Yes, but it's such a truism that it's meaningless. The two greatest single season football teams in the history of the NFL are the '85 Bears and the '07 Patriots, and they both lost a game. It happens, and it's understood that it happens, so "Yes, team A can beat team B" is meaningless.
Understanding that, we can all move on, and "that team has no shot" can be understood to mean "that team is a much lesser team than the opponent this season, and it will probably take a very unusual set of favorable circumstances for them to win the game".
