Hard for any team to Three-Pete, let alone repeat.
It been done in baseball but NO team in the NFL has ever been dominant enough to be able to Three-Pete. The only team that ever had a chance to Three-Pete were 71 Dolphins, who lost the SB that season but won it in 72-73. The only other team to make it to the SB 3 or more seasons in a row were the 90-93 Bills but they lost each time they got there (0-4).
NO other team has appeared more than twice in a row in the SB and the only teams to repeat in the NFL have been the:
66-67 Packers
72-73 Dolphins
74-75 Steelers
78-79 Steelers
88-89 49ers
92-93 Cowboys
97-98 Broncos
03-04 Patriots
These were all very dominant teams in their time but even they were unable to Three-Pete. So, although it's "possible" for the Hawks to repeat next year, it's very unlikely for them to "Three Pete" and odds against such a bet would be very LARGE!
However, if a team wins the SB one year and returns to the SB in the following year, the odds are pretty good that the team will win it again -- in fact, every team in the list above did it. So, if the Hawks make it back to the SB next year, as much as I'd hate to admit it, my $ would be on them.
