Since 2000 only 6 AFC teams and 12 NFC teams have made the SB. Only 5 AFC teams and 6 NFC teams have won the SB. Overall the AFC is 12-7. Of the teams below 8 comprised the 12 playoff participants from this past season. Had Pittsburgh not imploded (play laugh track), Denver not lost Sanders and Harris for the stretch run it could have been higher.
From the rest of the league are there any teams who can break the monopoly? Minnesota, Dallas, Cleveland and especially KC will be the hot teams in the prediction threads but if one from each conference breaks through that would make 12/32 different winners in 20 years. Granted NE's domination has titled the numbers some what.

Team wins Makes it even more glaring. 6 teams have over 100 less wins than NE and 1 has over 100 less than Pitt.

Playoff wins, NE has as many as #2+3 combined but from Minnesota to to the 4 teams not shown because they don't have a playoff win that equal 15 teams and they have equal to the Patriots 30 wins. You know it's skewd when the NYJs have more playoff wins than the bottom 7 franchises combined. This is all with giving Oakland and TB credit when neither has been relevant since 2002 which you can see by both being in the bottom quarter of season win total.

Good franchises who have the salary cap figure out, breed a good culture where winning comes first are always going to rise to the top. When Bill and Tom finally leave I know we won't be winning at the clip of the past 20 years but I bet the Krafts make the right hires to right the ship. Yes you need the QB but they'll figure that out too. Maybe they end up with a middle of the road guy but I don't see them going through Ponder after Losman after Leaf either.
