The Atlanta Falcons began the 2016 season with worse odds to win the Super Bowl than the Jaguars, Jets and Chargers. In fact, only four teams had worse odds than the Falcons. They came out of nowhere to reach the Super Bowl, putting together one of the best offensive seasons in NFL history. No one expected them to make it as far as they did, but for several reasons, they surprised everyone outside of Atlanta and nearly won it all.
So, which teams could be next season’s Falcons? There are a number of potential candidates. These teams have been relatively unsuccessful in recent years, and all of them missed the playoffs in 2016 – just as the Falcons did in 2015.
They also have good assets and fairly strong rosters with most of them missing a few pieces, thus preventing them from making the jump from being a fringe playoff team to Super Bowl contender.
