No one would trade away much of anything for Romo.

Not even the Browns.

Romo is nearing the end of his career. He can't be the franchise answer for anyone at his age. Only value Romo would have would be teaching a young player. Fitz and maybe Geno should be out of new york next year. Romo could be useful training up Petty. Rams could have interest if they thought Goff would benefit from Romo.

Cle it really depends on how Jackson feels about Kessler and Hogan. If he really likes one of them, we could give up number one pick for another large group of picks. Or we could use that pick on whoever. McCown is still under contract for next year. These reasons make Cle unlikely to get involved with Romo.

Bridgewater or Bradford will be gone from Minnesota next year. The presence of either will keep romo out. Bradford could go to any place romo could go but romo would be a far better teacher. If Chip is still in power in SF next year, that's where I think Bradford will go. Kaep and or Gabbert could be gone

Bears should go with someone new as Jay or Hoyer can tutor a new guy for a longer time.

Browns and Ravens didn't play today. Cin is monday night and Pit was in afternoon. So my cable provider gave me GB vs TEN and MIN vs WAS at 1 today. NFC North looked bad today. It wouldn't surprise me if only one team from that division makes playoffs eventually. AFC has NE looking like best team, but NFC could really have anyone make it to the superbowl

EDIT: Seattle made a statement last night against NE. Seeing SEA vs NE in superbowl would be great. This week had some good football with this game and the DAL vs PIT game

NFC

DAL
SEA
ATL
DET

Not having a running back or a defense doesn't help

After seeing MIN > ARI I think final wild cards go to WAS and either NYG or MIN

MIN has screwed up but key wins over NYG and ARI gonna give them a chance at last wild card

I think the Vikings are still gonna win the division. I think they have a slightly easier remaining schedule than the Lions:

@DET
DAL
@JAX
IND
@GB
CHI

vs the Lions'

MIN
@NO
CHI
@NYG
@DAL
GB

That last stretch looks pretty crazy for the Lions.

Goddamn the AFCN is going to be nasty coming up to the end. I still think the Steelers will pull through in the end but it will be a slog for both us and the Ravens.

Steelers remaining schedule:

@IND
NYG
@BUF
@CIN
BAL
CLE

Ravens:

CIN
MIA
@NE
PHI
@PIT
@CIN

That's just nasty for Baltimore. Lots of potential home upsets in there, along with an almost certain loss to the Patriots.

The Steelers are playing waaaaay better at home this year, so honestly the only games in there that look truly troubling are the road games against the Bills and Bengals, especially the former. Heyward is out for the rest of the season so our run defense has taken a huge hit, and that's not something you want to hear when you've got to go up against LeSean McCoy.

My guess at this point:

AFC


1. NE (12-4)
2. OAK (12-4)
3. PIT (10-6)
4. HOU (10-6)
5. KC (11-5)
6. DEN (11-5)

NFC


1. DAL (13-3)
2. SEA (11-4-1)
3. MIN (11-5)
4. ATL (11-5)
5. NYG (10-6)
6. WAS (9-6-1)

That last NFC wild card is up in the air for me though. Detroit could edge out the Skins or Giants easily.

TEN could steal AFC south from Houston pending schedules

I feel Redskins have better chance of making playoffs over NYG and MIN

I really want that espn or nfl playoff machine working now since doing math in head with tie breakers is hard

Somehow, I ended up with the Ravens in the 6 seed over the broncos.

No other surprises.

I'm really surprised the Vikings has all the tiebreakers over the NFC East, as I also had the Giants and Eagles at 9-7. That's got to be a quirk in these projections though, as I imagine the Eagles have the tiebreakers in my particular scenario. Dallas ends up #2 because I think they drop one more to both the Giants and Eagles, the Hawks just have an easier schedule down the stretch as they don't face a team over .500 the rest of the way. The AFC West makes a strong case for best division, bumping out the 10-6 Dolphins and Bills. The only one that's a toss up for me is of course the AFC North because I'm biased and will never predict the Ravens to lose against the Steelers. Pretty much their match-up in Week 16 decides the division, as the winner goes 9-7 at best. I also think the Titans run up enough games to take the AFC South from Houston.

EDIT: I had to redo it, and tiebreakers aren't really working, as now the Eagles are my 6th seed. I guess it just assigns the 6th seed to whatever team is picked to win most recently.

So its not just the copy url button that is broke at moment. Lame, hope they fix soon

WAS and PHI beat MIN earlier this year while NYG lost to them. ARI also lost to MIN so those games should be whats deciding things
