It's that time of year again. Pick 5 NFL teams that will not make the playoffs. I'll add them to a google docs spreadsheet like last year. If you just quote a post without making your own picks I'm not adding them. And yes, I know many people say picking 5 is too easy, so were adding Worm's idea from last year:
The winner is the person/people with the highest number of non-playoff teams without getting one wrong.
My 2015 picks: Jags, Redskins, Bears, Raiders, Titans
2014 Results
2013 Results
Well the board conversion screwed up the 2006 table so I'll hide the ugliness

2014 Update - Which 5 do you have not making the playoffs this year? I'll add them to a google docs spreadsheet like last year. If you just quote a post without making your own picks I'm not adding them. If you pick more than 5, I'm just listing the first 5.
The most likely team to miss the playoffs according to FBGs? The Oakland Raiders, named on 46 out of 65 entries. The rest of the FBG composite pick was Jax (42), Cleveland (36), Buffalo (36), and St. Louis (31). Bicycle Sniffer, Deranged Hermit, and Angry Beavers had this exact fivesome.
Picks and Results
The percentage of FBGs getting it right increased from almost 40% in 2013 to 60% in 2014. Special award goes out to Raider Nation for picking 3 teams that made the playoffs.

2013 Picks linked here
2013 Results linked here
According to FBGs, the Jets are most likely to miss the 2013 playoffs, being selected on 50 of the 63 ballots. Close behind were the Raiders (49) and Jags (47). Rounding out the consensus 5 that will miss are the Cardinals (27) and Bills (26). Foosball God, shadyridr, WampusCat43, avoiding injuries, and MAC_32 picked this combination.
Only 3 teams not named and therefore certain locks: New England, Denver, and San Francisco (Edit: These were all correct)
If someone named more than 5 (which a few did), I used the first 5 listed. Also the vote total will increase by 1 as Dr Detroit listed Vags
and that could be the Jags but given he's a Lions fan could also be the Vikes.
Unique picks:
Captain Quinoa picked the Redskins and Falcons
Joe Summer picked Green Bay
McGarnicle picked Houston (and the Mets, but I gave him the Jets)
Niles Standish picked the Bengals and Giants
Gopher State picked Detroit, Seattle, and New Orleans
Final Result: 39.68% of the 63 selections would have won the bet (me not included). Ryan Succop cost a lot of people yesterday.
Original Post:
Somebody made a bet last year about picking 5 NFL teams that would all miss the playoffs. I thought it would be pretty easy, but sure enough Chicago bit me in the butt. I can't find that thread from last year, I'd be interested to see how many people won, it seems like the guy made several bets.
For this year, I'll go: Jets, 49ers, Texans, Raiders, and Titans.
