any offense in the AFC.

The third great team in the NFC is the New Orleans Saints. Drew Brees has already broken the yardage record for a single season. He will continue to run that offense with remarkable efficiency, which will cause problems for the rest of the league.

If any other team in the NFC gets hot enough to beat one of those three teams, they will be good enough to defeat the AFC representative in the Super Bowl.

Regardless of who it is, you can be sure that the Super Bowl champ will come from the NFC.
