Even IF we do see the Raiders again, it’s going to be in a very cold Kansas City environment.

We know Carr sucks nuts in those conditions.

I've changed the way I think of Carr.

I have:

1. Chiefs
2. Steelers
3. Titans
4. Bills
5. Raiders
6. Ravens
7. Browns

1. Saints
2. Packers
3. Rams
4. Cowboys
5. Seahawks
6. Buccaneers
7. Cardinals

Browns & Colts both ended up 10-6, but Browns must have had the tiebreaker. Every NFC team not making the playoffs ended up with a losing record in my scenario, and the Cowboys are in with a stellar 6-10 record.

ThaVirus · 11-23-2020, 04:41 PM

These are always fun. I tried to go conservative and had us dropping the TB and NO games. Here's what I came up with:

1. PIT
2. KC
3. BUF
4. IND
5. TEN
6. BAL
7. LV

Poor Brownies and Dolphins on the outside looking in at 10-6 and 9-7

1. NO
2. GB
3. SEA
4. PHI
5. TB
6. ARI
7. LAR

I have the Eagles taking the NFC East at 6-9-1, hosting the 13-3 Buccaneers in round 1

I tried to sneak in some upsets here and there but I ended up with NYJ, CIN, DET, WFT and JAX losing out. I'm positive that won't happen but it's hard to bet on any of those teams.

Ravens are going 11-5, their schedule is easier than the Raiders. All of the AFC North has a cupcake schedule.

mililo4cpa · 11-23-2020, 07:08 PM

quite possible to have all 7 AFC teams with 12+ wins AND a 10 win team misses out.....crazy

This should be the year that they finally change the rules and do something about this.

Redbled · 11-23-2020, 08:32 PM

For home field I believe tiebreakers are:
Head to head
Conference record
Common opponents

The last one is why we need Balt to win badly this coming week.

They will NEVER change this!

A division winner will always host a WC, regardless how bad a division winner is!

Chris Meck · 11-23-2020, 08:46 PM

I think The Ravens are gonna fold.

RaidersOftheCellar · 11-24-2020, 01:47 AM

Not sure why people are stressing so much over the 1 seed. There won't be a home crowd advantage, and we're likely hosting a team like the Browns/Titans/Dolphins that we would probably dispose of fairly easily.

Gives Mahomes a chance to pad his playoff win total and another rare playoff W for the franchise.

An extra playoff game is another chance to lose a game or major contributor to injury.

The one seed gets a bye, which nearly doubles the chances we'll win the Super Bowl. And right now, the team we would play is the Raiders.

Yes. There's no other league that has eight divisions and four teams per each. I wouldn't mind if they go to four divisions with eight teams in each. Put more prestige on winning a division. We don't need eight freaking divisions.
