I actually think Bradford is a significant upgrade from Hill. If he does get hurt, they are just back where they started, not any worse off. That being said, they gave up a shit ton so they'd better hope everything goes perfectly.
But with AP in that offense, all Bradford has to do it stay healthy and not make mistakes. It's not like they need a pro bowl season out of him in order to contendfor the playoffs. Hill needed to be much better than he's shown he's capable of for them to get there.
Still, I have Minnesota as the first team out in the Wild Card race. I'm more interested in the fact that the Eagles get to see what they have in Wentz this year.KMD is the coolest dude who ever lost a bet to me - vonflare-

The Colts should at least come close and the Titans probably have at least some small chance. But yeah, I agree that whoever it is gets a 4 seed and loses the the AFC West #2 team. Hopefully that's Denver or KC with the Raiders winning the West.KMD is the coolest dude who ever lost a bet to me - vonflare-

I'd have gone for it on 4th and 10. Same logic as the field goal, but probably slightly better odds of picking up the first down than making the field goal from there.
Also, I don't consider KC's win an upset. They are a better team than Denver.KMD is the coolest dude who ever lost a bet to me - vonflare-

Nope, Browns opponents for next year are:
Bengals x2
Steelers x2
Ravens x2
Jaguars
Titans
Texans
Colts
Packers
Vikings
Bears
Lions
Jets
Chargers
*Note: They'd play the Bills or Broncos instead of the Jets or Chargers respectively if either team were to finish last in their division which is technically still possible, but unlikely.KMD is the coolest dude who ever lost a bet to me - vonflare-

This is probably the first time I've heard anyone say the Raiders have a better defense than the Texans.In post 617, PokerFace wrote:What happened to Carr and Mariota is sad. Both teams could have been in playoffs but I doubt either would have won it all. Raiders will likely lose to denver next week without Carr. So Raiders will play Houston in round one in what will be a QB display of futility on both sides of the field. As raiders have better defense and its playoffs, I think they'll win. But regardless of who it is, they lose to the patriots the week after that. Been saying it all year. NE vs PIT in AFC title gameKMD is the coolest dude who ever lost a bet to me - vonflare-

Have they ever had arguably the best in the league at both positions at the same time?
It's gonna be a good game regardless. But I don't think they've ever really had quite what they have now on offense, or at least not recently. Ward and Bettis were obviously great players. Holmes and Parker, meh. But Bell is a unique player who does it all and Brown is damn near unstoppable. If they don't fall apart in the red zone, this offense is very hard to slow down.KMD is the coolest dude who ever lost a bet to me - vonflare-

Romo's not going to KC. Foles is fine as a backup for them and Romo wants to start.
I agree with you on Tampa though. I've been saying since their little winning streak that their near future looks pretty bright.
1. PIT
2. NE
3. OAK
4. TEN
5. KC
6. CIN
1. DAL
2. SEA
3. TB
4. GB
5. ATL
6. NYG

37-20. Carr MVP.
Top 5 2018 draft picks:
1. NYJ
2. LA Rams
3. CHI
4. PHI
5. CLE
Fully admit to my Raiders fan bias and this is just for fun. Tampa beat KC and Seattle in that winning streak this season. I want to see what they do at RB, especially during Martin's suspension. But Winston played pretty well and is only getting better and more comfortable. Evans fixed his problems with drops and put up great numbers (#4 in rec yards, #2 in Rec TDs). I expect an upgrade at TE. The line obviously needs work, but if they take care of that, the offense will be one of the best in the league.
I considered putting the Bills in the 6 seed, but I don't like that they are going with a complete overhaul when they don't need to. The Bengals' biggest problem was injuries and they can fix that.
The NFC North is interesting too and it's easy to just default to the Packers because of their consistency over past years, but it's really not that simple. The Vikings showed promise early in the year, but they have very little cap space to fix the issues that they ran into and the DBs need to get on the same page with the coaching staff. The Lions improved a lot out of nowhere and it's hard to say whether they'll repeat this season's success or not. I can see it because the change seems to be a locker room / culture kind of thing, but maybe that would change if they lost a few games in a row at some point. It's hard for us fans to predict something like that because we aren't in the locker room with them. The Packers have already moved on from a couple of players early this offseason (Starks, Shields) but they don't really tend to make a lot of changes and they don't need to. I'd like to see them establish a running game, but they don't have many other weaknesses.
Most of my other picks are just teams that are good right now that it's hard to see dropping off. Of course 2-3 of them, at a minimum, probably will. But it will be because of a bad offseason, injuries, or other bad luck/decisions that there's no way we'll see coming right now. Other teams will improve in the draft and free agency, but it's hard to say who or why, and they may jump some of these teams. For example, the Redskins have a ton of uncertainty in their passing game. Until we see the offseason (who they keep, who they don't, and who they bring in), how can we say how they'll do next season?
I also feel weird putting the Browns at #5 in the draft believe it or not. They have a ton of draft picks, including #1 and #12 overall. They have a ton of cap space. And I really like their head coach. But a 1-15 team that is terrible at drafting and will struggle to get free agents to want to sign with them doesn't turn into a playoff team overnight. It will take time. And yes, more than it has already because they basically started over (again) last offseason. Now that they have the cap space and draft picks, it's time to see what they do with it. Baby steps.KMD is the coolest dude who ever lost a bet to me - vonflare
