So I have three new playoff teams, the Falcons, the Bears, and the Seahawks.
Philadelphia Eagles to make the playoffs
This is a team that is loaded. They're going to continue to be loaded ... This is a team that we should see in the Final four for the next few years.
Las Vegas Raiders to make the playoffs
And we're speaking of the Raiders. They're gonna be back in the playoffs next year. Pete Carroll, Chip Kelly now running the offense.
Washington Commanders to make the playoffs
Jaden Daniels is gonna have the commanders back in the final four next year.
Buffalo Bills to make the playoffs
My safest prediction in the NFL next year, beyond Buffalo and Kansas City, if Mahomes and Josh Allen or upright will be playoff teams
Kansas City Chiefs to make the playoffs
My safest prediction in the NFL next year, beyond Buffalo and Kansas City, if Mahomes and Josh Allen or upright will be playoff teams
Chicago Bears to make the playoffs
they should be in the hunt to win that division and they should add a minimum, make the playoffs. I don't think that's an unreasonable expectation for him in Chicago with that talent level next year.
New England Patriots to make the playoffs
I think I think the next year they're gonna Patriots could make the playoffs
Los Angeles Rams to make the playoffs
The Rams have turned things around in the second half of the season and will be back in the postseason... the fact that they will be hosting a home playoff game is pretty wild
Houston Texans to make the playoffs
Houston will still host a playoff game in Round 1, but don't be surprised if it is a heavy underdog in that matchup.
Washington Commanders to make the playoffs
I think the commanders are in. Yeah. Having nine wins. Because the teams that we just mentioned, in order to make it, would have to win their divisions, which means the commanders are safe.
Los Angeles Chargers to make the playoffs
I know you wanna say that they're just gonna fall apart like always... I I just don't think that that they're not gonna lose... Yeah. I'm I'm gonna push back on that, Chris.
Baltimore Ravens to make the playoffs
Baltimore is a sure-fire playoff team, but it clearly isn't the same regular-season team we saw last year.
Denver Broncos to make the playoffs
The Denver Broncos are a near-lock to make the postseason
Green Bay Packers to make the playoffs
The Packers are gonna make it to the divisional round again. I don't think that's an, an overreaction at all.
Green Bay Packers to make the playoffs
The Packers are gonna make it to the divisional round again.
Los Angeles Chargers to make the playoffs
The Chargers are still a contender in the AFC and should have no problem being the No. 5 or No. 6 seed in the conference.
Green Bay Packers to make the playoffs
The Packers are a lock to be in the playoffs and will be one of the toughest wild-card teams we've seen in recent years.
Denver Broncos to make the playoffs
Denver's defense has been incredible this season, and it is well on its way to earning a Wild Card spot in the AFC.
