On Wednesday, Fox Sports radio analyst Colin Cowherd unveiled his “Super Bowl bubble” for the 2020 season, comparing it to the analytically determined power rankings recently provided by ESPN’s Football Power Index. He listed Kansas City, Baltimore, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Tampa Bay, Seattle, and New Orleans as the most likely teams to contend for a title. While my initial reaction to the segment was “hmmm, according to Cowherd, the AFC only has two that will duke it out for a chance at the Lombardi?” I found his explanation quite intriguing.
Here, Cowherd placed emphasis on teams with dynamic players across the field, primarily on offense.
