Meanwhile in the NFC East....

Even IF we do see the Raiders again, it’s going to be in a very cold Kansas City environment.

We know Carr sucks nuts in those conditions.

I've changed the way I think of Carr.

I have:

1. Chiefs
2. Steelers
3. Titans
4. Bills
5. Raiders
6. Ravens
7. Browns

1. Saints
2. Packers
3. Rams
4. Cowboys
5. Seahawks
6. Buccaneers
7. Cardinals


Browns & Colts both ended up 10-6, but Browns must have had the tiebreaker. Every NFC team not making the playoffs ended up with a losing record in my scenario, and the Cowboys are in with a stellar 6-10 record.

These are always fun. I tried to go conservative and had us dropping the TB and NO games. Here's what I came up with:

1. PIT
2. KC
3. BUF
4. IND
5. TEN
6. BAL
7. LV

Poor Brownies and Dolphins on the outside looking in at 10-6 and 9-7 :-)

1. NO
2. GB
3. SEA
4. PHI
5. TB
6. ARI
7. LAR

I have the Eagles taking the NFC East at 6-9-1, hosting the 13-3 Buccaneers in round 1 :-)

I tried to sneak in some upsets here and there but I ended up with NYJ, CIN, DET, WFT and JAX losing out. I'm positive that won't happen but it's hard to bet on any of those teams.

Ravens are going 11-5, their schedule is easier than the Raiders. All of the AFC North has a cupcake schedule.
[Reply]

quite possible to have all 7 AFC teams with 12+ wins AND a 10 win team misses out.....crazy
[Reply]

This should be the year that they finally change the rules and do something about this.
[Reply]

For home field I believe tiebreakers are:
Head to head
Conference record
Common opponents

The last one is why we need Balt to win badly this coming week.
[Reply]

They will NEVER change this!

A division winner will always host a WC, regardless how bad a division winner is!
[Reply]

I think The Ravens are gonna fold.
[Reply]

Not sure why people are stressing so much over the 1 seed. There won't be a home crowd advantage, and we're likely hosting a team like the Browns/Titans/Dolphins that we would probably dispose of fairly easily.

Gives Mahomes a chance to pad his playoff win total and another rare playoff W for the franchise.
[Reply]

An extra playoff game is another chance to lose a game or major contributor to injury.
[Reply]

The one seed gets a bye, which nearly doubles the chances we'll win the Super Bowl. And right now, the team we would play is the Raiders.
[Reply]

Yes. There's no other league that has eight divisions and four teams per each. I wouldn't mind if they go to four divisions with eight teams in each. Put more prestige on winning a division. We don't need eight freaking divisions.
