My worst times clearing security were around 4-5 PM with waits up to 30 minutes just to clear. Routine clearance is 15 minutes. I allow at least 25.
If all the stars align, you could make it but it would be very tight & most airlines have a cutoff time for boarding.
If you're flying an airline in Concourse B (AA/DL/B6/WN) you stand a better chance of making it than if you're flying UA or another airline out of one of the other concourses. But neither is a "given".
