There might be a few teams who have separated themselves as Super Bowl contenders in the 2023 season, but history also tells us that it's not a foregone conclusion they will walk away with the Lombardi Trophy.
History is full of examples of teams that didn't look like the best team throughout the regular season but caught fire at the right time.
The 2007 New York Giants infamously ruined the New England Patriots undefeated season as a 10-6 five-seed. The 2010 Green Bay Packers were a six-seed that ran through the playoffs to win another championship.
The upper echelon of the league is strong this season, but they've each already lost at least one game and the margin for error is small.
