I don't think there's any team I can point to right now where I say, "Wow, that team has it all and it's impossible to bet against them".
NFC:
-The Lions have been riddled with injuries.
-I don't think Hurts is a great QB and if that running game gets slowed down at all, I'm not sure Hurts can take over.
-The Vikings have looked very good, but can Darnold get it done when the lights are bright, or will he see ghosts?
AFC:
-The Bills don't have any real stud weapons on offense, and they have been banged up a bit as well. But, we know Allen can take over on his own.
-Don't trust the Steelers at all.
-Houston has looked like they took a step back, but those are the type of teams that can surprise come playoff time.
-Do the Broncos have enough offensively to win when it matters?
-Lamar and Henry are my two favorite players, but I've seen the Ravens flop year after year when it matters. I can see the OC and Harbaugh costing Baltimore a chance.
I didn't list every team, but I think those are the ones that are the contenders other than the Chiefs who as I've said all year, I'll take until proven otherwise. I feel like Mahomes will finally turn it up a notch and his weapons will turn into prime versions of themselves in the playoffs. I can also see a scenario where the Bengals get in and cause some issues.
