People always want to put the Cowboys in the Super Bowl for some reason. In my opinion, they haven't even had a team that threatened to go deep in the playoffs. A couple of years ago when they finally got a playoff win and people thought they could threaten, the Cowboys were quickly put to rest by the Vikings in a very one sided loss.
There is a team in Texas that could be a legitimate shot at making the Super Bowl and they have never even made the playoffs in their short time in the NFL. The Houston Texans, coached by Gary Kubiak, who I am not a big fan of, will have a shot in my opinion. This will be more relevant when they land Nnamdi Asomugha in the next couple of days. I don't think there is any chance that Nnamdi goes to the Jets and the Eagles already have DRC, so that leaves the Texans despite the fact that they just picked up Jonathan Joseph. If Houston picks up Nnamdi, this defense could be a top five defense in this league to go with a very good offense. Look at the players that already are on the defense, Brian Cushing, Demeco Ryans, Mario Williams, Amobi Okoye, and now JJ and possibly Nnamdi. The defense will be coached by Wade Phillips who is very good, just not as a head coach. Good luck Peyton Manning going against these guys.
Houston is thought of as an offensive team, but they won't be for long with this defense. Matt Schaub puts up good numbers, but there is no velocity on his throws so I don't like him as much as the rest of the world does, but he is good enough. I guess when you have Andre Johnson to throw the ball to, it doesn't matter that much how much you put on the ball. Arian Foster, the league's leading running back is back and he will be enough of a threat that this offense will put up very good numbers, especially considering the defense will be causing more turnovers. The Texans will win the AFC South and make a run in the playoffs this year.
