Philadelphia Eagles' 'Dream Team' Switches Balance of Power Firmly to NFC

The Philadelphia Eagles are tired of falling just short of winning a Super Bowl year after year.

So this offseason they went out and decided to do something about it.

They were able to trade backup quarterback Kevin Kolb for Arizona's star cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Then they were able to sign Nnamdi Asomugha, Ronnie Brown and Vince Young through free agency. 

With the Eagles leapfrogging several teams in talent, it made the NFC even more talented.

The top competitors in the NFC this year will likely be the Eagles, the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers, the New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Falcons. 

In the AFC the top competitors will likely be the New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The New York Jets, Indianapolis Colts, San Diego Chargers and Baltimore Ravens will likely be good, but not on the same tier as the top competitors from each conference.

By my count that gives the NFC four teams that should compete for the Super Bowl, while it only gives the AFC two. Now don't get me wrong, it's entirely possible that a team I haven't named could win the Super Bowl, but going into the season it definitely seems like that there are more talented teams in the NFC.

However, this could result in NFC teams beating one another up. A superior AFC team like the Patriots or Steelers could face a relatively easy path to the Super Bowl compared to a hellish one in the NFC. By the time the Super Bowl rolls around the AFC team could actually end up in a better position to win.

But that's not what this is about, this is about which conference has more talent, and that title obviously belongs to the NFC with the Eagles revamped look.
