I’m here for the comments that are picking totally expected teams to do well & expected collapses. My picks: buccaneers make a run (not just division title, threat for bye) & Dolphins have their annual Hanukkah collapse
NFL
A place for NFL news, game highlights and everything that excites you about American Football.
Not the Cowboys. Any collapse will be 27 years in the making expected.
I would like to watch the Colts go on a run and see Gardner Minshew holding the Super Bowl trophy at the end. So much unwarranted disrespect towards that man.
5 divisional games (which always can go either way)
The rest of the division is literal diarrhea. Lions got the division under lock and key
Ngl as bad as the broncos started i could still see them finding a way into the playoffs cause theyve been looking way better lately
I’ve watched the Ravens lose so many fourth quarter huge leads in the last few years. A lot of it is boneheaded coaching by harbaugh but I could see us completely imploding this second half
Bucs go on a run, Jaguars lose a bunch of games, but it won't be a full on collapse
The Commanders.
Late run: Minnesota. They are the best team in the North right now and once Jefferson is back, it's over. They MIGHT have a tough time in Denver tomorrow night but after that I think they run the table, including twice against Detroit.
Collapse: Detroit. Their defense is still one of the worst in the NFL and their schedule isn't as easy as previously thought. They face Chicago twice, and Fields in the past has torched this defense. Denver has seemingly got their act together after that embarrassment against the Dolphins so that could be a trap game for Detroit. New Orleans isn't terrible and have a solid WR corps that can easily embarrass Detroit's secondary. The Dallas game of course is an automatic loss for Detroit. I'm thinking Minnesota finishes the season 12-5 while the Lions collapse down the stretch and finish 9-8 while they limp into the final wild card seed participation trophy via tiebreaker like they did in 2016.
Well I consider the Lions as one of the SB contenders, so if Dobbs beats yall we can at least appreciate the hell of a story he's writing
Broncos. Defense has figured it out, Russ playing really good, Javonte getting healthy.
Put in my 5 year old cousin at qb and the patriots might actually win a game
I don’t even want to think it into existence
Denver and Houston have favorable schedules down the stretch and could get hot if they stay healthy.
The Lions are interesting and I honestly don't know what to think yet. First I'm a Vikings fan so my opinion is slanted. However the last two seasons, I've said several times the Lions were better than their record indicated. This year I'm not certain they are as good as their record. I do think they're good, but with the exception of week 1, when they play good teams they look bad. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if they lost the first round or make it to the NFC championship or even the Super Bowl. I don't expect my team in the SB but I do think that how they're playing right now, they could potentially make it to the second round in the playoffs.
If I had to bet money today, I'd say Ravens and Eagles, but I don't think anyone would be surprised by that.
I don't know man, I just don't see the Lions losing more than one game in the four games against vikings and Bears. I think clinching the division is not only realistic, it's almost a sure thing.
it's Dobbs time
I’ve said it once I’ll say it again the jets limp to getting Aaron Rodgers back win 4 games to go 11-6 and win the Super Bowl
49ers next loss will be in the preseason next year.
You guys are under the Kirk Cousins curse. No super bowl win for San Fran this year
I honestly think we’re toast and will go 6-11
Broncos about to win it all just you wait and see
I’m too used to pain to say the Texans could go on a run but the jags and bills seem to be slipping and the bengals lost their QB, I don’t think winning the AFC south or securing a wildcard spot seems too crazy with the easy schedule ahead of us.
Outside of the homer pick, I see Denver figuring it out and Miami once again collapsing in the AFC
In the NFC I think the cowboys collapse and the Rams making a run
I think Denver has a lot of momentum right now. And maybe the Texans as well
Could be fun
I really wanna say Pittsburgh, but knowing the luck of being a fan of them, something will go sideways😂
I think the late run candidates are the Bills and Chargers. Seahawks Browns, and Steelers for the collapse.
Ravens collapse. Texans rise (if they don’t count then it’s the raiders or chargers. But the patriots would be hilarious)
If the Commanders didn’t have such a brutal schedule I’d say them.
Remember when we were considered to have a “brutal schedule” early on in the season?
Which the record shows that it was tough but as typical Vikings games go, we shot ourselves in the foot with turnovers.
Let’s ride
The team that’s actually on a three game win streak with a losing record does not even get mentioned
Donkeys
The Jets will get the Wild Card and Aaron will comeback in time to win it all
The way the Steelers schedule shapes up, they’re looking like they’ll finish the same way as last year’s Vikings, 13-4 and then probably lose a freak game in the Wild Card round lol
Buffalo and Cincy are probably both missing the playoffs now, with the Burrow injury and Josh Allen playing like he’s injured, and both teams have brutal schedules. I could see both finish with 10 losses
IDK how wild this is but the Broncos are making the playoffs. Vikings and Josh Dobbs will still be solid but not good enough to overcome an incomplete team and they will lose more close games
My vote is either Jaguars or Seahawks
Bears will have a winning record the rest of the way. Don't ask me why I think this. I simply know it to be true.
Cardinals
