Guess Who’s NOT coming to dinner in Minnesota: 25 teams so far
In order to get to the Big Show a team has to have a number things happen. Winning the most games does count, however they have to be healthy, have a Quarterback, good receivers, a good line, top coaches, a good kicker, a good ground game and a real defense. If a team gets hot in December and is playing well, that counts too. Home field does matter and when all is said and done you sprinkle in a little luck, a turn over or 2 that goes your way and poof your in the Super Bowl.
We have watched all the teams this year in numerous games and have even seen some of them 2 or 3 times. According to us, here are our updated list of 25 teams we feel are not coming to dinner in Minnesota. Please keep in mind some of them will get in the playoffs but that’s about it.
