NFL Power Rankings: Pittsburgh Steelers and Teams Sure To Keep Rising

There are the elite teams in the NFL, and then there are the teams that are on the “Suck for Luck” campaign. 

The Pittsburgh Steelers and these teams are far apart from the Andrew Luck bandwagon, unlike teams like the Broncos, Colts and Dolphins.  

This year, teams like the Steelers did start out slow, but over time they are starting to rise up through their soft parts of their schedules to take care of business against their weaker opponents.  

Through seven weeks of the NFL season, these teams have came to the top of the elite in the league.  

Will these teams end up in the Super Bowl at the end of the year? 

With the way that they are playing now, there’s no doubt in a lot of their fans minds that they will be playing in Indianapolis come February 5 at Lucas Oil Stadium. 

Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2) 

The Steelers started this season out with a mediocre 2-2 record. Their wins were either dominating at home, or barely being able to squeak by on the road.  

However, after two straight wins at home against the AFC South, it looks like whatever aliments the Steelers were facing to start this season have been cured.  

This week, against another terrible team in the Arizona Cardinals, the Steelers can fix whatever problems they had at playing on the road, as they are 1-2 this year away from Heinz Field. 

San Diego Chargers (4-1)  

In seasons past, the Chargers have started out slowly, but found a way to turn it on at the end of their season. However, this year they have stormed out of the gates, opening up to a nice 4-1 record, with their only loss of the season coming against the 5-1 Patriots. 

This week, against a good-but-not-great New York Jets team, the Chargers can really separate themselves from the rest of the AFC West division. 

A win in New York will prove that this team can travel across the country to win big games. 

Green Bay Packers (6-0) 

The reigning Super Bowl champions have done nothing but win since last year ended. They’re 6-0 on the year, and have shown no signs of slowing down anytime soon.  

This week against the Minnesota Vikings, the game will develop into another lopsided victory for Green Bay. 

Aaron Rodgers is having a career year and is the leading candidate for the NFL MVP award. 

Green Bay goes to 7-0 on the year after this week and may go undefeated this year. 

These are three teams that are all serious Super Bowl teams to look at. If you haven’t made a wager yet on this week’s games, find someone to take some money now, because all of these three teams will win this week.
