In this episode of Saturday vs Sunday, Geoff Dover and John Barban dive deep into the NFC landscape to answer one deceptively simple question: Which NFC teams can actually win Super Bowl 60? Not just sneak into the playoffs or “make some noise” — we’re talking real contenders, not hopeful dreamers.Going division by division, the guys eliminate the pretenders with zero hesitation and spotlight the select few who have the roster, coaching, and momentum to make a true Super Bowl run. Spoiler alert: it’s a short list, but a few surprises make the cut.The conversation kicks off in the NFC East, where Philly and Washington stand out as the most viable threats. The Eagles’ defense remains elite despite its bargain-bin price tag, and their front office’s track record for reloading talent puts them at the top of the pile. Meanwhile, Washington, riding high after a 12-5 season and with Jayden Daniels under center, might be the biggest wild card in the entire conference.From there, they torch the Cowboys and Giants (“zero chance in hell”), praise Detroit’s momentum and culture, and assess Green Bay’s sneaky upside. Jeff makes the case that the Packers might be closer than we think, thanks to a maturing roster and valuable playoff experience. John’s more skeptical — but admits the ceiling is there.Things get spicy when they tackle the NFC South, aka “The Race to the Bottom.” With no team clearly trending up and every roster filled with question marks, Jeff and John agree this division’s best hope is a wildcard beatdown, not a Lombardi Trophy.The NFC West, however, brings it all back: LA and San Francisco make the “yes” list, and the Rams, in particular, are a trendy dark horse. With a strong finish last season, a proven quarterback in Matthew Stafford, and elite young talent on defense, John believes LA could be this year’s surprise contender. The 49ers also make the cut — but it all hinges on another great draft and staying healthy.In total, the guys land on six NFC teams with real Super Bowl potential: Philly, Washington, Detroit, Green Bay, LA, and San Francisco. Some are long shots. Some are front-runners. But all of them have a plausible path to Las Vegas.Along the way, Jeff and John explore themes like playoff experience, the unforgiving nature of peaking at the wrong time, and what happens when multiple elite teams rise simultaneously — making it harder for anyone to break through. Think Dan Marino stuck in the Montana/Elway era, or the Jazz vs Jordan.If you’re tired of empty offseason hype and want a clear-eyed look at who’s really got the juice to win it all, this is the episode for you. Sharp takes, honest debate, and no love for the NFC South — just how you like it.
