MVP: Joe Burrow

I was surprised different QBs have won MVP and OPOY before - it happened in 2011 (Brees OPOY/Rodgers MVP), 2008 (Brees/Peyton) and 1990 (Moon/Montana).

I'm not doing records, that's sick, lol

AFC EAST

Jets
Fish
Bills
Pats

Notes: I wish I could buy insurance. I don't gamble but if I did, I might wager $10K on the Jets to miss the playoffs

AFC NORTH

Bengals
Browns
Ravens
Pitt

Notes: Lamar is good but the Ravens lost guys and D coordinator that I like. Close division.

AFC SOUTH

Jags
Houston
Indy
Titans

Notes: I watched the Jets beat the everloving shit out of Houston. We killed those guys. I should probably let it go but I can't get into their darling-hoodness. Good coaching and I loved Stroud coming out but gimme the Jags.

AFC WEST

Chiefs
Chargers
Broncos
Raiders

Notes: I'm a big-time pig time fan of Harbaugh so that might get me in trouble here because the roster is not great. Maybe would hurt me picking over under but not so much here.

Seeds: Seeing it laid out like this, Chiefs should be the one seed. Head and shoulders above the rest of their division, all other divisions are competitive. Jets could go 20-0 though so be on the lookout for that.

Chiefs (1)
Jets
Jags
Bengals
Fish
Browns
Houston

PLAYOFFS???

(2)Jets over Houston
(6)Browns over Jags
(4)Bengals over Fish

(1) Chiefs over Browns
(2) Jets over Bengals

Jets over Chiefs. You know it, I know it, Everybody knows it. They robbed us in the Swift Bowl but we take revenge.

Giants

Notes: Eagles thing was very weird last year. Maybe they get it back together.

NFC NORTH

Lions
Vikings
Packers
Bears

Notes: Need to go against chalk somewhere. So much weird with Vikes it could be year from hell but I think they could surprise

NFC SOUTH

Bucs (I go to games 1X a year so why not)
Falcons
Panthers (I was very impressed by what Canales did with Baker; hurts my call for the 1 seed but who cares)
Saints

Notes: Not a ton of confidence in this division.

NFC WEST

Seahawks
Niners
Rams
Cardinals

Notes: fun division, really fun.

Seeds:

Dallas

I liked the slimmed down version, so I am copying it.

AFC East: Dolphins
AFC North: Bengals
AFC South: Texans
AFC West: Chiefs
WC1: Ravens
WC2: Jets
WC3: Colts

NFC East: Cowboys
NFC North: Lions
NFC South: Falcons
NFC West: 49ers
WC1: Eagles
WC2: Packers
WC3: Commanders

Title games: Lions over 49ers; Dolphins over Chiefs. Lions win SB. Goff is SB MVP and Tua is regular season MVP.

Coach Hardo gets fired and replaced by BB.

Pats win 5; not sure who they beat. We get a top OT in the draft. Maye takes over in Week 4 after the ghost of Mo Lewis pile drives Jake Brisket Week 3.

I reserve the right to edit later tonight.

kartvelo · Sep 5, 2024

I don't know enough to predict each matchup, but I have to believe that KC is the odds-on favorite to three-peat the SB. Practically the entire team and staff from last year is coming back. The offense didn't lose any firepower, and their young defense could be even stronger than last year. I mean, any given Sunday and all, but... who's in a position to stop them? BAL is in flux, BUF and MIA have yet to take that last step they need, etc. Who's gonna be the team to step up and take it from them?

I don't see Maye getting a start before, maybe.... week 10? unless the OL shows some real improvement before then.

Before responding in outrage, remember that I began this post with the words, "I don't know enough."

That aged poorly.
At least I didn’t pick the Dolphins to win it all…

Late edit: should have added that I hope Tua's OK. But given this latest concussion, I think it is unlikely he will be playing QB for the Dolphins much longer.

Favorite I'll grant you. Odds-on favorite?! I hope for your sake you know enough not to be betting on your NFL predictions...

(FWIW KC were about a 15% chance to win the superbowl coming into the season per Betfair betting exchange)
