We are down to the final 14 teams. So we will only rank the remaining teams going forward. Sorry to those teams who are eliminated. You now can get busy firing and hiring coaches and getting ready for the draft. And if you are the Bengals maybe work on not sucking for the first month of the season instead of blaming the Chiefs for sitting their starters, something they decided to do back when you were 7-8. Let’s dive into the teams that actually did what they needed to do to get in as opposed to those who didn’t get the help they needed from other teams.

Congrats you made the playoffs…for this weekend: Broncos, Packers, Texans

Making the playoffs is not small feat…unless you play in the AFC South. The Texans haven’t looked good for like 10 weeks now but they are hosting a playoff game. It will be their only playoff game. Congrats to the Broncos for making the playoffs for the first time since 2015. Your reward is going to Buffalo to play the MVP and the Bills in the round that the Bills always win in. The Packers can’t beat anyone good and just lost to a team they never lose to…at home…in a game that meant nothing for the Bears. Oh and they lost one of the best offensive players along the way.

Guess who’s back…back again: Steelers

The Steelers are in the playoffs yet again. All they do is win…enough games to have a winning record. Their season will be ending shortly.

Could win a game…maybe two…but probably just one: Chargers, Bucs, Commanders, Vikings

I’ll make my predictions for the games on Five for Friday. But I think the Chargers are going to win and they have played the Chiefs tough twice so you never know. Either the Bucs or Commanders are going to win at least one game and maybe they can win another but I don’t see either winning 3 in a row. Vikings are good but also one of the worst franchises ever when it comes to winning playoff games.

Either losing this round or going to the Super Bowl: Rams

I’m not sure if they get out of this round but they are dangerous and if they get on a roll look out. Plus, they were my NFC preseason prediction to make the Super Bowl so I got to keep hope alive.

Battling for second place in the AFC: Ravens and Bills

Both these teams are going to win. And then they will play each other for the right to go play the Chiefs. The teams/quarterbacks are a combined 0-4 against the Chiefs in the playoffs.

Battling to lose in the Super Bowl: Lions and Eagles

These are the two best teams in the NFC. They both have some questions at coaching. Dan Campbell goes on 4th down too much which may cost them and Nick Sirianni does a lot of ridiculous things. But they got lots of weapons and both team are coming into this post season hot.

Got to beat the Champs to be the champs: Chiefs

The Chiefs are the 1 seed once again. Patrick is a ridiculous 15-3 in the playoffs. He hasn’t lost to any quarterback or franchise that is in this thing in the playoffs. The defense since week 12 has created 11 turnovers. The Chiefs offense has no turnovers during the same time period. They have the best coach and the best quarterback and are hosting the Arrowhead invitational once again.

Tune in tomorrow for the top 10 things to watch for wild card weekend and then on Friday, tune in for my predictions for the games with Five for Friday Wild Card Weekend edition.
