The sludge of the NFL preseason is nearly over, which can only mean one thing. The NFL regular season is here!
As always, there are plenty of teams with legitimate chances to reach Super Bowl XLVIII, making the season a weekly display of great football and exciting matchups. We’ve collected browser themes for a handful of teams that we think are true contenders for the 2014 Super Bowl, which will be held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on February 2. Agree with our picks? Think we have no idea what we’re talking about? Let us know!
San Francisco 49ers
With a team similar to last season’s Super Bowl runner-up squad, the 49ers are in a prime position to go back in 2014. Of all the 2014 NFL browser themes, this might be the one with the highest expectations.
Indianapolis Colts
The Colts surprised everyone by going 11-5 in Andrew Luck’s rookie season. With an improved defense, Indianapolis could surprise everyone and make it to the biggest game of all.
Houston Texans
Lately, Houston has been on the cusp of being a championship-quality team; they just haven’t been able to put it all together. With a dominant defense and experienced offense, is this the year the Texans reach the Super Bowl?
Baltimore Ravens
The Baltimore Ravens – and quarterback Joe Flacco’s gigantic new contract – are looking to silence a lot of critics who don’t think the team is capable of repeating last year’s Super Bowl victory. Even if they don’t, fans can still bask in the glory of that championship with this NFL browser theme.
Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons are a great regular season team, sure, but they’re becoming known for being an annual disappointment in the playoffs. Maybe by downloading this sleek football theme, fans can send good vibes to the team come January.
Washington Redskins
Robert Griffin III already proved that he can do just about anything on the football field. Though he is still recovering from a knee injury, that shouldn’t stop the Redskins from contending for the Super Bowl later in the season.
Denver Broncos
The Broncos –with a rejuvenated Peyton Manning – were an offensive force in 2012, and adding Wes Welker could make them unstoppable. When it comes to NFL themes of teams that are nearly a lock to at least make the conference championship game, the Broncos are right at the top of the list.
Seattle Seahawks
Great teams with (very) young quarterbacks seem to be a growing trend, don’t they? With Russell Wilson and a stout defense, Seattle will battle San Francisco in the NFC West, and then, possibly, for a berth in the Super Bowl.
Cincinnati Bengals
There are always trendy Super Bowl picks, and the Cincinnati Bengals are this year’s trendiest one. Fans of the Bengals could have plenty to cheer about in 2013, so they should download this popular NFL theme as soon as possible.
New England Patriots
You just never count out Tom Brady and the Patriots. Though there are trendier and less vilified teams with NFL browser themes, more often than not, it is the Patriots who find themselves right on the cusp of the Super Bowl.
Buffalo Bills
We know the Buffalo Bills might not be everyone’s pick for the Super Bowl let alone the playoffs this year, but the passionate fans of Buffalo love their team and their team’s browser theme. Sometimes it takes more than just talent to get to the Super Bowl. We’re feeling the Buffalo Bills fans passion and think that could push them into the playoffs this year. You never know, the more fans downloading themes, maybe that’s just the 12th man on the field to help them get there.
Brand Thunder’s Super Bowl Pick
Super Bowl XLVIII, which is now expected to be cold and snowy, thanks to the Farmers’ Alamanac, is going to feature the Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers, with the 49ers pulling out the win, thus giving a much-deserved ring to long-suffering former Cleveland Browns kicker Phil Dawson.
