NFL 2025-2026 Season

[cpalmer2k]

Minus two teams, the NFC squads are crashing. The AFC teams are mostly ascending into the playoffs. Two divisions (with the worst winners) to be determined on the final week in head to head combat.

Buffalo are slipping. New England is in ascendence, but it is the Broncos who seem to be in charge in their unlikely rise to the top. AFC playoff games could be quite epic. Patriots winning against Miami would give them home field against all but Denver. Oddly enough, the Patriots are the only team undefeated away from home this season. Seattle and 49ers are peaking at the right time. Eagles, after their "win" against Buffalo, hard to tell who is showing up in the playoffs.

I think both conferences are pretty wide open heading in the playoffs. It's going to be fun to watch this all play out with the Chiefs out of the mix for the first time in forever. I'm looking forward to it.

My Steelers have to beat Baltimore to get in and win thier division ... I don't think they get in without a win on Sunday ... regardless, they are not going anywhere in the playoffs .. again.
Srteelers once again failed to take advantage of the situation, Baltimore at one time was 4 GAMES out of first ... they made up 4 games, or should I say the Steelers opened the door for them.

So, thats said, I'll root for Houston and New England .... Surprise team in the Playoffs would be Chicago (and NE ) I can root for the Pats now, I guess I'm rooting for the Buckeyes really, there are a lot out there playing in a lot of locations.

Glad KC is out, just tired of them being there every year, I can say the same with Philly all though they haven't been there as much. I Do really like Barkley and a good Running game.

Same with my Panthers, who actually have a chance to get in the playoffs for the first time since 2018. They'll be one and done too, but at least they may get there either by beating the Bucs outright or with some help from the Falcons if they beat the Saints.

I'm personally rooting for the Jaguars, but I think they'll run into trouble quick in the playoffs because their defense is very weak at times. If their offense continues to shine though they may make some noise.
