Who are your realistic SB contenders?

[HarlemHeat37]

There aren't any great teams in the NFL this season, tbh..

Of the teams that will/could make the playoffs, the following teams have virtually no chance of winning this year IMO: Miami, Baltimore, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Carolina, San Fransisco, Chicago and Dallas..

Every other team has a legit shot IMO..

[J.T.]

The last 3 years, the home teams are combined 2-4 in the Conference Championship Round.

2010 Steelers and 2011 Patriots?

I think (or maybe just hope) that the Broncos should make the Super Bowl this season. They're offense can carry them thru two wins at home assuming they beat Oakland on Sunday. After that, you never really know what will happen in the Super Bowl....your team could be getting their ass handed to them and then the power could go out for 45 minutes.

Your QB is Peyton Manning and you have a playoff bye = fckd

Yeah, I know, but the offense has been so good this season I just can't see them falling flat again.


So yeah, still ed, I know.

I like the way the Eagles are playing recently. I count them as the darkhorse similar to the Giants when they did their SB run in 2012. Also, no I don't think the Cowgirls beat them...sorry.

[monosylab1k]

tbh i can see literally any playoff team making it to the Super Bowl, except for Denver.

[monosylab1k]

Denver's just too flawed tbh.

-Peyton will choke
-Welker will choke
-Decker will choke
-Julius is talented but i don't see him handling the extra pressure well, he'll drop balls left and right
-Demaryus is clutch but lately looks like he's halfassing everything
-Knowshon is starting to fade
-Montee Ball is a fumble machine

[Darth_Pelican]

2010 Steelers and 2011 Patriots?

Yes

Panthers beat SF by 1point, No Vernon for the 2nd half, Crabtree & MM didn't play, was garbage in that game, only TD was on a re ed 24 yard run by Williams
Panthers beat NE thanks to the refs tbh
Panthers also got analy raped by the Saints

You sound like such a whiny irl

" Panthers only one cause of this "

well, we won. And we're gonna have a bye in a tough NFC. Sooner or later you're going to have to come to the conclusion that Carolina is legit. They've beaten top teams, and it's funny you mention Cam, because he led our team to the game winning drive in all three of those games.

theres a reason we are a favorite to win it all. Our te has progressively got better including breaking your heart in 30 seconds.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

It's so pathetic how people say Carolina only won cause of the refs... Because an extra play would have been a guaranteed TD. Pathetic.

[MeloHype]

Watch them lose this week week and drop to the 5th seed lmao

[DeadlyDynasty]

An extra play at the 1 yd line, you mean?

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

An extra play at the 1 yd line, you mean?

Possibly. It could have been holding. But considering we've allowed, what, 4 touchdowns all year in the red zone and first in red zone defense in the league, plus were at home, it's safe to say I like our chances.

[Raven]

still have no idea tbh, depends from injuries, but i'm still going with either pats, broncos, bengals, niners, seahawks. two very flawed defenses, two very flowed offenses and one balanced but still perhaps not ready. I'll take my pick next week.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

I have a strong urge that we will beat Seattle in Seattle for the NFC Championship only to lose in the Super Bowl. That's my bold prediction for the playoffs..

Have a feeling we'll be rematching New England (rematch of the SB and the game).

[TampaDude]

There has been a total of one #1 seed to reach the SB in the past 3 seasons, and they lost it. I don't think either of the #1 seeds this season strike fear into any of the other teams.

No #6 seed had ever won a Super Bowl until the Steelers did it. The past is just that, the past.

CenturyLink and Mile High confer too much of a home-field advantage in the playoffs, IMHO. But we'll see what happens.

[Ghazi]

Mono with no legitimate criticism of Denver

[Ghazi]

Vegas says Niners have 3rd best odds of winning SB behind Seahawks and Broncos. HarlemHeat

[Ghazi]

As always, New England is the most overrated team on here

[AchillesHeel]

As always, New England is the most overrated team on here

New England has the best coach & a healthy Tom Brady can beat anyone anywhere + if we win the last game and Denver somehow loses it, Denver would have to play @ New England in the playoffs, we all know how well Manning's done in our building.

[Ghazi]

So basically you wanna judge a team based on hype and reputation rather than how they've looked on the field.

The Patriots could win it, but they aren't the favorites or even close.

[Wiz]

Panthers will win the SB, everybody else sucks
