San Diego Chargers (6 Seed--AFC): Eliminated

San Diego

Median-home price: $485,000

Mortgage rate: 4.66 percent

Homeownership rate: 53.9 percent

Foreclosure rate: 2.4 percent

Average ticket cost: $123.00

Stadium name: Qualcomm Stadium

Last time in playoffs: 2009

Last time in Super Bowl: 1994

UPDATE: Current Super Bowl odds (as of 1/6/14): 15 to 1

It’s a long shot that the Chargers will make it all the way to the Super Bowl, just like it’s a long shot that you could afford a home in this Southern California metro. With home prices up more than $70,000 since the beginning of 2013, we wonder if the Lombardi Trophy is as far out of reach for the Chargers as a median-priced home is for the average American.
