Way Too Early Look At The Playoff Picture (2018 Season) (1 Viewer)

[-OZ-]

This is cool -- thanks for sharing.  I also like ESPN's playoff machine

Thanks, I was looking for that earlier. I thought Yahoo did one but I didn't find it. 

Chiefs / Seahawks seems big, and it will be for the chiefs. I think Seattle actually wins that and bumps KC out of the 1 seed.

Playing the Saints in New Orleans is a whole different animal. I was there for the Eagles/Saints game about a month ago, and that crowd is LOUD. With that defense, the Bears can probably hang for awhile with the Saints, but I have a hard time seeing Trubisky being able to do enough to win the game in that hostile environment. But that is why they play the game

It is. But I think the bears can get the number two seed, maybe even the number one.

How?

Going to be really tough.  I think the Rams likely win out their last two games after getting things right this week. However it's going to be VERY hard for minny/seattle/philly to go on the road and beat them in the playoffs.

I agree with this, but it is funny that the Cowboys just beat the Saints, and the Eagles beat the Rams (on the road).

Too inconsistent....I have a bit of confidence in Foles.....not much in Prescott....when the playoffs start I'll take the Brees'/Bradys/Wilsons/and roethlispukers of the world.

I'm not counting the Colts out yet.  Reich is doing a great job and a product of the Eagles mentality of coaching.  

I look at their schedule for rest of the season and don't see anyone scary at this point for them.  Jaguars and Titans at home next two weeks and could be 2-1 in the division.

Well, if the season ended today:

AFC East: Fins/Pats (Coin Flip)
AFC North: Ravens
AFC South: Jaguars
AFC West: Chiefs
WC: Bengals, Fins/Pats

Jets/Broncos outside looking in based on conference record if I follow the tie-breakers at all.

NFC East: Redskins
NFC North: Packers
NFC South: Bucs
NFC West: Rams
WC: Vikes/Panthers

Eagles out on combined ranking of PF/PA.

It's always more difficult then it would seem to pick the playoff teams at the beginning of the year.  You went 3/6 in the AFC ans 1/6 in the NFC.
