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.
I agree with everything besides Houston. They legit look broken right now and I can’t see a scenario in where they would surprise anybody. Would think differently if weapons like Dell and Diggs weren’t out due to injuries. I like the Chargers more as that team. Jim got them playing complimentary football.

A coaching staff shake-up in Cincy would spell greater trouble for the conference more-so than them possibly sneaking in here. I can’t see them moving on from Zac at this point though. This Bengals team can score at will, but can’t play defense to save their lives. We’ve seen how this story plays out in the postseason.

T.O.
Your hindsight must be 20/20

because NO ONE expected this.

Team Darnold.
