As the NFL offseason shifts into spring and summer workouts, training camps and preseason action are right around the corner. Every NFL team enters the offseason with the same goal: winning the Super Bowl. After an active free agency period and the NFL Draft, all 32 franchises now turn their focus toward competing in 2026.

Of course, only a handful of teams realistically have a shot at hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. As organized team activities (OTAs) and minicamps approach, several franchises have already emerged as early Super Bowl favorites.
