ORLANDO, Fla. -- Coaches from around the AFC were up early Tuesday to indulge in a buffet featuring bulging omelets, crisp bacon and delectable fruit. For most of them, it was a meal fit for a king.
For Bill Cowher, it was a breakfast of champions.
Cowher had what all these men wanted -- and it had nothing to do with the corn muffin and potatoes piled high on his plate. His team is the reigning Super Bowl champion.
And it's why he was the knight of these roundtables at the Hyatt Grand Cypress hotel.
"Every time I see Bill, I'm saying, 'Give me a hint, give me a clue, tell me how you do this,'" said Baltimore Ravens coach Brian Billick, a Super Bowl winning coach in 2000. "Bill doesn't need any advice from me."
"Pittsburgh is definitely the team to beat next season," added Cleveland Browns coach Romeo Crennel. "They're the Super Bowl champs."

Ping!
No way.
Not exactly favorites.
Indianapolis Colts 3/1
Seattle Seahawks 6/1
New England Patriots 7/1
Carolina Panthers 8/1
Pittsburgh Steelers 9/1
Is Indy still the favorite?
what a load of crap those odds are
Pittsburgh is going to lose to Cleveland and Cincy at least one time next year.
9/1 is too high. They haven't done enough on FA to win the Super Bowl again.
They will probably win the division, of course that all depends on Carson Daly and his knee, but without their best QB (he signed with the Redskins) and no power back (Duce Staley will get injured again), Pittsburgh hasn't improved nor filled any holes this year.
Steelers ping!
Folks just don't learn.
That list shows four teams with better odds than The Steelers.
Ping!
Carson Palmer you mean.....
That division may actually become somewhat balanced.
The odds were against the Steelers last year too.
Didn't matter.
No I mean Carson Daly :)
I'm still of the mentality that the Patriots should've won the SB, and are at least among the top 3 likely teams to make it to the SB next year.
Really looking forward to the Patriots/Dolphins games.
I know that, but it has nothing to do with your point about them being the favorite to win next year.
They may, but they are not the favorite, according to the oddsmakers.
