Just some info on NFC vs AFC, then and now.
From 1981 to 2000, 15 of the 20 winners were from the NFC. 9 unique teams, and 5 had multiple SB appearances, and 4 out of those 5 had multiple wins.
49ers 5-0, Cowboys 3-0, Giants 2-0, Bears 1-0, Rams 1-0, Redskins 3-1, Packers 1-1, Eagles 0-1, Flacons 0-1.
For the AFC, 9 unique SB teams, 6 with had multiple SB appearances.
Raiders 2-0, Broncos 2-3, Bills 0-4, Pats 0-2, Bengals 0-2, Dolphins 0-2, Steelers 0-1, Chargers 0-1, Titans 0-1
From 2001 to Now AFC has 11 of 17 winners, 6 unique teams and 5 of those had multiple SB appearances.
Ravens 2-0, Pats 5-2, Steelers 2-1, Colts 1-1, Broncos 1-1, Raiders 0-1
NFC has 12 unique teams in 17 years, 6 winners, and only 3 teams with multiple SB appearances.
Packers 1-0, Saints 1-0, Bucs 1-0, Giants 2-1, Seahawks 1-2, 49ers 0-1, Falcons 0-1, Cards 0-1, Rams 0-1, Eagles 0-1, Bears 0-1, Panthers 0-2
For whatever reason the NFC now is arguably much weaker because no team cant sustain any sort of run. Most of the NFC teams that made the SB were one and done. In the AFC all the teams except the Raiders made it back. In the previous era 5 of 9 NFC teams went more than once, and 4 of that 5 had multiple wins. Even though the AFC mostly lost, the same teams were always there. In the previous era there was a stretch that felt like it was either 49ers or the NFC East teams (minus Eagles) winning the Super Bowl every year, and in the playoffs they'd knock each other off. The breakdown can be massaged a bit as the Rams and Packers crossed eras, so maybe the Rams should represent the previous era. Probably better to break it down by decade, but this was already too much work.
