jetlord 10,209 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 So every team has at least eight games in (some, including the Chiefs have nine) so it's easier to predict where this season is going playoff wise. There are nine teams in the AFC playing for seven spots unless COVID pushes the league into a rumored 16 team playoff. Yesterday, every one of the nine won with the exception of IND which lost to another contender, BAL. It's interesting to look at the remain schedules of those teams and guess at a final record and playoff seeding. BUF (7-2): AZ, PIT, MIA (tough games) LAC, SFO, DEN, NE (should win) MIA (5-3😞 KC, LV, BUF.......LAC, DEN, NYJ,CINN, NE PIT (8-0): BAL, BUF, IND.......CINN, JAX, WASH, CIN, CLE BAL (6-2): TENN, PIT......NE, DAL, CLE, JAX, NYG, CLE CLE (5-3) TEN, BAL. PIT.....HOU, PHL, JAX, NYG, NYJ TENN (5-2): IND, BAL, IND, GB,....CLE, JAX, DET, HOU IND (5-3): TENN, GB, TENN, LV, PIT,.....HOU, HOU, JAX LV (5-3): KC, IND, MIA,....DEN, ATL, NYJ, LAC, DEN KC (8-1): LV, TB, MIA, NO,......DEN, ATL, LAC So what does it all mean? CLE and IND with three losses and three or more tough games are the least likely to make the playoffs. PIT, KC, and BAL would seem to be the top three although either PIT or BAL will drop to the fifth seed as a non-division winner.. MIA and BUF will fight it out for the third and fourth seed with TENN. Either MIA or BUF will be sixth and LV seventh. My prediction is PIT, KC, BUF, TENN, BAL, MIA, LV. First round would be KC/LV, BUF/MIA, and TENN/BAL. Second round KC/BUF and PIT/BAL Okay, Fire Away! And I'm sure there are mistakes in here somewhere.

mex 65,581 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 good effort but a tad too early to speculate... I'd agree with your playoff teams at face value but that's assuming the 2nd half goes like the first anything can happen in half a season I mean everyone's worried about the chiefs defense... but I watched the undefeated steelers get bitch slapped by a 5th string QB who's been passed around more'n a bong at a grateful dead concert dallas had that game... and blew it with stupid mistakes and penalties point being anyone can get beat by anyone on any given day... its the fucking NFL... look at the niners... 9 games ago they were unstoppable (except for one team) and now they're what... 4-5? with half the season left, sure leaves a lot of room for shit to happen both expected and unexpected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,220 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I agree. A lot can happen in half a season. But I think it ends up: KC Pitt Miami (I like their defense and don't trust Josh Allen in bad weather games + what happened to the Buffalo D?) Tenn Wildcards Bal Buff LV Has anyone brought up that the nfl has a backup plan in case games are lost that can't be rescheduled? The plan is to add a week to the regular schedule, then add a team to the playoffs and no bye. If there were uneven number of games played, seed teams by win %. That would suck for the 1 seed.

We do it every year when the schedule comes out, marking off probable wins and tough games. Some key players will be injured. Some teams will just have bad days or get the bad calls. But with two weeks before the next game, it's just a fun exercise to predict and see how close we come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFCWEST 1,238 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 From Article AP..I like this summary https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2020/11/10/21556788/chiefs-week-9-defensive-film-review-tough-sledding-against-carolina-nfl The bottom line This was not a particularly good performance by the Kansas City defense. The Panthers rushing attack — and their short passing game — kept them ahead of the sticks, making life difficult for the Chiefs’ defense. Joe Brady called an amazing game, the Panthers’ receiving corps made some terrific catches, Bridgewater was decisive and accurate — and McCaffrey looked like the player he was before his ankle injury. And yet... the defense had the opportunity to put this one away. That’s why the game has left a sour taste in our mouths. The Chiefs are going to get every team’s best shot. They’re the defending champions — and this is the National Football League. But performances like one this raise questions about what could happen when the Chiefs’ defense faces more difficult opponents later in the season. Over the last three weeks, Spagnuolo and company have definitely handled their business, finishing the job in every game. Against the Panthers, they were on the brink of doing it again — but a poor finish nearly lost the game. Now with a much-needed bye week — which might include the return of Sneed and Alex Okafor — there’s reason to believe that the best is still yet to come for the defense. That is... if they can finish. One would imagine that the next time the team takes the field — this time against the Las Vegas Raiders — they’ll be fired up to do just that. mex and Iluvhouse24 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balto 723 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 WOW Pit as an easy 2nd half schedule. Fukers Are only hope is that noodle arm chokes mcgee Jackson plays well and gets a W so we get the tie breaker IF we don't get beat again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both teams could lose several games. Lots of hope left. Iluvhouse24 and artsy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
