With the 14 playoff teams now set, Super Bowl 58 predictions are abundant. What three matchups would be the most desirable for NFL fans? I do think there is the possibility for some extremely fun and different Super Bowl matchups. If we're being honest, I don't think NFL fans really care to see the same teams make the Super Bowl nearly every year.
I think fans desire to see some differentiation here, and there are three Super Bowl 58 games that I think could provide NFL fans with an awesome viewing experience. What three Super Bowl matchups this season would NFL fans go crazy for?
3 Super Bowl 58 matchups that NFL fans would go crazy for
1. Detroit Lions vs. Buffalo Bills
If you want two of the most devoted and frankly crazy fanbases in the NFL, the Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills have them. Lions' fans have been extremely committed to their team through all of the horrible, losing seasons, while Bills' fans have always been some of the most boisterous fans in all of sports.
From jumping through tables to biting off kneecaps, seeing these two fanbases get to enjoy a Super Bowl would be great. And I think other NFL fans would love to see this matchup. The Lions and Bills are two old-school type of franchises with exciting players on both sides of the ball, and I do think this would be a nail-biter of a game.
2. Detroit Lions vs. Baltimore Ravens
I'm adding the Detroit Lions in again, and I think a potential matchup with the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl 58 would be a very fun game for NFL fans. The Lions and their Super Bowl "fun" argument is pretty self-explanatory, and the Ravens are clearly the best team in the NFL. Their QB, Lamar Jackson, feels like he's on his way to his second NFL MVP award.
And their defense has shut down some of the best offenses in the NFL. The Ravens actually blew out the Lions earlier this year, but I don't think this hypothetical SB game would be the same.
3. Dallas Cowboys vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
This is an all-time Super Bowl matchup. The two franchises have met in the Super Bowl three times, twice in the 70s and once in the 90s. The Steelers won both of the matchups in the 70s and the Cowboys got one in the 90s. Obviously the circumstances are much different for both teams in the 2020s, but for the NFL history junkies, this would be an awesome game to witness.
The Steelers would have to hope that QB Mason Rudolph continues to play well, and their defense would really need to step up. The Cowboys are one of the most talented teams in the entire NFL and earned the No. 2 seed this year, so I do think it's wise to bet on them with any home playoff game they play this year.
