The Lions haven't won a championship since 1957 and (like Cleveland and Jacksonville) have never been in a Super Bowl.

The Lions went 0-16 in 2008; the Browns did this past year.

Cleveland is to my knowledge the only NFL city that has never been in nor hosted a Super Bowl (as Detroit and Jacksonville have).

Well... who is the first to break the logjam? Or will the Earth crash into the Sun first?

At this point I don't know how you don't say Jacksonville. They have built a great foundation, and if they can get a good qb in free agency they may be even more of a contender in the next few years.

If the Jaguars get ahold of Kirk Cousins, or if Baker Mayfield falls to them in the draft and pans out, they become the top contender to dethrone New England right away.

If you mean which one will win it first, then probably Jacksonville.  At this point, hell will probably freeze over before the Lions or Browns even make it to the Super Bowl, let alone win it, but that could easily change.

I realize that the salary cap means that, in principle, there's a level playing field between large and small market teams.  However, there's no salary cap on coaching salaries, right?  Or any other ancillary expenses that might give a team a bit of an edge.  For that reason, if I'm projecting team quality out more than a few years, I guess I'd predict Detroit to be better in the long run than Jacksonville is, because Jacksonville is a small market with one of the smallest fanbases in the league, and that's probably not going to change.

So sure, Jacksonville is more likely to win the Super Bowl within the next two years or so (though probably none of the teams listed here will).  But beyond that, I'd guess that Detroit is the most likely.

this is sound and logical reasoning.
