Which teams does Booger McFarland think can win the Super Bowl this season?

In the AFC, Booger McFarland ranks Buffalo, Cincinnati, Denver and Jacksonville as contenders, with Kansas City asterisked because it cannot run the ball and has no reliable receivers. In the NFC he likes Seattle and its coach, San Francisco if it is healthy by January, and Chicago, though he asks whether the Bears can hold teams under 24 points. He is out on the Rams.

McFarland does not put Cleveland among contenders despite a strong defense.
He wants to see Minnesota's next three or four games before believing in the Vikings.
The panel notes Kyler Murray has only about five touchdowns as the Vikings' starter.
