If this is the case I hope the season is entertaining during the wait until January gets here

The only 6 teams that have a chance to win the Super Bowl

Got to love these only x can win the SB after a tremendously flawed team that was far from dominant (outside of defense) just won the SB. This narrative needs to die.

They left off the 9ers.....

I didn't see the Raiders on there.

The common denominator in this list appears to be have a top 5 QB combined with a top ten defense. The only anomalies in recent times have been the G-men.

I miss the good old days when national media didn't overhype the Seahawks.

And I miss the good ole days when 15 yr old bloggers on a cell phone somewhere, typing faster with his thumbs than I can with 10 fingers, couldn't pose as a legitimate sports writer and people weren't gullible enough to take them serious......

Sounds like me when I was 12 and on the CBS forums.

In the past decade?

2013 Seattle
2010 Packers
2008 Pitt

About it. Two of those are questionable. If anything, the 2010 Packers are the anomaly...

Not a factor, PM was not a top 5 qb last yr with the Broncos, and a fair amount of the SB's won have been with lopsided teams...In 2012, our D was ranked 17th when we won our last SB.
In 2000, our O was probably ranked in the 20's, but the D was spectacular.....
Denver won with an outstanding D and sluggish O last yr....TB and on and on.....
I have no problem with the teams this writer picked as top candidates, but you can't tell me that my Ravens, the Colts, Bengals, KC, SD, Giants, Cowboys, Broncos etc, have no chance.....That's absurd and shows this guy is an idiot.....IMO

I never said there weren't anomalies and that those other teams don't have a chance.

Agree, I'd switch them with the #6 team

@Manster7588 Label my post as funny? I'm talking serious win ability here.

Oh I'm sorry, of course the 49ers have a chance.

I agree, it's difficult to have a team that has a top 5 QB with a top 10 defense but when a team has those two combined together it's very likely they will be competing for a SB and have a higher chance of winning one than teams that don't have that combination. You also forgot to add the 2014 Patriots. If the team doesn't have a top 5 QB normally they have to have the best defense in the NFL to win it all just like Baltimore and Denver. This is why the Giants are the true anomaly. Even though they lacked a top ten Defense or top 5 QB they managed to improve their level of play in the postseason just enough to win twice.

I still remember one of the Fox News Commentators saying they don't get the hype because they're in South Alaska. I believe this was in 2012.

Patriots were 13th in wDVOA.
