All of the above
Not a hot take among them. Just cold hard facts.
I actually think you can make a legitimate for or against argument for all of them.
I think they’re pretty hot. I just like them all this week.
I do think the Ravens will be a SB contender if they get in. Everyone in the NFC wants the 5 seed. In the AFC no one wants it if it is the Ravens. Texans are still trying to win the division so if I am the Bills and Chargers I would be happy letting them get the 5 and having that defense take out Henry and Lamar if they can.
I suppose, by definition, someone in the AFC has to be a contender. The rest follows from there.
I really don't believe in any AFC team but one of them has to get to the Super Bowl.
This is the year for a Jacksonville vs Panthers showdown.
If the 49ers or Bills don't make it to the SB a game like that would be my next choice. Haha
Looks like the Falcons winning against the Rams pretty much screwed us on the Panthers cross off. I will take the L on that one but now the Bucs need to win and have the Falcons lose to the Saints who have been playing better but so have the Falcons.
NFC South giveth and NFC South taketh.
Nice options this time
Thanks. Which one did you take?
Heh. Niners are the best in the NFC. Mostly because I don't think their defense is good enough. But then again, everybody sucks, so maybe they are the best.
Are the best hot takes the ones that are true?
49ers are playing the best, might get the 1 seed and might win the NFC but without Bosa and Warner I don't think they are the best team. I guess if you win the conference technically you are the best but I think the Rams, Seahawks and Eagles are better teams. The best team doesn't always win and I think all teams are flawed. Seahawks might be the most complete team in the NFL with a top 5 defense, top 5 STs and top 10 offense but does anyone really trust Darnold to win a game for the 1 seed and then two more playoff games. Seems unlikely he has that in him without pulling one Darnold game.
Excellent analysis, as usual.
Saints may have found their QB
They look a lot better and he is playing well but same thing happened with Penix down the stretch last year for the Falcons in meaningless games and I am not sure the Falcons are sold on him being their QB so I guess we will see.
