Simon Hunter · Jul 16, 2025

Simon's 14 playoff teams: Chiefs, Ravens, Bills, Texans, Broncos, Steelers and Raiders in the AFC; Cowboys, Eagles, Buccaneers, Packers, Lions, 49ers and Rams in the NFC. He has Houston winning the AFC South, Green Bay the NFC North, Tampa Bay the NFC South, and the Rams winning the Super Bowl.

“if I'm going to make one futures bet in NFC, wouldn't be the Eagles. It would still be this Rams team to win the Super Bowl.”
