Bills defeat Steelers 17-10. Bills get the win behind a strong defensive performance and clinch a playoff spot. It will be interesting to see what they do in the playoffs as they have a solid team but I’m unsure how good Allen is, he will need to play better if they are going to be competitive in the playoffs. The Steelers are in the playoff race but they have a major problem at QB as neither Hodges nor Rudolph seems capable of being a starting QB, and I don’t see them contending in the playoffs with their QB situation.
Cowboys defeat Rams 44-21. Cowboys finally play up to their potential and beat a decent opponent, dominating on both sides of the ball. They are in control of their own destiny in the division race and I think they will win the NFC East and they need to play like they did today in order to be competitive in the playoffs. It looks like the Rams will miss the playoffs, they’ve had a disappointing season, while they are a good team, they’ve had issues with a mediocre rushing attack and O-Line as well as an inconsistent defense.
Texans defeat Titans 24-21. Texans take control of the AFC South as they win a huge game, I think they win the division and it will be interesting to see if they are competitive in the playoffs, I like their offense a lot but their defense is somewhat iffy IMO. The Titans are now on the outside of the playoff race and I don’t see them making it, but I give them credit for turning their season around after a bad start.
Packers defeat Bears 21-13. Packers with another nice win, they are playing very solid all around and while they aren’t getting as much attention they are a very good team who will contend in the playoffs IMO. The Bears are eliminated from the playoff race, their offense is just not that good and I think Trubisky may be a bust so I have concerns for them going forward despite their strong defense.
Chiefs defeat Broncos 23-3. Chiefs with a dominant win, Mahomes and Kelce with big games, and the Chiefs are one of the AFC’s best teams and will be a contender in the playoffs IMO. The Broncos are rebuilding but they may have found their franchise QB in Lock and that is very important, but they are in a rebuilding phase.
Falcons defeat 49ers 29-22. Falcons pull off the upset in a thriller, they are a talented team that should have a much better record than they have, and I’m unsure of whether Quinn will be fired or not in the offseason, but if the Falcons defense plays well they are a strong team and they have a great passing attack. Disappointing loss for the Niners as their offense didn’t look good and their defense failed them when it mattered, they were having a letdown after their win at the Saints IMO, they are still a very good team but their offense has to show up.
Patriots defeat Bengals 34-13. Pats get the win against the terrible Bengals but weren’t very impressive on offense once again, it’s very concerning how mediocre their offense is but their defense is outstanding. The Bengals are just dreadful and need a new franchise QB and will probably get the #1 pick and select Burrow with it.
Seahawks defeat Panthers 30-24. Seahawks move to first place in the NFC West with this win, they are a strong team and Wilson had a very good game, they are one of the NFC’s top teams and will be a contender in the playoffs IMO. The Panthers are out of the playoff race and they need to do something at QB as Allen has proven himself to be a turnover machine and so their future is uncertain.
Vikings defeat Chargers 39-10. Vikings should get a spot in the NFC playoffs and are a very good team that isn’t getting talked about much, I like what they have and they are playing well on both sides of the ball. The Chargers continue to struggle, I think this is the end of Rivers career with them and their future is very uncertain right now.
Eagles defeat Redskins 37-27. Eagles get the win and stay in the race for the NFC East title, they have a decent offense but their defense is weak and that’s why I don’t see them making the playoffs, but they remain in the race. The Redskins are rebuilding and I’m curious to see if they stick with Haskins or if they select a new QB in the 2020 draft.
Jaguars defeat Raiders 20-16. Raiders choke away their last game in Oakland, and they still have lots of areas to improve upon for next year. The Jags need to figure out whether Minshew is their QB of the future and this was a good win for them, but they have a lot of areas to improve upon as well.
Buccaneers defeat Lions 38-17. Bucs win behind their explosive offense, and I’m very curious to see if they keep Winston, he can be an explosive playmaker but he’s also a turnover machine. The Lions have thrown in the towel and are rebuilding.
Cardinals defeat Browns 38-24. Nice win for the rebuilding Cards, I think Murray is a decent QB and I think they will continue to get better. The Browns have had a very disappointing season and I think Kitchens may get fired as he doesn’t appear to be the right fit, they’ve underperformed and Mayfield seems to have regressed this season.
Giants defeat Dolphins 36-20. A battle between 2 of the NFL’s worst teams, both of whom are rebuilding all around, a meaningless game.
Any thoughts?
I think the Bills and Steelers are at about the same strength. Both have good defenses. But unable offenses. The Bills won't go very far in the playoffs because their offense isn't very able. I can't see them beating the Texans, Chiefs or Ravens.
The only reason the Packers are in the playoff race is because of their schedule. They are only dangerous in the playoffs if they get homefield advantage --- and the weather is bad. Otherwise I can't see them beating the Seahawks, the 49ers or the Saints.
I guess the Cowboys will stay in the GOOD TEAMS group in my power rankings. And Frank and Rey will have a conniption fit . . . Ha ha ha . . .
