Maybe I'm weird...

I think there's a real shot that it's gonna be an Eagles/Ravens SB. They're the two most balanced teams.
That's what I'm feeling now, too, though I wouldn't be surprised if any of the AFC teams not named the Texans makes it.

I don't know that it has much to do with my Ohio State fandom. I grew up in Michigan, still live here, and basically root for all their college teams to do well other than their big one. I did root for Michigan against Alabama though. The Pistons are my favorite NBA team. I never really even had any animosity towards the Lions, their fans here have just been really irritating the past two seasons. I remember the Millen years, I get why they're excited, but damn the vast majority of the Lions fans I'm running into talk like this is some dynasty. At least try to have some humility.

I do agree with what you said about greatness. I feel like I missed out on really getting to appreciate Tom Brady and Tiger Woods because I rooted against them very hard at their peaks when I was annoyed with their overexposure. With Brady in his SB win with the Bucs and Tiger at the 2019 Masters, I finally got to enjoy watching them and was like "why did I hate this guy so much?". I hated Lebron at first too, but at least with him, I did start watching and cheering for him during his prime because I sympathized strongly when he got all that ridiculous backlash for "The Decision".
I remember hating on Elway, even hating on Montana and the Niners. I haven't totally outgrown it though, I despise the Chiefs. I know they are very good, but it seems to me that their games are decided by the refs. I definitely do not root for the Rams, though they were my favorite team up until Georgia Frontiere took over. I just can't stand them anymore. SF, also hated... Arizona, not so much because of their near SB win, and Larry Fitzgerald. I love the grit and toughness of the Lions right now, Buffalo too. Not so much the Ravens. They were born from deceipt and thievery from Cleveland. Like the Oklahoma basketball team, I will hate them forever. Everyone agrees, Alabama deserves being hated. It seemed too easy for them, and now that they are on the down stroke, it feels good.

Ideally I would like to see Ravens vs Commanders. Would love to see Lamar in the big game; as he's a treat to get to watch. Jayden is awesome to watch too, plus I wish much success for Bobby and DQ.

If not that, I'm rooting the greatness of getting to see a Chiefs threepeat.

Bills losing 4 straight Super Bowls really soured me on them. The Lions, meh, the way they blew last seasons NFC Championship game to the 49ers left me not particularly fond of them either.

But i really want to see Buffalo and Detroit in the big game. Two very likeable teams, kinda blue collar, cool coaches just a fun game
I don't want that because a loss to either team would be sould crushing for their very respectable loyal fan base. Especially Buffalo.

I'd rather see one or the other, and the next team win it a year later (assuming not against the Seahawks).

And people like you are the reason the MFL is going to put the Chiefs in the SB. I won’t watch a chiefs SB. Actually prob done wat hung all together. It’s one big scam.
