Is Houston the only team left that realistically can't win the Super Bowl?

[rmilia1]

Yes I realize theoretically they still can since theyre still playing but I can see a plausible way that baby of the other 7 teams could win it all. I can't see a way Houston can. That's pretty odd. I think usually in a normal year there are a few 2 or 3 teams left in the playoffs that I can't see winning it all but this year I think it's just Houston. What do you guys think?

If I were feeling edgy I'd say Seattle but this is about right I think.

Better worry about Atlanta!

Any team is going to be tough. Never say never.

I would agree

I never worry because it does no good lol. I'm excited for the game and the Dallas-GB and KC-Pitt game as well

 

[Bmurph]

Houston wont win their next game cause "asswiper" will not be able to put up enough offense against the NE defense, so realistically the Texans will be one and done.

 

[Wazmankg]

I'd add the Hawks to that list.

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

The Texans paid big money for Osweiler so they can win these big playoff games. They don't call him big game O for no reason. I'm sure someone called him that at some point. Well, maybe I'm the first actually.

 

[Great Dayne]

I'd add the Hawks to that list.

An elite QB with a good defense and a running game that's coming alive recently. I'd give them a good chance despite all the ups and downs they've had this season. The beat NE in NE this year so they can easily take ATL in ATL no diggity.

We shall see how injured BIG BEN is.

 

[fordman84]

I've been told Dallas doesn't have a chance. They have a rookie QB and no rookie QB ever won the SB.

I'd say Houston and Atlanta are the only teams with zero chance. Everyone else has at least a shot

 

[flyerhawk]

Houston is the only team I can't come up with a legitimate argument for a pathway to winning the Super Bowl.

Seattle is up and down but still has a top flight QB and a ton of talent. KC still has Alex Smith as its QB. But I can still make a strong argument for both being able to win it all.

Last year:
DEN 23-16 over PIT
DEN 20-18 over NE
DEN 24-10 over CAR

DEN won with elite defense and quarterback ineptitude each time. HOU has the best D in the league right now and JJ might even be back very soon. On paper, NE is going to easily torch HOU, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Clowney can be this year's Von Miller. I'm not counting out Houston either.

Elite QB?

current odds.....

pats 3/2

coons 6/1
chefs 8/1
stilers 8/1
pack 10/1
hawks 10/1
texans 40/1

I've been told Dallas doesn't have a chance. They have a rookie QB and no rookie QB ever won the SB.

Brady was virtually a rookie. I sure wouldn't count out Dak.

There's always a first for something.

 

[broncosmitty]

Atlanta, Houston, KC and Dallas all have the equivalent of zero chance to me.

Seatle only has a shot because GB can't be the only NFC team who can win.

Big difference there is that Denver was home up to the Super Bowl, Houston will have to do it on the road. Denver also got to play a Steelers team minus Bell and Brown, and with a really banged up Roethlisberger.
