This season is crazy unpredictable....let's try and guess how the playoffs will set up, and beyond if you like.

Without looking at schedules (doesn't seem to help)

AFC

1. Broncos
2. Patriots

3. Bengals
4. Colts
5. Chiefs
6. Ravens

NFC

1. Seahawks
2. Saints

3. Eagles
4. Lions
5. 49ers
6. Panthers

NFC is impossible....I may only get 3 teams. IMO ONLY 2 NFC teams are out of it and both in south.

I think 9-7 has a great chance in both conferences and it might even be enough to win 2 or 3 divisions.

If the Ravens make the playoffs I would be very surprised. They are just awful.

I just think it's a tough call between the Ravens, Browns, Jets, Dolphins, Chargers, Titans. Not sold on any of them and I probably would say the Breowns seem to be the best of those teams, but anything with a rhyme or reason doesn't seem to matter.

Care to give me your 12?

Damn out of those 6 you mentioned, who would have the best QB? Chargers? Ravens? Locker might be out for the season so it wouldn't be the Titans.

I would go with your list, but that last spot I would probably reserve for the Jets. Tough call though...plenty of *meatyoaker teams out there.

Looking at all the shitty 5-6 teams.....SD and NYJ have the best path.

I really believe 8-8 makes it and very possibly without a tie breaker.

With my greatest footwedge impression.....if the Breowns can pull it together at all, that final game in Pittsburgh may decide it.

Pittsburgh

@Balt
Cincy
@Green Bay
Dolphins
Browns

Need to go 3-2 with GB being 1 or the 2

The Steeolers can still lose at Green Bay and make the playoffs at 7-9.

The Teitans can go 0-6 in their division and make the playoffs.

AFC #6 seed is fantastic.

The goddamn Jets are still in the mix, and that's just pathetic.

Honestly I think the NFL should make a rule that the other conference can steal the 6 seed from a conference if they can't produce a winning team with the wild card. I can kinda understand allowing a .500 team make the playoffs with a division title, but the wild card is a joke. I still think Miami takes the #6 spot, and they would be the most deserving imo.

Well that wouldn't be very fair to the 3rd division winner.

Sure it would. They would be playing an actual playoff team.

Baltimore plays at New England. That's going to be a huge game for the Bengals to watch, assuming they can't take care of an eliminated Pittsburgh and Minnesota at home.

They need something to play for in week 17 against Baltimore. Otherwise, like Ironman has said, it very well might just be a roll over game where Baltimore beats Cincy, gets the 6-seed, and then they play again the next week. In that scenario, I hate being the team who rolls over.

I am impressed that you posted this four weeks ago.

I think that GB comes back to take the Norris from the Lions.

Lions are sure trying to give it away, very disappointing. That loss to TB was just flattening

What's funny is that I didn't look at any schedules...I figured nothing is predictable.

Thanks.....now watch virtually everything change the last 3 weeks.

Seems like the Ravens are playing the same money as Auburn.

Seems like they have 4 wins that they shouldn't.

Well the Lions got me and the Ravens probably won't make it either.

Lions need to fire Schwartz asap. 6-3 and against a weaker schedule down the stretch they go 1-5

Bill O'brien would fit nicely in Dallas or Detriot. Places he could win fast.

At that time....that's how it seemed. They were starting that ridiculous losing streak with games they probably shouldn't have lost.

.....or maybe that was one of my better reverse jinxes
