Every playoff picks take

Cincinnati Bengals to make the playoffs
Cincinnati, I have as a new playoff team.
Baltimore Ravens to make the playoffs
Baltimore, by the way, is going to be a new playoff team, too.
Kansas City Chiefs to make the playoffs
I'll give Kansas City credit, I think they get back to the playoffs.
Houston Texans to make the playoffs
So I have the Bills Ravens Texans Chargers winning their division
Cincinnati Bengals to make the playoffs
Cincinnati, I have as a new playoff team. ... Patriots, Bengals, Chiefs as wildcard.
Kansas City Chiefs to make the playoffs

Los Angeles Chargers to make the playoffs
So I have the Bills, Ravens, Texans, Chargers winning their division.
Detroit Lions to make the playoffs
If Detroit is healthy on defense and a reshuffled offensive line can work, it'll be a playoff team again and potentially a dangerous one.
Cincinnati Bengals to make the playoffs
Can Burrow stay healthy and get back to his dominant 43-touchdown form in 2024? That, and even a mediocre defense, will put the Bengals back in the playoffs
Los Angeles Rams to make the playoffs
It's in LA. They're gonna play the Rams in the NFC Championship game.
Baltimore Ravens to make the playoffs
And the team that did just miss it last year, I think, gets back in... I think the Ravens are back in it.
Chicago Bears to make the playoffs
But I'd I'd be surprised if they're not making it again. That would definitely be a a shocker.
Detroit Lions to make the playoffs
So I'm concerned that they don't make it this year. And if they don't, I'm putting the Detroit Lions in.
Cincinnati Bengals to make the playoffs
the team that's in, I'm gonna say the Cincinnati Bengals are in this year... that's gonna be good enough to to get to 10 wins and make the playoffs
Houston Texans to make the playoffs
and I think Stroud plays well enough for them to make the playoffs
New Orleans Saints to make the playoffs
And I'm in I'm buying I'm buying the Saints... I'm buying the Saints to win the South.
Kansas City Chiefs to make the playoffs
the team I'm putting in. Chiefs?... They do make the play.
Jacksonville Jaguars to make the playoffs
And I like one team to come out of that division, to make the playoffs, and that's Jacksonville
Dallas Cowboys to make the playoffs
Who's out so the Cowboys can get in?... Tell me why the Cowboys are making it
Seattle Seahawks to make the playoffs
which means they believe the Seattle Seahawks will lose in the NFC Championship Game
Dallas Cowboys to make the playoffs
If Dallas is middle of the pack -- or really just mediocre -- defensively, it will be a playoff team.
