[Manster7588]

This is much harder to pick than the NFC, therefore I'm not picking.

 

[bksballer89]

KC and Pittsburgh

 

[RobToxin]

Why you leave out 6-3 Houston?

Don't worry.

That was a joke.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

KC and Pittsburgh

Lol, NE may get the Titans again for their fuckup in Nashville

 

[SteelersPride]

this is hard. THe steelers have a rough run, the pats are right there.

THen everyone assumes KC is a lock. They are playing great, but mahomes has slowed down a bit. A BIT. the chargers are rolling on offense, and hyperefficient. Rivers efficiency is nutty IMHO. They still play eachother again. i trully dont know.

obviously its pick one KC/LA and the other is NE/PIT.

what i must say scares me about NE, and i know never ever count them out

BUt in the last 5 games Tom Brady has tbhrown 5 td's, bolstered by a 3td game, in his last 3 games, 1 td.
that O is sputtering of late.
Granted they played the Bears, titans with top 5 D units

but the bills, pack, chiefs arent exactly good

Actually, I think the Bills are elite defensively. Their O is just that bad.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Kinda thinking Minny beats NE and and LAC falls flat in a TNF roadie in Arrowhead; though I wouldn't be stunned to see a loss to a team like Denver or some similar mediocre team. They have been flirting with disaster in a couple 1 score games this year.

yeah actually they are better than I thought, I just looked.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Chiefs win against the Rams and the path for LA to win the division becomes borderline mission impossible, imo.

Would have to win @Steelers @KC (on a TNF) and @Broncos still on the schedule. Still no idea what a Lamar Jackson Ravens team looks like, but it could be more threatening than the current Flacco iteration

loss hurts the chiefs way more than the rams So go rams

Meh, it just makes the TNF with the Chargers more important. Does it make a difference if they go 14-2 versus 15-1? Hell, even 13-3? If they beat the Chargers, it's GG most likely for the top seed. Beating the Rams probably makes the Chargers game significantly less dangerous.

 

[CaptainStubing]

Chiefs will get 1 ... either NE or PITT the other ... probably whoever wins their head to head

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

If this question would have been asked prior to the start of the season, my picks would have been Jax and the Chargers. I'm still wondering what the hell has happened to the Jags. I thought they had the best D in the conference and perhaps the entire league. The Chargers were my 'sleeper' pick.

In the NFC I had the Rams & Saints with the top two records. So far that one seems to be panning out.

Trying to live off a dominant D for a long timeframe is a fool's game when your QB is as bad as Bortles/Keenum/Siemian/Sanchez and so on and so forth.

 

[Battlelyon]

Raiders & Bills

 

[Battlelyon]

Patriots and Steelers

 

[Ricky Roma]

KC and NE.

Well I figured Bortles was a big component in their downfall. But I'm wondering if other phases of the game, such as their defense, is also contributing. To be honest, I haven't watched a single second of a Jags game this year, so I have no idea what has changed to have caused such a major turnaround to their fortunes.

Not sure if you realize how good the chargers are.
