Outside of the Pats-who might as well just be given the #1 seed right now-who do you think is numero dos? I thought it was KC, but they've looked mortal these last two weeks. Still KC? Baltimore? Houston? Buffalo? Hell, Oakland? I'd probably lean Houston, but not with much conviction.
I disagree with this. A lot can happen between now and then. I think its very feasible the Chiefs could win the AFC.
2nd place in the AFC is a tallest midget contest.
Still really early but right now I like GB, SF, SEA, and NO.
So that should easily move them to the #2 line. They had a very tough loss opening week in New Orleans. They rallied and should have won if not for a 58 yarder by Lutz at the buzzer.
These are guys that should all come back. They just got Tyreek back, the OL should return to form once healthy, the running game will settle, Mahomes will be able to move around again and they'll go back to putting up video game numbers. If anything, the defense has taken a step forward so I expect them to be a better team in January this year than they were last.
In the NFC I think the Saints, Niners and GB are a class above. Dallas can get back there once they get their OTs back, that's a completely different offense when that OL is healthy. I think the Seahawks are kind of frauds, it's basically the Russell Wilson show and not much else. They lost to the Saints with Bridgewater on training wheels, barely got by the Bengals and Big Ben-less Steelers and did not look particularly impressive vs the Cards. The best wins have come the last two weeks but I think we all know now that the Rams and Browns aren't who many expected them to be. They've faced a low key cup cake schedule and haven't really been winning pretty.
With Luck I felt they were hands down the best team in the AFC. We’ll see with Brissett but they are a legitimate threat.
Bills also looking strong, with Allen throwing much better this year than last year, but I can't see them making a big comeback if they fall behind.
Lamar Jackson is fun to watch, but Baltimore's defense isn't as strong as I would have thought they would be.
Agreed. They have the 4-1 Bills behind them and another game with them.
