Under the radar team most likely to get to SB?

Which under the radar team do you think is most likely to go on a run like the Giants in 07 and 11, or like the 08 Cardinals?

NFC: I'd say the 49ers. A lot of attention on the Seahawks, Saints and now Panthers, but the 49ers still have a good defense and strong running game, more than good enough to get wins in the post season.

AFC: Colts. They play down to the level of weaker teams, but they've shown they'll put up a fight against the better teams. Since only good teams get into the playoffs, they could surprise a team or two come playoff time. The loss of Wayne though might keep them from going all the way.

Update:

@Adam How many are picking the 9ers, as of right now, to go all the way? They were in the discussion before the season for Super Bowl faves, but right now the Seahawks, Saints and Panthers have taken the attention from them.

    AFC: Cincinnati. Just an all-around good team. Good defense. AJ Green is a Top 5 WR, and Giovanni Bernard is emerging.

    NFC: Carolina. That defense is legit. Possibly the best defense in the league, and Cam Newton is one of the most talented players in the league. They're inexperienced, but if Cam can play well, I could see them making a run at the Super Bowl.

    NFC : Giants if they sneak in and win the east, Panthers , or Lions

    AFC: Bengals if Andy Dalton turns into Flacco in the postseason. Good running game + good defense travels well on the road

    49ers are on the news on sportscenter nearly everyday, totally not under the radar. Either about aldon smith and his personal problems, crabtree's unknown return, kaepernick's slump, and now even ahmad brook's fine due to his hit on drew brees.

    under the radar? giants, cardinals, rams who still all have a shot at the post season

    How are the 49ers "under" the radar? They were in the Super Bowl last year. They're underachieving this season and are in danger of missing the playoffs altogether.

    I think Eagles can make it. Foles is putting up good numbers
