Every playoff team looks dangerous — but not every playoff team is built to survive January.

In this episode of Cincy Sports Scene, we break down every NFL playoff team using the same criteria to answer one simple question:

Who can ACTUALLY win the Super Bowl — and who’s lying to themselves?

No hype. No homer takes. Just real postseason truth.

🧠 Our Breakdown Criteria:

• Quarterback play under pressure
• Defensive consistency
• Coaching & playoff experience
• The “January Factor” (road games, cold, injuries, chaos)

Each team gets:
✅ One reason they can win it all
❌ One reason it falls apart

🔥 Plus:

• Contenders vs Pretenders debate
• Super Bowl matchup predictions (no hedging)
• Bold takes you’ll want to argue with

👇 Next Week:
We shift to college football — the CFP is broken, the transfer portal is out of control, and we’re laying out real fixes, not talking points.
