Week 8 of the NFL saw some contenders make statements, while others didn’t meet expectations, and because of it, they move down these rankings. Here are the top 10 2026 Super Bowl contenders after Week 8.

2026 Super Bowl Rankings

1. Philadelphia Eagles

Say what you want about the defending champs, but despite not playing their best football through the first 8 weeks, they are 6-2 and lead the NFC East. Jalen Hurts and the pass game finally got going after dealing with tons of criticism, and then that helped get the struggling run game going. Once this team is firing on all cylinders, they will be very tough to beat. The Eagles also have a playoff pedigree, too, so they know how to win big games.

2. Kansas City Chiefs
