NFL

Well the Steelers are technically in a playoff spot at 6-4 right now and honestly it will either go horribly pear shaped or we'll make a run to the Super Bowl

If we pull off the win tomorrow I'm confident we're going on a run.

Buccs make the playoffs. Dolphins shit the bed.

I’ve watched the Ravens lose so many fourth quarter huge leads in the last few years. A lot of it is boneheaded coaching by harbaugh but I could see us completely imploding this second half

The Commanders.

It's time for Ron Riveras yearly late season run to give us hope only to suit ourselves and get eliminated while somehow beating Dallas week 18

Let’s ride

Ravens collapse. Texans rise (if they don’t count then it’s the raiders or chargers. But the patriots would be hilarious)

I think the Lions fall apart.

Ngl as bad as the broncos started i could still see them finding a way into the playoffs cause theyve been looking way better lately

Strength of remaining schedule for your speculation purposes. Hardest at top left, easiest at bottom right:

My pick: maybe the Jets can win the AFCE this year? They've got an easier schedule than the Bills and Dolphins, just a question of how much of an anchor Z.Wilson is going to be.

Although I am of course biased, I could see us making a late season run and probably not make the playoffs, but at least play spoiler. The rams have honestly played a lot better than their record this season, a bunch of one possession games which could have gone either way, only two truly abysmal showings. With Stafford hopefully healthy the rest of the way and the toughest games on our schedule being seattle this week (who have struggled against us in the McVay era), Cleveland without a QB, the ravens, and the 49ers who could be resting starters week 18, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this team go on a run the rest of the way out

I think Houston wins the AFC South maybe reaches the AFC championship for the first time ever

I could see the Minnesota Vikings going on a deep playoff run. Dobbs has looked good and their defense is much better this year.

As for a collapse I do not see the Browns or Steelers making the playoffs however Burrows injury does complicate things.

Good run: Arizona

Bad run: Buffalo

the bills are going to fall apart. they've got some problems they still haven't figured out, and their OC was a scapegoat who's removal won't solve their problems.

more to the point, they're about to have a brutal schedule over the next month or so.

Throw Malik Cunningham in the game and pats might finish 10-8.

Look I just lost Burrow let me live in delusion for a while.

Hey would one of y'all please say the Raiders so I can be happy for 18 more hours?

#LETS FUCKIN RIDE

(ignore my flair)

Bro the Lions have maybe one of the easiest schedules remaining. I’m not scared of the Vikings at all, Josh Dobbs was even the Lions QB3 a couple years ago behind David Blough on the depth chart, regression is inevitable for him.

Bills 65/35 on run/collapse, I could totally see Steelers collapsing even though I think their schedule is easy, I don't think their play/method of victory will be sustainable, same with the Jags. I could see Texans continuing to run hot

My history as a Vikings fan makes me expect that we’ll fall apart down the stretch, but how they have played thus far should indicate it’s very possible for them to be 10-4 coming into our matchup against the Lions in Week 16.

It’s hard not to expect a collapse, but I’m ready to be hurt again!

Texans I feel confident about. Broncos perhaps. Vikings with Dobbs is… scarier than people know.

Last year's Lions were losing a lot of close games early in the season, so a late-season run wasn't out of the question. They nearly beat the Eagles in week 1, only losing by 3 points.

Denver ⬆️ Dallas ⬇️

Denver frankly controls their own destiny with their schedule. I could 100% see them sneak in somehow with a 9-8 record based off tiebreakers. And it’d be fun to honestly see them rematch Miami in a 7/2 matchup.

Donkeys

I’m extremely biased but the Seahawks have a brutal schedule and I could honestly see them losing most of their remaining games and not get above 500

Bears will have a winning record the rest of the way. Don't ask me why I think this. I simply know it to be true.

There’s a lot of decent looking football coming out of Denver the last few weeks. Russ doesn’t even have to necessarily be Superman he just needs to not turn the ball over and make good decisions and I believe they could end up a wild card team.

As for a collapse I say the Bills. I know they’re 5-5 but I’m talking like, tear the team apart and start over type of collapse. The Bills are effectively in the same position as the Falcons after blowing a 28-3 lead. They had the best team they’ve maybe ever had and on last second plays choked. I truly think teams don’t ever recover from that type of loss

Seahawks will collapse

Vikings will finish 12-5 after a 1-4 start only losing to the Lions away

I think the Bills might surprise people. They've got this guy, Josh Allen, who's historically been a pretty good QB, and he even has some good receivers now with Diggs and Kincaid. The defense is hurt, but AJ Epenesa has been filling Matt Milano's big Pepperidge-Farmer-shaped shoes pretty well. For the first time in a hot minute we even have a running back!

The upcoming schedule is pretty tough but if they beat the Jets I think they can take one of 3 from the chiefs/eagles/cowboys (probably the latter) and maybe squeak into a wild card slot.

basically if joe brady has one or two brain cells I think we'll be alright

Broncos Country Let’s Ride

I mean Vikings are on a 5 game win streak and this is the best team we’ve had in awhile. Our OLine and Defense are finally playing great they’ve been our weakness the whole Kirk era

I think there is a very real chance the Vikings steal the NFC north from the lions. I know I’m biased but both teams have piss easy schedules (outside of maybe broncos and bengals for the Vikings) that lead to a super impactful last 3 weeks.

The Vikings, and I’m not sure which one.

Idk that it’s unexpected but we should be the shoe-in for a collapse. I think the Bills could actually go on a run if they shape up.

Cardinals

It'd be incredibly on brand for the Bills, after losing to the Jets, Broncos, and Patriots, to beat the Eagles, Chiefs, and Cowboys in succession.

It'd also be very 2023 Bills to also lose to the Patriots again then Miami to miss the playoffs

Noooo go Lions!! You’ll stay strong

Green Bay and Seattle. Just a hunch with GB. If Seattle loses to the Rams who really have their number their next 4 games are SF twice, Dallas, and Philly. Also play Pittsburgh later.

Denver. Minnesota already started too

Sigh

Cardinals have potential.

Bucs go on a run, Jaguars lose a bunch of games, but it won't be a full on collapse

Steelers mickey mouse their way to first place in AFCN. Ravens are still able to get a wild card, but their offense suffers without Andrews and they get bounced in the first round.
